Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Voice in the Wilderness: Being a Plea for the Restoration of Primitive Christianity, Addressed to the Bishops of the Anglo-American Communion, and Through Them to the English-Speaking People Throughout the World My Dear Bishop: In the early days of book-writing and book-making it was customary for an author of little note to publish his book under the patronage of some noble and celebrated name; hoping to overcome his own obscurity by adding to it the celebrity of his patron. Following this ancient custom, I venture to bring out this little book under the cover of your distinguished name and to beg for it the patronage of your high office and the support of your venerated and beloved personality. I make this appeal for help the more urgently because what I do in this book may seem to savour of presumption, and may bring upon me the reproach justly due to one who "exercises himself in great matters which are too high for him." I, who am less than the least of all saints, who am but a parish priest with nothing to distinguish me from the thousands who hold and exercise the same office, venture to speak to those who are over me in the Lord. I address my words to the Bishops of the Anglo-American Communion. In so rash an undertaking it is necessary that I fortify myself in every possible way so that I may secure a fair hearing and a just judgment. I can think of no better method of gaining the favor of those with whom I wish to plead than by placing myself under the protection of some eminent member of their sacred order.
