Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rubrics and Canons of the Church of England Considered The controversy that has been raised in the Church of England with regard to the rubrical directions of the Book of Common Prayer, has grown with a rapidity, reached to an extent, and is now carried on with a bitterness which is most deeply to be lamented. One of its great evils is the time, the study, the legal enquiries, and antiquarian researches, which it entails upon the whole body of the Clergy. At a moment in which all their energy is required to maintain true religion, and promote religious education among the people, they are called upon, either at once to submit to the decrees of their own Bishop, - opposed as they may be to the practice and opinions of many other Bishops and Dioceses, or to examine, at great lengthy and with much difficulty, a number of ceremonial questions in their own nature of very little importance. Whether, or when the Surplice or the Gown is to be used in preaching; whether Lights are to be placed, and if placed, when to be lighted, on the Communion Table; whether the Offertory Sentences, and the Prayer for the Church Militant ought to follow every Sermon which is preached at the Morning Service; in what cases the Minister is to turn his face to the East, and his back or his side to the congregation; whether the practice of bowing towards the Communion Table when approaching it, and the Church on entering or quitting it, is authorised or repudiated by any canonical regulations; whether the bread and wine are to be placed on the sacramental board before or after the service of the Lord´s Supper begins; - these and many other Liturgical niceties are forced upon the attention of the Clergymen of our Established Church, with a pertinacity in some, and a tone of authority in others, which their comparative insignificance, and the obscurity that attends them, are quite unable to justify. The necessary consequence is, that in order to become acquainted with these lesser duties, men are compelled to sacrifice to them a great portion of those thoughts and hours, which would otherwise have been more usefully devoted to the weightier matters of their sacred profession, or the active duties of their Bishopric of Souls.
