About this title

Synopsis

The Church's Self-Regulating Privilege, A National Safeguard In Respect Of Real Church Reform: Or Reasons For Reviving Convocations, Or Restoring Provincial And Diocesan Synods is a book written by John Kempthorne in 1835. The book argues for the revival of convocations or the restoration of provincial and diocesan synods as a means of achieving real church reform. Kempthorne asserts that the Church of England has a self-regulating privilege that should be utilized to address issues within the church. He argues that the convocation, which was the traditional means of regulating the church, should be revived to ensure that the church remains relevant and effective in modern times. Kempthorne provides reasons for why convocations or synods should be restored and argues that they would serve as a national safeguard in respect of real church reform. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates surrounding church reform in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
