Philip Henry Hacking (20 February 1931 – 3 December 2024) was an English Anglican priest, itinerant evangelical speaker, Bible teacher and occasional author.

Early life and career

Philip Hacking gained a BA degree in History at St Peter's College, University of Oxford, in 1953[2] (subsequently also an MA in 1957), and then trained for the Anglican ministry at Oak Hill Theological College, London.[2] He was ordained in 1955 and began a curacy in the Parish of St Helen in St Helens, near Liverpool.[2] This was followed by nine years as curate-in-charge and rector of St Thomas, Edinburgh (1959–1968).[2] In October 1968 Philip was appointed vicar of Christ Church, Fulwood, Sheffield.[2] He remained as vicar in this parish for 29 years before retiring from full-time ministry in 1997.[2] He still maintained connections with the church, preaching on occasions, and held a diocesan permission to officiate.[2]

In addition to his parish ministry, Philip became involved in different aspects of British and worldwide Christian work. He was chairman of the Keswick Convention from 1984 to 1993; was national chairman of Reform (a conservative evangelical group within the Church of England); was chairman of Word Alive (formerly a part of Spring Harvest) from 1993 to 2000; and for 12 years was chairman of SUM Fellowship (Sudan United Mission), now Pioneers UK. He has led many evangelistic missions and Bible convention events in the UK and overseas. He has written a number of books and his Bible teaching has been widely recorded on audio cassette, CD and DVD media formats.

En un artículo publicado en el periódico mensual Evangelicals Now, [ 3 ] escrito cuando se acercaba a la jubilación, Philip se describió a sí mismo como " un evangélico anglicano sin complejos , haciendo hincapié en el sustantivo ". Consideraba que el mayor privilegio de sus más de 40 años de ministerio había sido "haber sido pastor parroquial en St Helens, Edimburgo y Sheffield ", y añadía que " no hay mayor alegría que exponer la Palabra de Dios semana tras semana en la iglesia local y compartir en los hogares de la gente algo de sus alegrías y tristezas ".

En el servicio vespertino del domingo 29 de diciembre de 2013 en Christ Church Fulwood, Philip pronunció su último sermón anunciando que "daba por terminado el día de la predicación ". El sermón se basó en 1 Juan 4: 7-21 , "Dios es amor". [ 4 ]
