Excerpt from The Ministry of Absolution: An Appeal for Its More General Use With Due Regard to the Liberty of the Individual
The practice of confession Spread from conscience to conscience, before there was any oral teaching as to the remedy. Living men whose minds were stirred taught the nature of the disease: the Prayer book which the Church of England put into the hands of all her children in their own language taught the remedy. Without any other living teaching, men (for the enlarged use of confession began With men), men whose consciences were awakened learned to lay down the burden of their sins at our dear Lord's feet: and He by virtue of His words, Whose soever sins ye remit, they are re mitted unto them,' said to their inmost souls, Thy sins be forgiven thee; go in peace.' In those stirring times, people saw the change wrought in the outward life of their acquaintance, and asked, 'what has changed you so?' The answer, 'i have been to confession,' suggested the thought, 'then it might be good for me too.'

Excerpt from The Ministry of Absolution: An Appeal for Its More General Use With Due Regard to the Liberty of the Individual
On order to indicate the point of view from which this little book has been written, I venture to give some extracts from two lectures delivered at Worcester in November 1898 by Dr. Charles Gore, Bishop of Oxford, who was then Canon of Westminster and Superior of the Community of the Resurrection. They are fully reported in the Guardian (Nov.9 and 16, 1898). In the first Dr. Gore sketches the history of the penitential discipline of the Church at large, and throws a good deal of light on the subject discussed in Chapter XI. of this volume. In the second he speaks of the penitential discipline of the Church of England since the Reformation, with some very practical suggestions as to the duty of the clergy: -
"Our conditions are different from those of the early Church, or the mediæval Church, or the Church of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. How are all these principles and directions to be applied? The first point to notice is that the whole theory of Church penitential discipline implies a social view of sin. It is not merely a personal matter between the soul and God.

This text examines the Anglican perspective on the controversial practice of confession, a ministry that has seen a resurgence in popularity within certain Anglican communities.

The book addresses the pitfalls of detached, impersonal ministry and outlines how the ministry of absolution can bring the priest closer to their flock. It reveals the interconnectedness between confession and liberty, offering a nuanced approach to the sacrament as a tool for both spiritual growth and personal restoration.
