Reasons For Being A Churchman PDF Download

Excerpt from Reasons for Being a Churchman: Addressed to English Speaking Christians of Every Name The Reasons for being a Churchman are addressed to English-speaking Christians, because the Anglican Church is that part of the Catholic Church which has lawful jurisdiction over that part of the earth which is occupied by the English-speaking race. Our Church can lay no just claim to the obedience of Orientals, Italians, Frenchmen, Mexicans, and the like. They owe allegiance to the Dioceses and Provinces of the Church Catholic in their respective countries. Of their peculiar difficulties, of their need of reformation, and of their proper courses of action, it is no part of this book to treat. The object in view is twofold: - First, to strengthen those who are already in actual conformity with the Anglo-Catholic Church. It was a profound observation of our great Archbishop, St. Anselm: "Neglegentia mihi videtur si, postquam confirmati sumus in Fide, non studemus quod credimus intelligere." This "negligence" among Churchmen is lamentable and appalling - a chief cause of indifferentism and apostacy.
