Synopsis

Revision Of The Liturgy: Five Discourses. I. Absolution. II. Regeneration. III. Athanasian Creed. IV. Burial Service. V. Holy Orders. With An Introduction — Charles John Vaughan. This work presents a collection of discourses reflecting on Anglican liturgy and ecclesiology. The Introduction argues for cautious and coherent revision of the Book of Common Prayer, preserving unity while allowing for legitimate differences of opinion. The five Discourses address Absolution, Regeneration, the Athanasian Creed, the Burial Service, and Holy Orders, examining their scriptural basis, historical development, and practical implications for ministers and congregations. Vaughan emphasizes the need to distinguish changes in liturgical forms from changes in doctrine, to guard conscience, and to encourage charity and comprehension within a national Church. The work offers a historically significant perspective on the relationship between liturgy, doctrine, and pastoral ministry in the Church of England, urging reverence for tradition while inviting thoughtful reform.
