Forward Movement is the name taken by a number of Christian Protestant movements in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and other countries. The term "Forward Movement" is said to have been used for the first time in the mid-1880s, at an informal gathering, by Mrs Maria McArthur, the wife of Alexander McArthur, an Irish-born Methodist businessman and politician who at the time lived in Brixton, London. The expression was quickly adopted more widely, with the encouragement of the Methodist leader, William Fiddian Moulton, and in 1891 a Welsh minister, John Pugh, and his friend Seth Joshua took the initiative in Wales by erecting a tent in Splott, Cardiff, as a way of starting a new Calvinistic Methodist church. It was acknowledged, however, that the origins of the movement went back as far as the 1870s. It was also closely associated with the "Holiness movement" and the work of American evangelical leader Robert Pearsall Smith. More information...
