From a rare interview with Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (see 5:45–7:18):

Question [at 6:07 in the video]: Are you a fundamentalist?
Lloyd-Jones’s answer: Like many others I don’t like the term. I prefer to call myself a conservative evangelical. That is very largely because of the abuse of the term, I think, in the United States. But I am a conservative evangelical . . . .
Ha! I love the British sensibility:”Well . . . it’s . . . one doesn’t want to be offensive . . .”
I work for a major national bank in the Twin Cities. Out in the ‘real world’ … away from seminarians & pastors, the term ‘fundamentalist’ has virtually universal negative connotations (think ‘Islamic fundamentalists’). That is my # 1 reason for not using the term.
Secondly, the rabid, so-called militant fundamentalists have largely disavowed me. I’m ok with that.
Do we know what year this was recorded?
1970 (mentioned at 1:48 of the interview above)
Wow, didn’t even know there are video clips of Martin Loyd Jones!
Unfortunately the video is not available anymore?!
