Synopsis

Aids To Reflection On The Seemingly Double Character Of The Established Church, With Reference To The Foundation Of A 'Protestant Bishopric' At Jerusalem by William Palmer is a critical examination of proposals suggesting that Protestant Christendom forms a single church and that establishing a bishopric in Jerusalem would unify Protestants under a common authority. Palmer's argument is built upon Prussian state documents, the history of the English Convocation, and correspondence with the Eastern Catholic Church. He contends that Protestantism cannot achieve true Catholic unity and that efforts to merge Protestant denominations threaten the Catholic identity of the Church of England. The work explores historical events from the late 17th century to the early 19th century, including Burnet’s accounts, nonjuring bishops, Bethlehem Synod canons, and inter-church diplomacy, advocating for the restoration of Catholic unity and the rejection of Protestant unions with Lutherans and Calvinists.
