The Church Of England

""The Church of England: Ever a True Branch of the Catholic Church, and Never a Part of the Church of Rome"" is a historical and theological analysis of the Church of England written by James Henry Fry and first published in 1893. The book aims to demonstrate that the Church of England has always been a legitimate part of the Catholic Church, despite its separation from the Roman Catholic Church during the English Reformation. Fry argues that the Church of England has maintained its Catholic heritage and identity through its adherence to the teachings of the early Church Fathers, the sacraments, and the apostolic succession of bishops. He also critiques the Roman Catholic Church's claims to be the only true Church and argues that the Church of England's independence allows for greater theological diversity and freedom. Overall, ""The Church of England"" provides a detailed and compelling defense of the Church of England's place within the Catholic Church and its unique history and identity.Five Lectures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
