The Protestant Truth Society (PTS) is a Protestant religious organisation based in London, United Kingdom.
History of the organization
[edit]It was founded by John Kensit in 1889, to protest against the influence of Roman Catholicism within the Church of England and the nation.[1]
In 1898 it sent out the first band of "Wickliffe Preachers" to spread the message. To train the "Wickliffe Preachers", it established the Kensit Memorial Bible College in Finchley in 1905; this opened in 1908.[2][3] The buildings which replaced the original building in Finchley are now occupied by the London (Theological) Seminary.
Contemporary activities
[edit]The PTS is still active and is based in Fleet Street, London. It stores the weapon used in the killing of John Kensit, previously owned by F. E. Smith.[1] It has organised protests against Catholic services at Hampton Court Palace.[4] A bookstore in Fleet Street is a particular ministry maintained by the Society.
Officers
[edit]The current chairman of PTS is the Reverend Dominic Stockford, Pastor of Christ Church, Teddington. The Society's current vice-chairman is Rev Edward Malcolm, pastor at St Mary's Church, Castle Street, Reading.
Past members
[edit]One noted member of PTS was the Rev Robert Anderson Jardine, who, in 1937, conducted the wedding of the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Warfield. As a result of this, Jardine was subsequently prevented from returning to his parish duties at Darlington, England. [5] and defended by PTS.[6]
