Abstract
his chapter examines the rise and progress of Evangelicalism in the Church of England during the eighteenth century. While the movement began in relative isolation in Wales, it soon spread geographically, its teachings finding a receptive audience among many in the Church. Early on, Evangelicals faced numerous challenges, not least in overcoming opposition to their doctrines, evangelistic aims, and disregard of church order. By the end of the century, however, the influence of Evangelicalism had extended into many parts of the Church, the wider society, and even foreign lands, attracting men and women of abundant talent, energy, and spiritual commitment, and transforming the nature of Anglicanism in England and beyond. Especially noteworthy was the leading role the early Evangelicals played in the campaign for abolition, the formation of numerous voluntary societies, the support of women’s spirituality, and enacting various social reforms.
