After working on the newspaper from 2002 as assistant and from 2005 to 2021 as Editor, I would be really excited to see these editions preserved. Yet, so much more to see the old editions since 1843 kept here. The Reformed and Evangelical understanding of the important record of the changes in the church over nearly 2 centuries is thus preserved for study. The St James's Chronicle from 1761 might also be included.

Since the new Editor Christopher Pierce took over from Feb. 2021 English Churchman has been radically de-Protestantized. As one who has read this paper for about 20 years, and has also used historical articles from it back to the 19th century, Pierce is the worst thing to happen to EC for a long time. Some general tell-tale signs of this downgrade are immediately apparent in various editions in e.g., the positive pictorial images and comments on the apostate Anglican, religiously liberal Puseyite, incumbent Archbishop of Canterbury, Abp Welby, whose promulgation of an “other gospel” (Gal. 1:8.9; 3:11) includes, though is by no means exhausted by, e.g., his deep involvement in the ecumenical compromise with Romanism; and whose moral putridity is found in both his promotion of anti-patriarchal sex role perversion with women bishops, priests, and deacons; and his attitudes to homosexual sexual perversion which he refuses to condemn as sin. Pierce’s promotion of anti-patriarchal sex role perversion values are also evident with the “Commentary” of Prudence Daily contrary to the apostolic doctrine, “I suffer not a women to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence” (I Tim. 2:12). Contrary to the confessional standards of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer & 39 Articles, Pierce refused to publish the attached letter upholding the Biblical teaching maintaining the Anglican confessional standards teaching that the Roman Pope is the Antichrist. Such are some of the sad examples of Pierce’s worldly lusts, and the fact that he has struck down, and rendered ineffectual, the Protestant witness of EC. Gavin McGrath (author of The Roman Pope is the Antichrist, 1st ed. 2004, revised 1st ed. 2006, 2nd ed. 2010, with a Foreword by the Reverend Sam McKay, Secretary of the Protestant Truth Society 1996-2004 (https://gavin@gavinmcgrathbooks.com/pope.html).

Full title is "English Churchman and St James Chronicle"
The St James Chronicle dates from 1761 and the years 1801 to 1866 are already digitised here. English Churchman dates from 1843. It would be good to include English Churchman to complete this project.

A great source for history and world news as well as church news from 1843

The English Churchman is one of the few Anglican publications faithful to the Protestant heritage of the Church of England.

A useful paper for comment on the Church of England

A vital newspaper for the history of the church of England that must and ought to be preserved for history. I cannot commend this too highly. The evangelical wing of the CofE has been its backbone for centuries.

A great paper. Being able to source past issues etc would be a huge blessing.

Certainly a reliable resource, until today [2021] that is, and therefore very valuable in the history of the Church in England.

The full title is English Churchman and St James's Chronicle. While the English Churchman dates from 1843, the St James's Chronicle dates from 1761. Attached is a chart of the history of the various newspapers incorporated.

A very important resource.

This is an important publication giving over 170 years of church history from one continuous source. It would also provide important material for anyone researching trends in conservative vs more liberal theology over the years.

Appreciated book reviews, stance and meditations therein.

Important reference when it comes to matters of church history and refuting error within the church.

The newspaper has been invaluable since I began reading the published editions. It therefore should be available from the archives so the newspaper must be added.

John Shipton - despite retired, still making contributions as a journalist

Essential to get this in the records.

This would be a valuable resource as many people know the Minister who baptised a relative or something like that. And this will be a valuable resource for much genealogical research.

I believe it will be of great value to all those that we desire to know more about the church history and research about the past, the present and the future.

I have always found the articles in the English Churchman stimulating, invaluable, and useful for study, sermon preparation, and pastoral ministry. It is faithfully rooted in Christian history and Scriptural teaching.

The English Churchman is a very important newspaper for the Church
