Synopsis
Excerpt from A First Letter to the Right Honourable Lord John Russell, M. P. On the Present Persecution of a Certain Portion of the English Church: With a Sermon, Preached at S. Paul's, Knightsbridge, on Sunday Morning and Evening, November 17, 14850 My Lord, - I am desirous of informing your Lordship, as one of my chief parishioners, and as one also charged by our Sovereign Lady the Queen to administer the government of this kingdom, and therein to keep order, peace, and harmony among her subjects - I am desirous of informing you, in both these capacities, that I am in great trouble and distress of mind at the present moment in regulating the affairs of my parish. I am also desirous of forwarding you a copy of my sermon preached at S. Paul's, Knightsbridge, your parish church, on Sunday the 17th November. The sermon, should you possibly spare time to read it, refers to the difficulties and embarrassments under which we all are labouring as to the good order and decency of Divine service; as to freedom of conscience in worshipping our God without bodily fear; as to a great alarm under which we daily live, lest some sin of sacrilege should be committed by a tumultuous and disorderly mob which is continually molesting us in our holy offices, and threatening violence to our church and to our persons.

A First Letter to the Right Honourable Lord John Russell, M. P. On the Present
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a revealing historical account of the response to perceived ritualist practice in the Victorian Anglican Church. The author discusses the anti-Catholic bigotry of the mid-19th century and how, despite his earlier role as a Catholic emancipator, Prime Minister Lord John Russell stirred up anti-Catholic sentiment to further his political career. The book also highlights how this anti-Catholic and anti-ritualist agenda caused fear and distress within the working-class parish of St Barnabas, London, and its clergy. The author argues that the panic over ritualism in the Victorian era was borne out of ignorance, bigotry and political expediency. The book uncovers the resilience of the clergy and parishioners in the face of such hostility whilst illuminating the extent to which anti-Catholic sentiment could be whipped up during the Victorian period for political gain.
