The Church Quarterly Review (now abbreviated CQR) was an English journal published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. It existed independently from 1875 until 1968; in that year it merged with the London Quarterly and Holborn Review, a Methodist journal and became known as The Church Quarterly, which was published until 1971.
History[edit]
It was first published privately in 1875, at the instigation of Richard William Church, then Dean of St Paul's Cathedral, and focused on Church of England and theology issues from a high church perspective. Its original mission statement was "to be worthily representative of the teaching and position of the Church of England",[1] and it advertised itself as "the recognised organ of orthodox opinion for the Church of England".[2] The first issue was published in October 1875, and the first article ("Italy and her Church") was written by William Ewart Gladstone.[1]
In 1920, the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge took over the journal, and ended its longstanding policy of publishing mainly anonymous contributions[3] as well as its high church associations; in 1921, longtime editor A. C. Headlam gave up his position.[1]
Between 1952 & 1852, the review was owned and published by Paul Shuffrey. Shuffrey was a notable colonial administrator and the son of architect Leonard Shuffrey. Shuffrey edited the Review from his flat on New Cavendish Street, above his father's former showroom.[4] The 1955 edition went to print soon after Shuffrey's death,and was dedicated to its late editor.[5]
In 1968, the journal merged with the London Quarterly and Holborn Review, a Methodist journal (merged from two Victorian journals). The result of this merger was The Church Quarterly, which ceased publication in 1971.[1]
