The Church A Family

The Church A Family: Twelve Sermons On The Occasional Services Of The Prayer Book (1850) is a book written by Frederick Denison Maurice. It consists of twelve sermons that explore the concept of the church as a family, and how this idea is reflected in the occasional services of the Book of Common Prayer. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the church as a family. The first chapter discusses the role of baptism in welcoming new members into the church family. The second chapter explores the significance of confirmation, while the third chapter looks at the importance of the marriage service in creating new families within the church. Other chapters in the book examine the role of the church in times of sickness and death, the significance of the burial service, and the importance of the Eucharist in strengthening the bonds of the church family. Throughout the book, Maurice emphasizes the idea that the church is not just a collection of individuals, but a community of people who are bound together by their common faith and shared experiences. The Church A Family: Twelve Sermons On The Occasional Services Of The Prayer Book (1850) is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the church as a family, and will be of interest to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
