B. Linden Webb
Bernard Linden Webb (25 November 1884 – 28 June 1968) was an Australian Christian minister and pacifist. During both World Wars he resigned from active ministry within the Methodist Church of Australasia because of his opposition to his nation's military engagement.
It was said of him on his death, that "he sought and found an expression for religious faith that satisfied both the demands of the spirit and the temper of the age ... for all his gentle modesty he was inflexibly firm and courageous in maintaining his convictions. He believed that war is utterly wrong."〔(Rev. B. Linden Webb and the Hay Methodist Congregation ) Retrieved 1 June 2015〕
The peace activism of the 1960s within the Methodist Church grew from Webb's pioneering pacifist theology of earlier years.〔
==Birth and education==
Webb was born in Bathurst, New South Wales, the fifth of seven children of Edmund Tom Webb and Fanny Edgeworth Webb (née Byrnes).〔(Edmund Tom Webb ) Retrieved 1 June 2015〕 He was a grandson of (Edmund Webb ) and (William Tom ). His family were prosperous and well-connected in business and political circles. Webb attended Newington College, as had his father, and commenced in 1899.〔Newington College Register of Past Students 1863–1998 (Syd, 1999) pp210〕 In 1902, his final year at Newington, he was appointed as the Senior Prefect. The following year Webb went up to the University of Sydney and read in the faculty of arts. He had planned to become a lawyer, but during his second year of university "he felt the call to preach". He graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in 1906.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher =University of Sydney )〕 Webb chose service to the church over a career as a lawyer and became a graduate student at the Wesleyan Theological Institution which was then still based in the grounds of his Alma Mater, Newington College.〔
