Confession and Absolution: Report of a Conference Held at Fulham Palace on December 30 and 31, 1901, and January 1, 1902 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Exploring Confession and Absolution in the Anglican Church
This edition presents the report of a Fulham Conference held at the turn of the 20th century, edited by Henry Wace. It examines how Anglican doctrine, practice, and church discipline have shaped the understanding of confession, absolution, and the role of clergy and lay people in spiritual life. The discussion traces historical changes, scriptural foundations, and practical implications for parish life and personal faith.
Two central threads run through the pages: the authority of the church's formularies and the balance between private confession and direct access to God. The text weighs traditional practices against reforming ideals, offering a careful look at how Anglicans have approached sin, forgiveness, and pastoral care.- Learn how historical changes affected the practice of confession and the grammar of absolution in the Church of England
- See how early church practice, medieval developments, and post-Reformation reforms are connected
- Understand debates over the priesthood, lay involvement, and the scope of private confession
- Explore the practical questions ministers faced in guiding penitents and shaping parish life
