Church of England Record Society Series ISSN: 1351-3087
Edited by JOHN WALSH & STEPHEN TAYLOR
Papers from an important eighteenth-century religious society provide new insights
into the Evangelical tradition in the Church of England.
The Elland Society was one of the leading Evangelical clerical societies established in the eighteenth century. It
provided a forum in which a group of like-minded clergymen were able to discuss matters of common interest
and concern, and played an important role in supporting young students who were intended for the ministry
during their education at the universities and at a number of informal clerical seminaries.
This volume prints the surviving papers from the early years of the Society's existence - its rules, its minute
books, the prayers used at Society meetings, and papers read by members - accompanied by notes and
introduction. They offer a unique and fascinating insight into the nature and development of Evangelicalism
within the Church of England in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
