For almostyears, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London. LloydJones was strongly opposed to Liberal Christianity, which had become a part of many Christian denominations he regarded it as aberrant. He disagreed with the broad church approach and encouraged evangelical Christians to leave their existing denominations. He believed that true Christian fellowship was possible only amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the nature of the faith.
