Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between the Church and the State, and particularly the independence of Church courts and tribunals in handling matters of ecclesiastical law and discipline. The author argues that the established practice in England, of having ecclesiastical matters reviewed and revised by secular authorities, is a direct infringement on the principle of Royal Supremacy and Establishment, and goes against the inherent independence of the Church to govern its own affairs. The author is adamant that this practice has serious negative consequences for both the Church and the State, and urgently appeals to return to the traditional principle of independence of Church courts. The author authoritatively draws upon ecclesiastical and legal history, as well as case law, to support the arguments. This book is essential reading for scholars of church and state relations and anyone interested in the future of the Church of England.
