Ecclesiastical Reform (Classic Reprint): The Present State of the Clergy of the Established Church, Considered; In Three Parts - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This book is an 18th-century expose on corruption within the Church of England. The author, an insider, was well placed to critique the abuses taking place in the ecclesiastical realm. It dissects the excessive wealth of some clergy, who drew salaries from several positions, while others, such as curates, faced financial hardship. It questions the ability, morality, and appropriateness of some of those given senior and influential ecclesiastical roles. The author argues that the situation led to a neglect of religious duty and caused hardship and inequality among its clergy. Critically, the book also explores the practice of wealthy incumbents paying poorly qualified surrogates to fulfil their clerical duties while they pursued more comfortable, lucrative lives elsewhere. This thought-provoking text presents a damning indictment of the state of the church at the time, exposing serious problems that were leading it astray from its true moral purpose.
