Church Times Archive Complete: 1863 - Present
The Church Times is one of Britain's oldest newspapers, still thriving after 150 years. It was born out of the Oxford Movement in 1863, when priests could be arrested for lighting candles on an altar of the Established Church. It was an opinionated, High Church scrapper, and its 150-year archive offers a different view of historical news events, such as the Lincoln assassination (he shouldn't have been in a theatre on Good Friday), Suffragettes (against), conscientious objectors ("poltroons") and women priests (you guessed it).
Never hesitating to go against the flow, the paper was a fearless defender of the spiritual independence of the Church of England in spite its Established status. Since the mid-1950s, its sympathies have broadened, embracing diversity in the worldwide Anglican Communion, and looking more favourably on other denominations.
Now part of the Hymns Ancient and Modern group, it remains fiercely independent, scrutinising the actions of the hierarchy besides covering work in the parishes, the General Synod, the Lambeth Conference, and the state of the world in general today - and still not always in the expected way.
