Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the critical role of Cathedrals within the Church of England, arguing that they are essential for fostering devotion and learning. The author contends that Cathedrals serve a distinct purpose from parish churches, providing a sanctuary for worship, study, and contemplation. Amidst the pressures of modern life, the author emphasizes the need to preserve the contemplative and studious nature of Cathedrals. They offer a space for clergy to engage in deep theological exploration, which is vital for the intellectual and spiritual health of the Church. The author proposes a series of reforms to enhance the effectiveness of Cathedrals, including increasing the income of Canons to support their dignified roles, enforcing longer residencies, and establishing theological colleges in association with Cathedrals. By embracing these measures, the author believes that Cathedrals can continue to fulfill their historic function as pillars of the Church, promoting devotion, scholarship, and the preservation of sacred music.
