Excerpt from Anglicanism: Lectures on the Olaus Petri Foundation Delivered in Upsala During September, 1920Disgust with ecclesiastical divisions has gone along with a profound, if largely irrational, discontent with existing social and economic conditions. The general sentiment has gathered strength from many sources. Mortification at the petty role assigned to Christianity in the drama of civilized politics, compunction at the apparent failure of the Churches to discipline and direct the populations of Christendom, an intense and painful realization of the chasm which parts the sentiments, procedures, and ideals of modern war from the morality of the Gospel, a passionate desire at all hazards and at any cost to get into touch with the alienated masses - all these factors have been active and powerful among rehgrous people during the last few years, and their effect is perceptible in all directions. Within the relatively petty world of Anglicanism we have witnessed the rapid growth and complete triumph of anti national ideas. The Enabling Act of 1919, whatever may have been the intentions of its promoters, was in principle an Act for denation alizing the National Church.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
