What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear:
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer.
Evangelical spirituality, with roots in the revivals of the eighteenth century, is not confined to a church or denomination. Its overriding theme, as reflected in the hymn cited above, is the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus. Yet this personal experience has had broad implications for service and action in the world.
Ian Randall teaches at Spurgeon’s College, London. His books include One Body in Christ: The History and Significance of the Evangelical Alliance.
