It was founded as The Modern Churchmen's Union in 1898 . At the end of the 19th century the Modernist movement defended new scientific findings – especially Evolution – and biblical scholarship, against the rising tide of Fundamentalism . Within a few years it had established an annual conference, and, in 1914 , a theological journal. Its most famous conference was 'Christ and the Creeds' in 1921 . It caused a great deal of controversy, not because the MCU took a particular line but because a range of challenging views were expressed. The Church Of England set up a Commission to look into the matter. The Commission duly reported in 1938 and accepted that a range of different views was permissible. EXTERNAL LINKS |
