A Charge, to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of the East Riding at the Ordinary Visitation, A. D. 1845 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A compelling call for clergy to lead with lived faith instead of empty talk. This edition presents a sober, practical vision for pastoral work, inner conversion, and faithful use of the Prayer Book.

In these pages, the author argues that true improvement in society must begin with those who stand closest to the altar. The emphasis is on private happiness joined to public good, lived through prayer, self-examination, and self-denial. The text stresses clear, heartfelt preaching about conversion, while warning against mere emotional display or superficial repentance. It also defends the role of the Church’s formularies in guiding what salvation means and how faith is professed.

• How to assess the reality of penance and avoid hollow assurances


• The balance between doctrine, reverent faith, and practical duty


• The use of the Ten Commandments as a framework for self-examination


• Guidance for visiting the sick and the dying with seriousness and compassion

Ideal for readers interested in 19th‑century Anglican pastoral practice, church discipline, and devotional reform.
