Conservative evangelicalism in the United Kingdom

Conservative evangelicalism is a term used in the United Kingdom to describe a theological movement found within evangelical Protestantism. Sometimes, the term is simply synonymous with evangelical within the United Kingdom. The term is used more often in the first sense,[1] but conservative evangelicals themselves tend to use it in the second.[2] Conservative evangelicals are sometimes called fundamentalists,[3][4][5] but typically reject that label and are keen to maintain their distinct identity, which is more Reformed.[6] Reformed fundamentalism shares many of the characteristics of conservative evangelicalism. In this sense, conservative evangelicalism can be thought of as distinct from liberal evangelicalism, open evangelicalism, and charismatic evangelicalism.[7] Some conservative evangelical groups oppose women ministers or women preachers in mixed congregations.
