Excerpt from The Proposed Ecclesiastical Legislation: Three Letters to "the Times," (Reprinted by Request); With a Preface
I need hardly say that the following letters arose in no wish, that the. Present confusions in the Church of England should be prolonged. No one, I think, could wish it, who has at heart the well-being of the Church, or of souls in it. But the confusion itself is not the chief evil. The greatest evils, whether in the physical or moral system, are almost always those which least come to the surface. Consumption or paralysis often give little threatening, until they are incurable.
The evils most to be apprehended from the conti nuance of the-present state of things, I think, are 1. The silent dislocation of the different orders of the Clergy; 2. The preparation, not for a disestablishment of the Church only, but for its disintegration, when disestablished.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relations between Church, State, and people in Victorian England, as exemplified in the widespread use of High Church ritual. The author argues that the two parties' failure to understand each other's motivations led to the ritual controversy of the period, a bitter struggle in which both sides accused the other of breaking the law. The book offers a sympathetic portrayal of the High Church clergy, who believed their ritual practices were in accordance with the Church of England's tradition, and were dismayed when their opponents successfully prosecuted them in court. The author explores the social and political background to the controversy, arguing that it reflected wider tensions within Victorian society. The book concludes by reflecting on the implications of the ritual controversy for our understanding of the relationship between religion and the state in modern Britain. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
