Talk:Clapham Sect

Untitled
Am I right in saying that the Clapham sect did a lot more than just help to bring about the abolition of slavery, which seems to be the (entirely commendable) content of this entry so far?

This article needs to be expanded!


 * indeed, they created a lot of societies. There is an impressive list in the book "William Wilberforce" by William Hague. --Amy8492 (talk) 09:19, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Religious sects of members
According to http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/museumcollections/collections/storydetail.php?irn=133 (usually reliable) Thomas Thompson (1754-1828) was a member of the sect, however he was a Weslyan Methodist, and the article appears to say that members were Anglicans.

Without getting involved in the fine details, if the Thomas Thompson bio/source is wrong please correct it or leave a message on the talk page.

Otherwise I will assume that Thompson was an exception. I assumed that Wesleyism is taken to be outside the church of England.Oranjblud (talk) 15:44, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Single source
This article needs additional secondary sources, instead of relying on a single source. Isaidnoway (talk)  17:41, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

21st Century Evangelical Claims to 18th and 19th social reform(ism)
To what extent do modern Evangelical thinkers claim social movements like this AS Evangelical? I suggest a set of paragraphs (or more) on who now claims the (once-termed) 'Claphamites' as their intellectual forebears. MaynardClark (talk) 00:24, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
