The Keswick Convention began in 1875 as a catalyst and focal point for the emerging Higher Life Movement in the United Kingdom . It was founded by the Anglican T. D. Hartford-Battersby and the Quaker Robert Wilson. The first Keswick Convention had over four hundred in attendance. They met under the banner of "All One in Christ Jesus". Among the Keswick Convention's early leading lights were Anglicans J. W. Webb-Peploe, Evan H. Hopkins, and Handley Moule, as well as the Baptist Frederick Brotherton Meyer . John George Govan , who was to go on to found the Faith Mission in Scotland , was in turn influenced by the Keswick Convention. Amy Carmichael was also influenced by this convention. SOURCES
