Defense Of The English Ordinal

""Defense of the English Ordinal: With Some Observations upon Spiritual Jurisdiction and the Power of the Keys"" is a book written by William Ralph Churton in 1872. The book is a defense of the English Ordinal, which is the set of rites and ceremonies used in the ordination of priests in the Church of England. Churton argues that the English Ordinal is valid and legitimate, despite criticisms from some quarters that it lacks the necessary spiritual authority. The book also contains Churton's observations on spiritual jurisdiction and the power of the keys, which are central concepts in Christian theology. Churton argues for the importance of these concepts in understanding the role of the Church and its leaders in guiding the spiritual lives of believers. Overall, ""Defense of the English Ordinal"" is a scholarly work that engages with important theological and ecclesiastical debates of its time. It will be of interest to scholars of Christian history and theology, as well as to anyone interested in the history of the Church of England and its practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
