Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Jacobite Stronghold of the Church: Being the Story of Old St. Paul´s, Edinburgh: Its Origin on the Disestablishment of Episcopacy in Scotland, 1689, Through Jacobite Years Onward to the Oxford Movement; And Its Relation to the Scottish Consecration in 1784 of the First Bishop of the Americ Little, it may be thought, considering the wealth of literature upon the subject, remains to be said of Edinburgh´s historic past, that perpetually fascinating theme, wherein religion and politics are never far asunder. Yet there is one aspect of it that has as yet been only glanced at, and that is, the remarkably interesting connection between the Jacobite party and the old Episcopal Church of the land, which chose, at the Revolution of 1689, to be disestablished and disendowed rather than deny its sworn allegiance to the absent King James VII.; and in Edinburgh it is the congregation of St. Paul´s in Carrubber´s Close, claiming, as it does, unbroken descent from that ejected from St. Giles in 1689, that has preserved through the centuries the memory of that heroic stand. This is why, while deeply impressed with the evolution of the present sanctuary, the home of so much that is beautiful in worship and work, from the despised meeting-house in which the evicted worshippers took refuge so long ago, I, who have ties with both, have chosen to dwell at greater length on the earlier part of its history.
