'There were originally two Pentecostal organizations which eventually formed the
present Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada In 1919, eastern Canadian Pentecostals
applied for and received a dominion charter under the Pentecostal Assemblies of
Canada Western Canadian Pentecostals, who had closer ties with the Assemblies of
God, organized into the Western Canada District Council of the Assemblies of God
m 1919 as well In 1920, the PAOC affiliated with the Assemblies of God as the
Eastern Canadian District Council of the Assemblies of God, which brought eastern
and western Canadian Pentecostals into cooperation with the Assemblies of God
Using the dominion charter of the PAOC, the eastern and western Canadian confer-
ences united, and later, due to national considerations and policy differences, the
PAOC severed its union with the Assemblies of God However, a friendly affiliation
has since remained Gordon F Atter, The Third Force (Caledonia, Canada Acts

used his Wycliffe education as the model for Western Bible College He patterned his
teaching after James Ρ Sheraton's lectures, though he remarked, "I didn't have any of

The Influence of Dr J E Purdie's Reformed Anglican Theology 5
Sheraton was also "a wonderful man of God."10 While Purdie did not
specifically speak of Hague in his writings, Purdie's understanding of
Scripture as the Word of God paralleled Hague's. The comparison
between Purdie and his professors will be accomplished by examining
three theological areas: within thefieldof the doctrine of Scripture, the
issues of biblical authority, revelation, and inspiration will be examined
as they related to the emerging discipline of higher criticism; within the
field of soteriology, the areas of atonement, sanctification, and perfec
tion will be explored; and in relation to the doctrine of the Holy Spirit,
Purdie's understanding of the Pentecostal blessing, an understanding
which he attempted to synthesize with his Anglican heritage, will be
analyzed. Following this analysis, some suggestions will be offered
regarding the implications of the dissemination of Purdie's Anglican
theology for Canadian Pentecostalism.

evangelicalism has been difficult to define Donald Dayton argued that the term
"evangelicalism" has become convoluted and meaningless Sixteenth-century
Reformational theology, eighteenth-century pietism, and twentieth-century funda
mentalism have all formed subsets of evangelicalism, but were all isolated and unre
lated See Donald W Dayton, "Some Doubts about the Usefulness of the Category
'Evangelical'," m The Variety of American Evangelicalism, ed Donald W Dayton
and Robert K, Johnston (Downers Grove, IL InterVarsity Press, 1991), 245
However, David Bebbmgton offered a helpful working definition of evangelicalism
as those groups of Christians who emphasize conversion, activism, biblicism, and
crucicentrism (focus on the cross) D W Bebbmgton, Evangelicalism in Modern
Britain A History from the 1730s to the 1980s (London, England Unwin Hyman,

The Influence of Dr. J. E. Purdie's Reformed Anglican Theology 7
The critical spirit has too frequently degenerated into a sceptical spirit.
Critical methods have to a large extent been dominated by a philosophy of
history which seeks to eliminate the supernatural. Hence the motive that has
impelled many students of our Lord's life has been their hope and endeavor
to account for Christ on the basis of natural development without any super-
natural intervention, to find the secret of His power in the conditions of His
earthly life and to explain His person and His works in the terms of the laws
of psychological and historical evolution.16

Jesus Christ and that Scripture was the apostolic record of that revela-
tion. Though following Hague in doctrine, Purdie's statement that
Scripture did not contain the Word of God but was the very Word of
God was a sentiment possibly intended to safeguard Pentecostals from
the subjectivistic assumptions in higher criticism. Higher critics
assumed that biblical authorship was rooted in the subjective religious
experiences of the writers and excluded divine inspiration. Possibly,
Purdie wanted to highlight the objective nature of biblical inspiration
to counteract the highly subjective nature of Pentecostal experience.
The danger was, presumably, that the subjective experiences of
Pentecostals combined with the subjective assumptions in higher criti-
cism could have led to an overemphasis on experience in
Pentecostalism As articulated, however, Purdie's position made the
mistake of confusing the revelation of Jesus Christ and the church's
records of that revelation, but it was a position which followed in the
footsteps of his theological mentor, Dyson Hague.

Thus it would seem that Sheraton did not accept the Wesleyan claim of
a second blessing of perfection, nor was he willing to accept the more
Reformed elements of Oberlin perfectionism. However, Sheraton
seemed to argue for a view similar to that of Keswick holiness teach
ing Not only did Wycliffe look to England for much of its theology,
but Sheraton referred approvingly to Bishop Handley Moule, a
Keswick holiness leader.39
The life of holiness was an emphasis at Wycliffe College. The
Evangelical Churchman, the official magazine for evangelical,
Reformed-minded Anglicans in the Toronto Diocese, reported that
Those who were not living the full consecrated life of faith, can never real
ize the depths of meaning of the promises of God and the principles of the
Christian to appropriate them The reason there are so few holy Christians
is that there are few who have joyously renounced allegiance to the world
and have come out faithfully and fully for Jesus 4 0

Other than the language he used, there was little to tie Sheraton
directly to Keswick thinking. However, other Wycliffe College pro-
fessors had connections to the Keswick holiness movement Thomas
R. O'Meara, who attended Purdie's ordination as deacon in 1906, was
an administrator at Wycliffe from 1888, and successor to Sheraton as
principal in 1906. O'Meara was "well known as a preacher in the pul-
pit or as a speaker on the platform, as at Keswick, Northfield and other
evangelical centres."44 O'Meara's association with Sheraton likely
influenced some of Sheraton's thinking. Furthermore, while O'Meara
was principal, he brought W. H. Griffith Thomas from England to teach
at Wycliffe This appointment was significant because Thomas was a

commented in the same report that "In this state of consecration the baptism of the
Holy Ghost has become possible" (quoted in Smith, Record of the Convention, 443)
Furthermore, Hubert Brooke stated that in the early years of the Keswick
Conventions, there was "not only a release and deliverance from the penalty and
future punishment of sin, but that there is also in Him an ever present power to keep
from the recurring attacks of those sins " For Brooke, "they were the negative and
positive of the message cleansing and consecration, deliverance and dedication "

Convention Its Message, Its Method and Its Men, ed Charles F Harford (London,

Theodore Monod was typical of Keswick thinking when he said, "and above all,
having put away everything in our lives which grieved the indwelling Spirit, to await
and to receive a fresh and fuller anointing of the Holy Ghost" (quoted in Smith,
Record of the Convention, 66) Or Mr Christopher who claimed "Some have already
received great power from above Some have the Holy Spirit dwelling m them and
filling them with His blessed fruit" (quoted in Smith, Record of the Convention, 89)

Throughout his M A thesis, James Craig argued that Purdie adopted a holiness
position of sanctification from the Wesleyan holiness movement, but he seemed to
have confused Wesleyan holiness with Keswick holiness Craig, "Early Anglican
Pentecostal," 83ff Possibly, this confusion was partly due to his reliance on the
works of Thomas Miller, who saw Canadian Pentecostal ism as the natural extension
of Wesleyan holiness Thomas W Miller, "The Significance of A H Argue for
Pentecostal Historiography," PNEUMA, The Journal of the Society for Pentecostal
Studies 8 (fall 1986) 120-158 For a less scholarly work see Thomas William Miller,
Canadian Pentecostals A History of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, ed
William A Griffin (Mississauga, Ontario Full Gospel Publishing House, 1994)
Craig also relied heavily on the work of Ronald Sawatski, but Sawatski made too
sharp a distinction between evangelicalism and fundamentalism when he defined fun-
damentalism as evangelicalism to which a premillennialist theology was added
Ronald George Sawatski, "'Looking for that Blessed Hope' The Roots of
Fundamentalism m Canada, 1878-1914," (Ph D diss , Toronto, Canada University
of Toronto, 1985), 10-11 There was a general emphasis upon holiness at Wycliffe
College, a holiness typical in evangelical circles, but Wycliffe was characteristic
more of Keswick holiness than Wesleyan
The Influence of Dr J E Purdie's Reformed Anglican Theology 15
For Purdie, the power and authority of the cross accepted in faith sep-
arated the believer from the power and authority of sin.54 Yet Purdie
interpreted sanctification in a typically Pentecostal way. Because the
Pentecostal had been filled with the Spirit, there was a greater victory
over the power of sin:
It would seem evident that Spirit-filled believers, more than others, should
be able to readily enter into this spiritual provision and thus possess the pos-
sessions of Christ (I Cor 1 30) The fact and personal power of this truth
make it the most important truth in the New Testament from the standpoint
of a real victorious overcoming daily life 55
So while Purdie claimed the general need for holiness in the Christian
life, he rejected the Wesleyan understanding of a second blessing of
perfection and adhered to the Keswick understanding of the daily need

"Baptism of the Holy Spirit" was certainly a term commonly used by Reformed
Pentecostals, but it stemmed from the theological question in Wesleyan holiness cir-
cles of what was the second blessing. See Donald Dayton, Theological Roots of

0n May 22, 1923, Purdie preached a sermon in which he argued that there was
no scriptural reason to reject infant baptism and that there was no definite mode of
baptism. J .E. Purdie, "Confirmation Lecture, Infant Baptism," Sermon, 22 May
1923, TMs [photocopy], James Eustace Purdie Papers, PAOC Archives, Mississauga,
Canada. Note, however, that this sermon was preached after he received the
Pentecostal blessing, while he was rector of an Anglican parish, but before he start-
ed teaching at the Bible College.

position and saw the bestowal of the Spirit occurring concurrently with
salvation, specifically in the moment of conversion rather than in infant
baptism.63 He also adopted a position which saw the necessity of
repentance before water baptism was to be administered64 So Purdie
moved from his Anglican roots in adopting an understanding of con-
version as the initial entrance into the Christian faith, but he did not
move from the belief that there was only one baptism and that at the
moment of conversion there was a measure of the Spirit present with
the reception of Jesus Christ.
Since Purdie believed that there was only one baptism, using the
term "infilling" allowed him to speak of the Spirit in the life of the
believer commencing with speaking in tongues without referring to
multiple baptisms and without adopting a doctrine of subsequent acts
of grace. While Purdie emphasized the finished work of Christ
throughout his writings, suggesting that he may have been familiar and
in agreement with William H. Durham's "finished work" doctrine65 that
sanctification was objectively completed on the cross, Purdie and
Durham had differences in their understandings of the Pentecostal
blessing
Durham rejected the belief that sanctification was a second act of
grace, a position commonly accepted in Pentecostal holiness and
Wesleyan holiness circles. He concluded that there was "not even one
Scripture that teaches that sanctification is a second work of grace."66
Moreover, Durham refused to see the reception of the Holy Spirit, an
event he willingly called the baptism of the Holy Spirit, as a second act
of grace. Reception of the Holy Spirit was a "definite experience"
which was "accompanied by the speaking in other tongues as the Spirit
gives utterance," but Durham identified the baptism of the Holy Spirit
63
Purdie used the term "conversion," rather than "confirmation," to describe his
own salvation See J E Purdie, "My Own Pentecost," Pentecostal Testimony, June
1970, 4, and J E Purdie, "Principal of the Western Pentecostal Bible College for
Thirteen Years," May 1938, 17, James Eustace Purdie Papers, PAOC Archives,
Mississauga, Canada
64
In Concerning the Faith, Purdie stated that "Repentance, whereby they forsake
sin, and faith, whereby they steadfastly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as their per-
sonal Saviour" was "required of persons to be Baptized " Purdie, Concerning the
Faith, 71

Conclusion
73
Some Canadian Pentecostals were critical of having Purdie, an educated
Anglican with a Reformed background, who they believed taught eternal security, as
principal of the Bible College. Purdie, interview, 94.

There might have been tensions between Purdie and A. E. McAlister over the
administration of the Bible school. Although McAlister spoke of the school with
quiet reserve while it was located in Winnipeg, he spoke of it with enthusiasm once
it moved to Toronto. This tension may have been due to regional differences between
eastern and western Canada. Ross, "Emergence," 79-80. However, the tension might
have also stemmed from the theological differences between Purdie, who had a
Reformed perspective, and McAlister, who was Wesleyan in orientation. James
Craig, telephone conversation with author, 18 January 1996.
76
Ross, "Emergence," 77. Ross suggested that the decision to move the school
from Winnipeg to Toronto was not unanimous, though there was no official record of
dissension. He made this assertion because Buntain did not relocate to Toronto and
ended up opening a new school in Winnipeg (Ross, "Emergence," 73-84).
Furthermore, while Purdie was relocated to Toronto his family was not, suggesting
that for Purdie the move may have been temporary from the start. Craig, "Early

Anglican Pentecostal," 43 Thus Ross argued that "An inexplicable factor in the
entire episode [was] that Purdie was not the primary force behind the decision of pol
icy For the first time since 1925, the movement's superiors stepped in to direct this
episode in the College's history Purdie, recognizing the secondary nature of his role,
apparently was content to abide by their decision" (Ross, "Emergence," 77 η 2)
Purdie was not content, however, because he pursued the possibility of returning to
Anglican ministry (Craig, "Early Anglican Pentecostal," 42-44)
Purdie included the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed
in the appendix of Concerning the Faith, 92-93
