Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Comedy of Convocation in the English Church: In Two Scenes Dr. Easy rose to propose the question of which he had given notice at the previous sitting of Convocation: - "Would it be considered heresy in the Church of England to deny the existence of God?" It had occurred to him that he should perhaps adopt a form more convenient for the present debate, if he put the question thus: - "Would a clergyman, openly teaching that there was no God, be liable to suspension?" Archdeacon Jolly thought not. What the Church of England especially prided herself upon was the breadth of her views. No view could be broader than the one just stated, and therefore none more likely to meet with the sanction of the Privy Council, which, he apprehended, was the real point to be kept in view in the discussion of this interesting question?" (Hear, hear.) Dean Blunt concurred in the opinion that Breadth and the Privy Council were kindred ideas. Still, it might be asked, could even the doctrinal elasticity of that tribunal become sufficiently expansive to embrace the enormous hypothesis of his learned friend? He ventured to think that it could. Let it be supposed that some clergyman of the Church of England - say the Archbishop of Canterbury - should publicly teach that there was no God.
