Beyond Fundamentalist Dispensationalism
DANIEL JUSTER
In January 1842 an amazing event occurred with the arrival of a Jewish Anglican Priest( and follower of Yeshua), who was appointed to serve as the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem. He established Christ Church near the Jaffa gate in Jerusalem. The Church was to receive Jews who, it was believed, would soon return to the Land, and accept Jesus, leading to the eventual conversion of the Jewish nation to faith in Yeshua / Jesus and His return. Christ Church, Jaffa Gate, still exists to this day.
In 1841, both the British and Prussian Governments as well as the Church of England and the Evangelical Church in Prussia entered into a unique agreement to- establishment of a Protestant Bishopric within Jerusalem. Michael Solomon Alexander was proposed as the first Protestant Bishop. He was appointed Bishop of the United Church of England and Ireland in Jerusalem and was likewise ordained as a Bishop on the 7th of December 1841 at Lambeth Palace. He thereafter arrived in Jerusalem in January of 1842.
