CLIFFORD, JOHN (16 October 1836, Sawley, England-20 November 1923, London, England). Education: Graduate, Midland Baptist College, 1858; Uni­versity of London, 1866. Career: Pastor, Praed Street Baptist Church, London, 1858-1923; president. Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland, 1888-1899; president. Baptist World Alliance, 1905-11. John Clifford rose from a twelve hour per day child apprenticeship in a large factory through university exams in arts, science, and law to outstanding leadership in the Baptist Christian community. Among his fellow Baptists he was considered a progressive influence theologically. Socially, he frequently sided with radical movements, as evidenced by his membership in the Fabian Society. Politically, he exercised great influence on several pieces of legislation relating to education; he was a known supporter of David Lloyd George. In many ways, Clifford was the father of social Christianity among Free Churchmen in Great Britain. He used his Baptist conviction of religious liberty to advance his feeling that the message of Christ should be interpreted in light of growing knowledge and experience. He opposed, for instance the "living-in" system of apprentices and later the atrocities perpetuated by the Belgians upon the Congo peoples. In 1885 his church established a home for unemployed women, and for more than thirty years he led in the temperance crusade to close public houses where neighborhood sentiment was in strong opposition.

FROM THE BAPTIST UNION OF GREAT BRITAIN (Updated 6th August) Handsworth Mission Baptist Church We sent you recently an e-mail concerning the situation facing Joseph Ismael Al-Refaie who was awaiting the outcome of his asylum hearing. We have now received the following from the Pastor at Handsworth, Rodney Reed: We learned this morning the Adjudicator has ruled that Joseph's Appeal against the UK Government's Refusal to Grant him asylum has been upheld. Unless the UK Govt take this to a higher level within 12 days in an attempt to have this Adjudication overruled Joseph will have his asylum in this country. We now need to pray that the UK Govt accepts the decision of the Adjudicator - however we do already have a great deal for which to be thankful to the Lord. Thank you for your concern and for the prayers already offered for Joseph. Yours sincerely Jackie Sheppard Communications Manager The Baptist Union of Great Britain Tel: 01235 517717 URGENT PRAYER REQUEST FROM THE BAPTIST UNION OF GREAT BRITAIN On Sunday 3 March of this year, David Coffey, the Union's General Secretary preached at a baptismal service at Handsworth Mission Baptist Church in Birmingham.

Wntr, 2000 by Anthony R. Cross Continued from page 4. (7.) Part of the problem for most Baptists is that "sacramentalism" has become in their minds inextricably associated with infant baptism, baptismal regeneration, and an ex opere operato understanding of the rite, and they have generally lost sight of the biblical teaching that God graciously acts in baptism (cf., e.g., Acts 2:38, 22:16, Romans 6:3-4, Titus 3:5 and 1 Peter 3:21). But, in this paper, when Baptists use this word they do so either in the sense of a sacramentum, an oath of allegiance, or as an effective means of grace, whereby the grace of God in Christ is given to the believer through the work of the Holy Spirit.

~Angus~ Some account of the Angus Library 1. Historical background of the library The original heart of the Angus Library was a large collection of printed and manuscript works by English Baptists and other Nonconformists dating from the early 17th Century left to Regent's Park College by Dr. Joseph Angus, Principal of the College from 1849 to 1893 and later catalogued and enlarged by Dr. George Pearce Gould, Principal 1896-1920. Other significant collections have meanwhile been deposited with or donated to the library and in 1985 the Baptist Union Library, which had earlier incorporated the Baptist Historical Society's Library of manuscript and early printed Baptist materials, became part of the Angus Library. In the summer of 1989, when the Baptist Union and the Baptist Missionary Society moved their offices out of London to new joint premises in Didcot, the archives of the B.M.S. were deposited with the Angus Library and the various collections were brought together and relocated in three large rooms of mobile shelving and one smaller room in the basement of the College. The Angus complex now includes a research room both for College research students and for visitors to the Angus Library. The Library is serviced by two part-time posts: the Librarian for 4 days per week and the Archivist for 2 days per week.
