Career

I

 

should not expect you to reckon the late Queen Victoria amongst the ide­al­ists, the vi­sion­ar­ies, the in­spired fa­nat­ics of our race. But in the Life of Archbishop Benson, a strange and deep thing is recorded of her.

     'As I get older,' she said, 'I can­not under­stand this world. I can­not com­pre­hend its little­ness. When I look at the fri­vol­i­ties and lit­tle­ness­es [of people], it seems to me as if they were all a little mad.'

– Rev. Charles F. Aked (1907), from a ser­mon, quot­ing some­thing that Queen Victoria, on May 11, 1883, said to Archbishop Benson. Her comment was published in an 1899 biography, The Life of Ed­ward White Ben­son. The Queen was re­flect­ing on the mad rush of the world, and the ease with which so many people of her day ignored the higher re­spon­si­bil­i­ties, and robbed them­selves the rich­er joys of life.

Aked worked for racial equality, women's suffrage, temperance, Christian unity, and world peace. Minister in Liverpool (1890 to 1907), he gained a reputation as an advocate for social justice. He worked for Christian unity in Britain alongside F. B. Meyer (1847–1929) and John Clifford (1836–1923). He went to New York City to serve as pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church (1907–1911). Aken was an exponent of women's suffrage and was a friend of Ethel Snowden. Beginning around 1894, Aken became outspoken against racial injustices, notably lynching in the United States, and by 1895, became a supporter of and friends with Ida B. Wells. Liberal theologically, he worked for the relief of Syrians (see Great Syrian Revolt and Assyrian genocide) and Armenians (see Armenian Genocide) after World War I and with Walter Rauschenbusch (1861–1918), condemned the arms trade.

Aked emerged around 1908 as an avowed foe of what is commonly known as fundamentalism in religion and rejected the miraculous in religion (see Argument from miracles § Criticisms) – he averred that the ethics of Christianity should furnish sufficient inspiration for noble, useful, and happy living.

Main article: Theistic evolution

Towards the end the of Great Depression, Aked took a right-wing political stand against the re-election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, declaring that a third term (see 1940 United States presidential election) would lead to the end of democracy and establish a dictatorship in America.

T

 here was a time when church peo­ple held up their hands in holy hor­ror at the thought of be­liev­ing any of the teach­ings of ev­o­lu­tion. But this ev­o­lu­tion­ary phi­los­o­phy has been a tre­men­dous ben­e­fit to Chris­tians. It is time that we gave up the things that our fa­thers be­lieved.

– Rev. Charles F. Aked (1908)

R

 eligion in America caters to emo­tion­al­ism. The Fun­da­men­tal­ists are mak­ing great head­way. They preach all the things they should not preach ... They ap­pear to ac­cept be­liefs which are pos­i­tive­ly me­di­ae­val ... but they have the funds so they do prac­ti­cal­ly what they like.

– Rev. Charles F. Aked (Liverpool, 1935)

Education

Charles Aked was born in Nottingam, England, where he grew up and attended:

• Mr. J. Lee's Commercial School, a small school in Nottingham
• Midland Baptist College
• University College Nottingham
• later, earned a D.D. degree

• link

John Clifford, a Free Church contemporary of Aked, in 1883 he was given the honorary degree of DD by Bates College, United States, being known thereafter as Dr Clifford. The distinction, from a small American college, afterwards led to sarcastic allusions, but Clifford had not courted it. Moreover, Clifford has been chronicled as a bona fide liturgical scholar from his achievements at the University of London. In England, Henry Ward Beecher (1813–1887) and Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) rejected being called "doctor", but accepted the title "reverend". By 1907, three honorary Doctor of Divinity degrees had been conferred upon Aken. But, at the beginning of his pastorship with the Rockefeller Baptist Church, he dispensed not only with the title "D.D.", but also "Reverend."

Wilshire Boulevard Congregational Church (currently, the Wilshire United Methodist Church) on Wilshire Boulevard at South Plymouth Street (4350 Wilshire Boulevard), Los Angeles.

In 1922, the architect, Carleton M. Winslow, Sr., produced a $500,000 scheme for this church that was rejected in favor of a plan by Allison and Allison. The Wilshire Congregational congregation underwent a great amount of turmoil in the 1920s, removing its outspoken pastor, Dr. Frank Dyer (1875–1963) around 1929. A Los Angeles Examiner newspaper article of February 22, 1926, scandalously indicated that the reverend was playing jazz in the church.

In an Los Angeles Times article of July 27, 1925, the pastor was accused of being a supporter of the American Civil Liberties Union, considered by many during the Red Scare of the 1920s to have been a communist front organization. Dyer, a frequent radio address in the 1920s, urged for greater inter-denominational tolerance and understanding. He brought in a liberal colleague, Dr. Charles F. Aked, to act as co-pastor in October 1924, but this cooperation ended in mid-1925 when Aked resigned. The Los Angeles Times, July 27, 1925, published a lengthy list of those with grievances against Dyer, and this included the architects, Allison and Allison. The 550-member congregation itself merged with Aked's nearby All Soul's Congregational Church in May 1929, and the new All Soul's Congregational Church used this building for a very short time before putting it up for sale. This costly building became the Wilshire Methodist Church shortly after it was constructed.

Unbuilt. The building had its ceremonial cornerstone-laying, December 22, 1924, and its completion was set before June 1, 1925. The church was to be in the "Italian Gothic" style and would seat 1400, according to a Los Angeles Times article of December 22, 1924. The tower soared 144 feet above the church overlooking Wilshire Boulevard, and could be seen from five miles away.

Boer women and children in a British concentration camp in South Africa (1900–1902)

Main article: 1901 in South Africa

December 22, 1901, Peace Sunday, Aked, stated: "Great Britain cannot win the battles without resorting to the last despicable cowardice of the most loathsome cur on earth – the act of striking a brave man's heart through his wife's honour and his child's life. The cowardly war has been conducted by methods of barbarism ... the concentration camps have been Murder Camps." He is followed home by a large crowd and they smash the windows of his house.

• Peace Sunday was observed on the third Sunday of December by all peace societies, including the department of peace and arbitration of the world's W.C.T.U.
