Excerpt from Old Anglicanism and Modern Ritualism
Have such sentiments as these ever prevailed in the reformed Church of England before? Not in the sixteenth century when Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley died to resist them and the Elizabethan divines, repte sented by Jewell, firmly repudiated them. Not in the eighteenth century when the Church and nation had settled down to an unimpassioned Protestantism. Not in the seventeenth century, as, I believe, is proved to demonstration by the following pages.
Then there is no precedent for the disloyalty to the principles of the Reformation, the acceptance of Mediaeval doctrines and the adoption of the ritual and ceremonies naturally accompanying those doc trines such as we see now prevailing and called by the ill-chosen name of Ritualism.

Excerpt from Old Anglicanism and Modern Ritualism
Ritualism has very commonly been regarded by English Church people as a system of ceremonial practices supposed to enliven and brighten, the. Church services. Looked at in this light, it has been condoned by many to whose taste the practices did not appeal, as harmless to congregations and as giving to clergy who liked ceremony a greater interest in their routine of work. 'They will get tired of it when the novelty has worn off,' laymen have thought with a half-kindly, half-contemptuous smile, 'and meantime we will let it alone.' Of late, however, the Church has awakened to the apprehension that the Ritualist ceremonialism has a very definite doctrinal meaning, and that Ritualist ceremonies are not introduced as a matter of æstheticism but to teach a faith. What is that faith?

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a profound analysis of the evolution of Anglicanism within the context of the broader history of Christianity. The author draws a sharp distinction between the Protestantism embraced by England in the 16th century, and the modern ritualist movement, which the author argues has more in common with mediaeval Catholicism than the teachings of the original founders of the Church of England. Incisive and persuasive, the author provides theological support for the Protestant origins of the Church of England, and an uncompromising critique of the ceremonies and practices that have characterised the ritualist movement. The author concludes that ritualism is a return to mediaeval superstition and a rejection of the core Protestant beliefs that have shaped the Church of England for centuries. For those interested in the history of the Church of England, this book provides a wealth of insight and analysis, with a detailed exploration of the theological arguments that underpin the schism between Protestantism and mediaeval Catholicism.
