簡介

大英浸信會
除去他教牧工作,及其在神學、護教方面的成績,福樂還與大英浸信會宣教會的創建息息相關。作為創始者之一,福樂擔任差會之首任理事,並於1784年起,致力於傳揚福音宣教事工,其中包括:宣傳異文化宣教之必要和緊迫,為差會募款,聯絡在印度的威廉·克理,為宣教事工辯護,招募宣教士等等。在其一篇題為《[http://baptisthistoryhomepage.com/fuller.sermon.walkg.faith.html 憑信而行的本性與重要性] 》(The Nature and Importance of Walking by Faith)的講道中(講於諾丁漢郡浸信會協會,1784年6月2日),福樂特別附錄一篇〈為教會復興而禱告之普遍協作的多重勸說〉(A Few Persuasives to a General Union in Prayer for the Revival of Religion)以間接鼓動當代宣教運動。大英浸信會,全名為「Particular Baptist Society for Propagating the Gospel among the Heathen」,是一群在神學上持喀爾文主義,相信基督之是特定、限定救恩的浸信會牧師、信徒於1792年在一次禱告會中組成的。受福樂的《值得全人類接受的福音》(The Gospel Worthy of All Acceptation)影響,威廉·克理成為差會的第一位宣教士。福樂則為差會在大英本土的工作奔勞:

  • The Gospel worthy of all acceptation, or the Obligations of Men fully to credit and cordially to approve whatever God makes known.
  • The Calvinistic and Socinian Systems examined and compared as to their Moral Tendency, 1794, 1796, 1802.
  • The Gospel its own Witness, or the Holy Nature and Divine Harmony of the Christian Religion contrasted with the Immorality and Absurdity of Deism, 1799–1800.
  • An Apology for the late Christian Missions to India.
