About Modern ChurchPreviously called The Modern Churchpeople’s Union, Modern Church was founded at the end of the nineteenth century to defend an open, enquiring approach to religious faith against the fundamentalist movements in both evangelical and catholic wings of western Christianity.At the time the sciences and biblical scholarship were advancing rapidly. While some believers felt threatened and took refuge in reason-defying dogmas, Modern Church argued that Christians have nothing to fear from new discoveries.They began as a society within the Church of England but now have members and subscribers across the English-speaking world representing many denominations.
