Speaker: Dr Colin Bale
2025 Library Day Lectures – Lecture 6
Dr Colin Bale traces the theological vision and administrative genius of Henry Venn, the strategist behind the Church Missionary Society’s global expansion. Exploring his vision for self-governing, self-supporting churches, Dr Bale shows how Venn’s leadership linked the Clapham Sect’s evangelical ideals with a lasting missional legacy that shaped the Anglican Church worldwide.
