Hardcover, [EAN: 9781528283250], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Forgotten Books, Excerpt from The Church of England: An Appeal to Facts and PrinciplesThe Oxford Library of Practical Theology, with which we are associated as editors, has set itself to supply some carefully considered teaching on matters of Religion in a simple and readable form.The remarkable and sympathetic favour with which the volumes of that series have been received, has led us to believe that a plain and short statement of what we conceive to be the position of the English Church, in the unrest and suspicion so unhappily prevalent, will not be unacceptable at the present moment. We have endeavoured as far as possible to put our view of the case in a positive rather than in a protesting and polemical manner.There are plenty of controversialists ready to say what they are not, and what they hold to be untrue, but not so many who are ready to say what they are, and what they believe and why they believe it. It is hoped that the matter here discussed will form the subject of a fuller and more completely developed treatment in a volume of the Library at some future time.In the meanwhile this pamphlet is put forth for a particular purpose at a particular moment, to show, if possible, that the spirit of the great Oxford Movement is still working among us as a real incentive to healthy development; and to recall men's minds, if it may be, to the wonderful position and privilege which they hold, who, if they are Catholics first, are also Anglicans, and heirs to the great heritage which that name implies, and trustees of the privileges which it enshrines.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
