Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by the Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, provides a thorough manual on the principles of reverence and godly fear which ought to characterize the approach of the creature to the Creator. This book can be seen as one of a series of High Church Anglican attempts to incorporate Catholic Church reverence, manual acts, and ceremony into the Anglican tradition. The author distills the essence of the continental Catholic tradition of reverent gestures and acts employed in Divine Service, hoping it may enrich the slender directions of the Prayer Book rubrics and elevate Anglican Services. The author draws on the authority of the XXXth Canon of 1604 to justify his recommendations for conformity with the customs of the great continental Churches in matters of ceremony. The book has a thoroughly practical approach and avoids intricate antiquarian considerations, resulting in a straightforward guide to making acts of public worship honourable and impressive. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
