Excerpt from A Review of a Pastoral Address: Containing a Reply to Some of His Charges Against the American Protestant Mission to the Hawaiian Islands
IT is an old saying that no animosities are more bitter than those which arise from religion. I was forcibly reminded of this truth on reading a pamphlet entitled A Pastoral Address; by the Right Reverend the Bishop of Honolulu, etc. In view of the high and responsible posi tion which its author occupies in a Christian Church, one might well be surprised at the bitter and partisan character of this document. The self-complacent and uncharitable manner in which he speaks of other denominations of Christians, the too evident eagerness with which he catches at any statement to the discredit of the American Protestant Mission, and the sneers and inuendoes in which he indulges, but ill accord with the great law of charity to which he so often ap peals.
As none of the persons assailed have as yet thought fit to notice this attack, I propose to re view a few of his statements, and for what is here said the writer alone is responsible.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This historic book reviews a pastoral address made by the Bishop of Honolulu in 1863. The Bishop's address took aim at the American Protestant Mission to the Hawaiian Islands, and the author of this book seeks to refute those charges. The author provides a detailed and thorough examination of the Bishop's claims and provides historical context to the Bishop's position within the broader context of the history of Christian denominations in Hawaii. The main themes and ideas discussed in this book are the differences between Protestant and Catholic views of Christianity, with specific attention paid to the theory that apostolic succession is essential for the existence of a true church. The author concludes that the Bishop's address was deeply flawed by prejudice and a sectarian viewpoint, and argues that the American Protestant Mission was a positive force in the Hawaiian Islands.
