Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Why I Am a Churchman "It is quite certain that we, whether ministers or people, clergy or laity, can only do God´s work in this Church of England by adhering firmly and consistently to the principles of our Church, as laid down at the glorious and blessed epoch of the Reformation." - Dean Hook. "The Church of England," says Archbishop Lang, "is not, and cannot be, if it is to have any power, a mere nebulous collection of any sort of opinion and practice. It has a mind of its own." The late Bishop Fraser said: "In a day when religious opinion is in a state of chaos and utter confusion, Churchmen ought to know what it is they believe, and why they believe it." It must be confessed that the Church of England has often been at a disadvantage, owing to the lack of sound and definite teaching amongst its members respecting its principles, history and doctrines. It is of first and vital importance to be a Christian, as apart from this it is not possible for anyone to be a true Churchman. What Is It To Be A Christian? Profession does not make one. A Christian is one who believes in Christ as his Saviour, loves Him as his Friend, and serves Him as his Master. A true Christian has been happily described as "one who lives By Christ, With Christ, Under Christ, To Christ, and For Christ." "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness." Having being made children of God by adoption and grace, and "grafted into the body of Christ´s Church" by Holy Baptism, it is essential that we should be identified with some branch of the Church on earth.
