Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Christian Reunion: The Hulsean Lectures for 1886 The subject of Christian Reunion, and the history of the various efforts to promote it from the time of the Reformation, have seldom been dealt with by English church historians. The late Rev. H. B. Wilson, in his Hampton Lectures, was almost the only writer to treat the topic scientifically, but his purpose prevented him from more than individual references in his notes to the leaders of earlier movements. The work of Karl Hering, published as far back as the year 1836, remains still the standard history, and the present writer had planned to translate it, adding the results of recent publications of the Leibnitz correspondence, and dealing also with the relations in past time of the Church of England and the foreign Reformed Churches. An occasion for dealing separately with the last of these topics presented itself when the writer was appointed Select Preacher at Cambridge, almost on the exact bi-centenary of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, in October 1885. The discourse then delivered, pointing out the old relations of cordial sympathy and communion between the Anglican and Huguenot Churches, is included in the present volume. The appeal was received with assent by the members of the theological faculty at Cambridge, and words of sympathy and approval came from Drs. Hatch and Fairbairn at Oxford, Professor A. S. Farrar at Durham, the venerable Bishop of Worcester, and many others. Still more acceptable, as a testimony to the practical possibility of the step advocated, was a communication from Dr. Eugene Bersier. In this letter, the distinguished leader of the Reformed Church in Paris declared not only his cordial assent to the plea, but expressed his willingness to co-operate personally in any effort to bring together the two Churches.
