Download or read book The Anglican Episcopate 1689 1800 written by Nigel Aston and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth-century bishops of the Church of England and its sister communions had immense status and authority in both secular society and the Church. They fully merit fresh examination in the light of recent scholarship, and in this volume leading experts offer a comprehensive survey and assessment of all things episcopal between the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688 and the early nineteenth-century. These were centuries when the Anglican Church enjoyed exclusive establishment privileges across the British Isles (apart from Scotland). The essays collected here consider the appointment and promotion of bishops, as well as their duties towards the monarch and in Parliament. All were expected to display administrative skills, some were scholarly, others were interested in the fine arts, most were married with families. All of these themes are discussed, and Wales, Ireland, Scotland and the American colonies receive specific examination.

Download or read book Standing Against the Whirlwind written by Diana Hochstedt Butler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995-08-10 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing Against the Whirlwind is a history of the Evangelical party in the Episcopal Church in nineteenth-century America. A surprising revisionist account of the church's first century, it reveals the extent to which evangelical Episcopalians helped to shape the piety, identity, theology, and mission of the church. Using the life and career of one of the party's greatest leaders, Charles Pettit McIlvaine, the second bishop of Ohio, Diana Butler blends institutional history with biography to explore the vicissitudes and tribulations of evangelicals in a church that often seemed inhospitable to their version of the Gospel. This gracefully written narrative history of a neglected movement sheds light on evangelical religion within a particular denomination and broadens the interpretation of nineteenth-century American evangelicalism as a whole. In addition, it elucidates such wider cultural and religious issues as the meaning of millennialism and the nature of the crisis over slavery.

Download or read book Living with History written by Fredrica Harris Thompsett and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1999 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fredrica Harris Thompsett, a scholar of the English Reformation, introduces us to the role that history has played in creating and shaping the Episcopal Church as we know it today. In giving us the broad lessons of Anglican history, she explores in detail both the historian's task and Anglicanism's distinctive history, from its roots in Scripture and the English language Bible and prayerbook to its seventeenth century flowering in poetry and prose and the different forms it has assumed in the American landscape from the time of the Revolution right through to the late 20th century. Thompsett begins by discussing the relationship between history, tradition, and change, and goes on to outline ten key "touchstones" or milestones in Christian history that are of particular interest to Anglicans. Since it is the historian's task to write the "unwritten" as well as the official story of the church, chapter three is a history of ministry in the church, especially of lay ministry. Chapter four looks at three ways that Anglicans have handled conflict and controversy throughout its history, concentrating on the Elizabethan Settlement, the American Civil War, and the impact of Darwin and the new science. Chapter five discusses how theological insight can be "recycled" to shed new light on the problems of today, focusing on Anglican theology of creation and how it helps us address ecology as a spiritual crisis. Finally, chapter six focuses on how a living historical tradition affects the life and mission of the church today, and how we are a part of that history.

Download or read book A History of the Episcopal Church in Narragansett Rhode Island written by Wilkins Updike and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-26 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Episcopal Church in Narragansett, Rhode Island: Including a History of Other Episcopal Churches in the State This somewhat high-sounding phrase was not the term employed by Dr. Macsparran in his will, but appears to have been introduced into the Parish Register by his sue cessor, who, in recording the disposition of the Doétor' s farm, adds, in his characteristic style: The Whole of which was Originally Designed and Bequeathed To A cm' Rsvsnmo d1ocssan, in Case One of that Holy and Ever To be Revered order should Come to ame rica. It is noticeable that, as soon as the S. P. G. Was founded, its missionaries in America began to take the initiative for the introduction of resident bishops. Dr. Thomas Bray, one of the original promoters of the So ciety, and the Rev. John Talbot, later one of the non juring bishops, advocated the cause in 1701 and 1702. In 1 707, the Rev. Evan Evans, sent to Philadelphia by the Bishop of London in 1700, in a letter on The State of the Church in Pennsylvania, brought out some new points upon the need of episcopal authority in the colonies. In 1 713, the ministers and wardens of the church in Boston, acting under the inspiration of Gov ernor Nicholson, petitioned the Society and sent an address to Clueca Anne upon the subjeél, there being records of simultaneous petitions of the same nature from New York and Rhode Island. In 1718, an ad dress upon the grievances resulting from the lack of the episcopate was sent by the vestries of Christ's Church, Philadelphia, and St. Ann's, Burlington, and others to the archbishops and bishops of the Church of England.
