An Appeal To Evangelical Churchmen In Behalf Of Liturgical Revision Etc

Excerpt from An Appeal to Evangelical Churchmen: In Behalf of Liturgical Revision I am referring to a period nearly forty years ago, and to convictions which have been enlarged and strength ened by all the studies, observations, and experiences of the intervening time. And whilst many of my early Oxford friends have been drifting, by force of the Anglo catholic current, towards the dark abyss of Popery, of whom some are already engulphed,2 and some still hesi tate on the slippery verge, I have been led to cherish, with ever increasing attachment, the Gospel of the grace of God, brought to light anew by our Reformers, and to value the regard of those truly evangelical men, who uphold their views, and follow their examples. Hence it is that I take every opportunity of retracting what I have ever otherwise stated, and am continually occupied in revising what I have at any. Time published in a sense opposed to theirs. And hence I cannot but desire, that in the present crisis of Opinions and beliefs, in re gard to matters theological and ecclesiastical, the Evan gelicals should so act as to recommend their distinctive principles, and to secure for those principles a due mea sure of ascendancy in any settlement likely to occur of the questions which agitate the church.
