A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Saxon invasion the Church entered into this country, settling itself, after that event, in Wales, where theB ritons found a refuge from their enemies. Afterwards Christianity was brought to ourS axon forefathers by Augustine and Aidan and other saintly mis sionaries, and Alfred the Great defended the Church against the heathen Danes, till they too were received into its bosom. It has thus borne witness for God in this land during many centuries, through all changes, all crises of trial and suffering ;and in its main principles it is the same now as it was at the beginning. Although retaining a national identity, and independent history, and frequently asserting its independence, the Church was for a long period to a very great extent subject to the rule of theS ee of Rome ;then for a time its relations with theE nglish State were so complicated that, although its action was in theory free, it was sadly hampered by the royal claims of absolute authority. When the Puritans attained power, the whole energies of that party were directed to the suppression of the Church sorddr and services. At the Restoration, its national and spiritual character was alike vindicated, but soon after it was drained of much blood through the secession of theN on-J urors ;after which ensued many years of spiritual decline. At last there came a revival through theE vangelical movement, and of late years a still greater quickening through theO xford movement, which has stirred the whole body of the Church with new life and power.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
