About This Book

The lecture analyzes the first report of a royal commission on church ritual, arguing that its emphasis on clerical vestments and calls for restraining variations effectively threaten the integrity of the established prayer book and the Church's catholic character. The speaker examines the commission's findings, cites authorities who anticipate legislative regulation, and contends that changes to ceremonial practice constitute an indirect doctrinal assault. He calls for organized vigilance, public advocacy, and lawful means of resistance, and defends the appropriateness of memorials and petitions as ways to influence the commission's deliberations.
