The Ornaments Of The Ministers (1920)

The Ornaments of the Ministers is a book written by Percy Dearmer, first published in 1920. The book explores the use of liturgical ornaments in the Anglican Church, particularly those worn by ministers during services. Dearmer delves into the history and symbolism behind these ornaments, including vestments, stoles, and chasubles, and argues for their continued use in worship. He also addresses the controversy surrounding their use, particularly in the wake of the Protestant Reformation. The book is considered a valuable resource for those interested in Anglican liturgy and the history of Christian worship. It is written in a scholarly yet accessible style, with illustrations and photographs accompanying the text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
