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. The term is used more often in this sense (as one strand of evangelicalism),^[1] but conservative evangelicals themselves tend to use it interchangeably and synonymously with evangelical.^[2] Conservative evangelicals are sometimes called fundamentalists,^[3][4][5] but they 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 the ordination of women as ministers or clergy and/or women holding leadership positions.
