The Evangelical Movement of Wales, born in the 1940s,〔(Article in Evangelical Times reviewing the first fifty years of EMW )〕 came to light as a counter move by reformed Christians to the liberal theology which was gaining influence into the Protestant denominations of Wales during the 20th century. The Movement is a fellowship of churches and individuals who accept and recognise the Holy Scriptures, as originally given, as the infallible Word of God and of divine inspiration, and their sole authority in all matters of faith and practice. The Movement serves both English and Welsh speakers. Given this bilingual focus, where appropriate, parallel and corresponding status is given to both languages in their work. ==Aims== The Movement's stated aims are: *the promotion of a true and faithful witness to the fundamental truths of the Christian faith and to the essential spiritual unity of those who subscribe to it, *to bring others to a personal knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and to encourage such to live a godly life, *to foster evangelism, experiential religion and a concern for revival, *to provide means for uniting and co-ordinating the witness and fellowship of evangelical churches, fellowships and individual Christians, *the formation and supervision of evangelical fellowships, *the publication distribution and sale of English & Welsh literature consistent with the doctrinal belief of the Movement and to facilitate the same to open such shops and other outlets as may be necessary for these purposes, *to provide Christian workers who subscribe to the movement's doctrinal belief with advice and support, *to provide theological education and training for persons aspiring to Christian service within the evangelical constituency, *to co-operate with other bodies, at home and abroad, which subscribe to the movement's doctrinal beliefs in the furtherance of the foregoing aims and objects, and *to help Christians think and act biblically regarding the world in which they live. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evangelical Movement of Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
