London Manifesto
|
|
After the British captured Jerusalem from the Turks on December 9, 1917, eight well known clergymen from Baptist, Congregationalists, Presbyterian, Episcopalian and Methodist denominations published the following manifesto in London, England. Text # That the present crisis points toward the close of the times of the Gentiles. # That the revelation of the Lord may be expected at any moment, when he will be manifested as evidently as to his disciples on the evening of his resurrection. # That the completed church will be translated, to be “forever with the Lord”. # That Israel will be restored to its own land in unbelief, and be afterward converted by the appearance of Christ on its behalf. # That all human schemes of reconstruction must be subsidiary to the second coming of our Lord, because all nations will be subject to his rule. # That under the reign of Christ there will be a further great effusion of the Holy Spirit on all flesh. # That the truths embodied in this statement are of the utmost practical value in determining Christian character and action with reference to the pressing problems of the hour. Current Opinion, February 1918 Signatories Baptist * A. C. Dixon * Frederick Brotherton Meyer Congregationalists * George Campbell Morgan * Alfred Byrd Presbyterian * William Fuller Couch Episcopalian * H. Webb Peploe * J. Stuart Holden Methodist * Dinsdale T. Young See Also
