John, thanks very much for this link. It is just what I was looking for, but would not have the depth of history to compile.

Do you know if Evangelicals Now have published something like this in previous years?

For me, the anniversaries of the births of John Bradford (500), CT Studd (150), FF Bruce and Paul White (100) are of greatest interest, along with the centenary of the publication of the Fundamentals. (I notice Kel Richards did a talk on Paul White, the Jungle Doctor at the Australia Day Convention recently)

The deaths of Melanchthon & Zinzendorf 450 and 250 years ago, the publication of the Geneva Bible could also make interesting Minister’s letters for the weekly bulletin.

And the sacking of Rome 1600 years ago alerts me to a period of history I know little about. I know we did it at school, but not a lot is coming back to me!

Thanks again John.

Sandy,
Every year since 2000, by Joy Horn (you can search by author name on their site).
So look for it next year everyone! Some meaty anniversaries there.
I would like to add “the anniversary of The infamous Essays and Reviews, the manifesto of modern liberal Anglicanism, was published in February 1860, generating enormous controversy” to your list. It is not an anniversary we should celebrate, but I would like to see some commentary about the pitfalls of liberalism from time to time.

John, it would be an extra thing to make me think, as I know nothing about it. Maybe it would combine with something on the Fundamentals, which were responding in part to liberalism, if I understand correctly.
