Exporting Anglicanism: Missionary problems at home and abroad

Mark Chapman will explore some of the problems that emerged in the early years of the twentieth century in the mission field, with a focus on East Africa. He will focus on the great but intransigent Anglo-Catholic Bishop of Zanzibar Frank Weston and how he found himself in conflict with more Evangelical expressions of Anglicanism. This session will look at how these old disputes continue to affect the Anglican Communion and even the Church of England.
