Excerpt from Cross-Bench Views of Current Church Questions
The two lectures on Dissent in England were originally delivered in the Chapel of S. Mary's Hospital, Ilford. They were printed for private circulation among the members of the Chapel congregation and other personal friends, and have been so very kindly received that it seemed worth while to give them a wider publicity. I have to thank Mr. John Murray for his kindness in permitting me to reprint from the Quarterly Review an article on Bishop French; Mr. L. J. Maxse, for similar permission with respect to articles on The British Sunday, Foreign Missions, The Confessional in the English Church, and The Mivart Episode, which appeared in the National Review during the years 1897 - 1900; to Mr. Percy W. Bunting, for allowing me to include in this volume the article, Our unhappy Divisions, which appeared in the Contemporary Review in December 1901, and has been the subject of much comment and criticism.
The papers on Church Reform and The Chinese Puzzle of Missions, and the two Essays on The Influence of Critical Theory on the Interpretation and Authority of Holy Scripture and The History of the Pastoral Ideal in the English Church since the Reformation, have not been pre viously published. As an appendix to the last-named essay, I added the paper on Sermons, read to the Brighton Church Congress.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book considers how the roles of the clergy have evolved throughout the years, from the Reformation to the present day, across many Western institutions. The author acknowledges that some of the clerical roles considered to be important in the past, may no longer have a valuable or relevant place in the present day, and raises questions regarding the definition of âappropriateâ and âgoodâ behaviour within the clergy. The author also examines the concepts of celibacy, benefice and patronage in the church, and how these may have contributed to various issues, such as scandals and disappointments within the church. Overall, this book seeks to shed light on possible Church reforms and their implications for the roles of the ordained clergy, using past and present as a roadmap for the future.
