A Historical Perspective on Evangelicalism in Sydney

In the second half of the 20th century, one man dominated gospel advocacy in Sydney. John Chapman. 

John Chapman was director of Evangelism for the Sydney Anglican Church, and played a significant role in shaping attitudes to preaching, evangelism and a series of controversies. 

Baden Stace, the senior minister of St Stephen’s Normanhurst, has recently published a work showcasing the impact of John Chapman, but it also gives a window into issues evangelicals in Sydney face in the later part of the 20th century. He covers topics such as the controversies about preaching, the place of evangelism in church life, social justice, and what role each of us plays in the evangelistic process.
