History

A key event in the development of British conservative evangelicalism was the 1966 National Assembly of Evangelicals, a convention organised by the Evangelical Alliance. Martyn Lloyd-Jones made an unexpected call for evangelicals to unite together as evangelicals and no longer within their 'mixed' denominations. This view was motivated by a belief that true Christian fellowship requires evangelical views on central topics such as the atonement and the inspiration of Scripture. The meeting was chaired by Anglican evangelical John Stott. Lloyd Jones and Stott were the two leading figures within the conservative evangelical movement at that time, Lloyd Jones being a key figure to many in the Free Churches and Stott likewise amongst evangelical Anglicans. The two leaders clashed spectacularly as Stott, though not down as a speaker that night, used his role to publicly disparage Lloyd-Jones, saying that his opinion went against history and the Bible.

The Evangelical Alliance is a London-based charitable organization founded in 1846 with a claimed representation of over 1,000,000 evangelical Christians in the United Kingdom. ... David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (December 20, 1899 – March 1, 1981) was a Protestant Christian who headed much of the evangelical movement of the 20th century. ... The term Anglican describes those people and churches following the religious traditions of the Church of England, especially following the Reformation. ... John Stott John Robert Walmsley Stott, CBE (born 27 April 1921) is a British Christian leader and Anglican presbyter who is noted as a leader of the worldwide evangelical movement. ... A free church is a Christian denomination that is intrinsically separated from any government (as opposed to a theocracy, or an established or state church). ...

The following year saw the first National Evangelical Anglican Congress, which was held at Keele University. At this conference, largely due to Stott's influence, evangelical Anglicans committed themselves to full participation in the Church of England, rejecting the separationist approach proposed by Lloyd-Jones.^[1] Keele University is a research-intensive campus university located near Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, England. ...

These two conferences effectively fixed the direction of a large part of the British evangelical community. Although there is an ongoing debate as to the exact nature of Lloyd-Jones's views, they undoubtedly caused the two groupings to adopt diametrically opposed positions. These positions, and the resulting split, continue largely unchanged to this day.^[2]
