Summary
No account of Evangelical Anglicans would be complete without reference to a man who left his imprint on the Anglican Communion through his work as an Englishman abroad and his name was Howard Mowll, Archbishop of Sydney and Primate of Australia. He was a man of massive proportions and commanding presence, as a young man president of the Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union, appointed Assistant Bishop of Western China at the age of thirty-two, Bishop of Western China at thirty-six and Archbishop of Sydney at forty-four. From his early days at Cambridge, he was always in great demand and he had the largeness of heart to match his frame. His fellow Australian bishops elected him as their Primate in 1957 when he was fifty-eight. Those were days when the diocese of Sydney had a habit, happily now overcome, of inviting to senior evangelical episcopal positions, Englishmen rather than Australians.
Rather more than either Bishop Chavasse of Liverpool or Bishop Knox of Manchester, both strong Evangelicals themselves, Howard Mowll commanded world-wide esteem among Anglicans and, of course, among Evangelicals:
There have been few who have spent so little of their working lives in England, yet have exercised so much influence on the Evangelical movement and on individual people at home. He so lived that he is greatly missed by people in all kinds of situations, both public and unsuspected.
