Download or read book Our Church written by Roger Scruton and published by Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most people in England today, the church is simply the empty building at the end of the road, visited for the first time, if at all, when dead. It offers its sacraments to a population that lives without rites of passage, and which regards the National Health Service rather than the National Church as its true spiritual guardian. Here, Scruton argues that the Anglican Church is the forlorn trustee of an architectural and artistic inheritance that remains one of the treasures of European civilization. He contends that it is a still point in the centre of English culture and that its defining texts, the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer are the sources from which much of our national identity derives. At once an elegy to a vanishing world and a clarion call to recognize Anglicanism's continuing relevance, Our Church is a graceful and persuasive book.

Download or read book That Was The Church That Was written by Andrew Brown and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church of England still seemed an essential part of Englishness, and even of the British state, when Mrs Thatcher was elected in 1979. The decades which followed saw a seismic shift in the foundations of the C of E, leading to the loss of more than half its members and much of its influence. In England today 'religion' has become a toxic brand, and Anglicanism something done by other people. How did this happen? Is there any way back? This 'relentlessly honest' and surprisingly entertaining book tells the dramatic and contentious story of the disappearance of the Church of England from the centre of public life. The authors – religious correspondent Andrew Brown and academic Linda Woodhead – watched this closely, one from the inside and one from the outside. That Was the Church, That Was shows what happened and explains why.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church of England, Vol. 3: A History for the People; The English Reformation Let us rapidly glance over the careers and characters Of this line of mighty prelates, with their awful claims to a supreme spiritual power. Sixtus IV., who filled the papal chair a.d. 1471 to 1484, began what may be termed the secularisation of the Papacy. Of him Machiavelli writes: He was the first Pope who began to show the extent Of the papal power, and how things that before were called errors could be hidden behind the papal authority. The his torian of these popes thus explains these weighty words: The papal power which Machiavelli had before his eyes was not the moral authority of the head of Christen dom, but the power Of an Italian prince who was engaged in consolidating his dominions into an important state This Object Sixtus IV.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ...srrvnd arose from the persuasion that the representation of the memorials of the precious death of Christ is acceptable to God for the sake of that atoning death, and so draws down His favour upon the whole church, as well as upon those who partake in the celebration. This notion of drawing down God's favour upon the whole church came gradually to include the spirits of departed friends, as being still a part of the communion of saints..'or was this all. _ For instance, if a soldier went to battle, masses might be said for his success or his safety. If a man were sick, masses might be said for his recovery. At one time, in the Reformation of the sixteenth century, Luther and Melancthon and the German states appear to have been willing to retain the name and the service of the " mass," if only they might have abolished "private masses." Private masses were certainly celebrated in the church of Dunstan and his school. The Anglo-Saxon race were an intensely religious people, and the framework of their society was religious. Clubs, associations, guilds, or sodalities, as they were termed, were common in the nation. These clubs were founded for mutual protection and assistance in trouble, but a religious colour was indelibly stamped upon these associations owing to the existence among them of the custom to provide soul-shot, as it was called, on the death of every member of the association or guild, in order that the soul of the departed brother might enjoy the full benefit of the mass of the church. Masses, too, were constantly said for the souls of the surviving members of the guild.
