See also:MACKENNAL, See also:ALEXANDER (1835—1904) , See also:English See also:Nonconformist divine, was See also:born at See also:Truro in See also:Cornwall, on the 14th of See also:January 1835, the son of See also:Patrick Mackennal, a See also:Scot, who had settled in Cornwall. In 1848 the See also:family removed to See also:London, and at sixteen he went to See also:Glasgow University. In 1854 he entered See also:Hackney See also:College to prepare for the Congregational See also:ministry, and in 1857 he graduated B.A. at London University. After holding pastorates at See also:Burton-on-See also:Trent (1856-1861), See also:Surbiton (1862-1870), See also:Leicester (1870-1876), he finally accepted the pastorate of the Congregational See also:- CHURCH

Church at Bowdon, See also:Cheshire, in 1877, in which he remained till his See also:death. In 1886 he was chairman of the Congregational See also:Union, which he represented in 1889 at the triannual See also:national See also:council of the See also:American Congregational churches. The first See also:international council of Congregationalists held in London in 1891 was partly cause, partly consequence, of his visit, and Mackennal acted as secretary. In 1892 he became definitely associated in the public mind with a See also:movement for See also:free church federation which See also:grew out of a See also:series of meetings held to discuss the question of See also:home See also:reunion. When the See also:Lambeth articles put forward as a basis of union were discussed, it was evident that all the free churches were agreed in accepting the three articles dealing with the See also:Bible, the Creed and the Sacraments as a basis of discussion, and were also agreed in rejecting the See also:fourth See also:article, which put the historic episcopate on the same level as the other three. Omitting the Anglicans, the representatives of the remaining churches resolved to develop See also:Christian fellowship by See also:united See also:action and See also:worship wherever possible. Out of this grew the Free Church Federation, which secures a measure of co-operation between the See also:Protestant Evangelical churches throughout See also:England. Mackennal's public action brought him into association with many well-known See also:political and religious leaders. He was a lifelong See also:advocate of international See also:peace, and made a remarkable See also:declaration as to the Christian See also:standard of national action when the Free Church Federation met at See also:Leeds during the See also:South See also:African See also:War in 19oo.
Besides a See also:volume of sermons under the See also:title See also:Christ's Healing See also:Touch, Mackennal published The Biblical See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
Scheme of Nature and of See also:Man, The Christian Testimony, the Letters to the Seven Churches of See also:Asia, The See also:Kingdom of the See also:Lord Jesus and The Eternal See also:God and the Human Sonship. These are contributions to exegetical study or to theological and progressive religious thought, and have elements of permanent value. He also made some useful contributions to religious See also:history. In 1893 he published the See also:Story of the English Separatists, and later the Homes and Haunts of the See also:Pilgrim Fathers; he also wrote the See also:life of Dr J. A. Macfadyen of See also:Manchester. In 19o1 he delivered a series of lectures at See also:Hartford Theological See also:Seminary, See also:Connecticut, U.S.A., published under the title The See also:Evolution of See also:Congregationalism. He died at See also:Highgate on the 23rd of See also:June 1904.
