Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters written by the author, a minister in the Church of England, to the then Prime Minister, Lord John Russell. The letters address a series of policy changes initiated by Russell's government that the author believes will irreparably harm the Church's standing with the people of England. The author argues that allowing Jews to sit in Parliament and the elevation of controversial theologians like Dr. Hampden to high positions within the Church will erode the trust of the people in their government's commitment to Christian principles. He focuses on several other political maneuvers of the time such as the recognition of Roman Catholic prelates in Ireland, which he sees as the government repudiating its connection to the established Church. The author sees these actions as a sign that England, once a great Christian nation, is turning its back on its religious heritage and setting itself on a path toward ruin. This book is a fascinating look at the role of the Church of England in 19th-century England as seen by one of its ministers and highlights the very real fears many had about where the nation was headed.
