Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The True Remedy for the Evils of the Age: A Charge to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Lewes, Delivered at the Ordinary Visitation in 1849; With Notes, Especially on the Educational, Matrimonial, and Baptismal Questions Some of these also refer to new phases assumed by certain questions, which have been agitating our Church since the delivery of the Charge. Such however is the railway speed at which ecclesiastical affairs move onward now-a-days, that the opinion of today may almost become antiquated by tomorrow. Even since the last sheets were printed, some of the questions treated in them have put on a new form. This is especially the case with the Baptismal Controversy, on which the Judgement of the Court of Appeal has now been pronounced. Of this Judgement I will not here say more, than that they who pronounced it have evidently been animated by an earnest desire to preserve the peace of the Church, and to avoid whatever might have afforded a plea for schism, so far as they could consistently with the righteous performance of the task assigned to them. For this desire we may all feel thankful to them. O that we might all be equally inspired with it! Peace is not indeed to be purchast by a sacrifice of truth: that would be a hollow, false peace. But it may rightly be purchast, and ever has been so, when wisdom and experience have guided the helm, by tacking to and fro to escape the driving violence of the winds, by abstinence from enforcing any one peculiar view of the truth, to the exclusion of all others. Without such abstinence we should be in a state of never-ending conflict. Every man would be shut up in the desert island of his own opinions, cut off from all communication with his neighbours, unless in the form either of aggression or of repulsion. Every man´s hand would be against his brother. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
