A bold sermon on loving and strengthening your church, with practical steps for growth and renewal.
This edition presents a 19th‑century sermon that argues for a strong, thoughtful love of the Church of England. It explores why faithful church extension matters, how bishops and priests should be chosen, and how believers can support a reformed, scriptural church without losing charity for others.
- Learn how the Jewish synagogue model influenced early Christian practice and what that means for church governance today.
- See why popular elections for church ministers were viewed as risky, and what safeguards the speaker supports.
- Discover how to balance deep love for one’s own church with broad, charitable regard for other Christian communities.
- Understand practical paths for supporting church growth, including targeted building programs and responsible stewardship.
Ideal for readers interested in Anglican history, ecclesiastical governance, and thoughtful reflections on church unity, reform, and mission. This book offers a window into historic perspectives on how a faithful parish can navigate controversy while serving the gospel.
