Excerpt from Organized Almsgiving, or a Constitutional Organization for Promoting the Maintenance and Increase of the Home Pastorate, and for the Promotion of Foreign Missions: A Proposal Concerning the Church of England
It is not every clergyman who has the aptitude for being the missionary enthusiast of the parish. And how many of the clergy are so engrossed in their many-sided parochial duties that they are unable to give to the missionary cause that devotion which it deserves. But surely there is some one in every parish who, given the opportunity, would do good things, if not great things, for the cause of missions in the capacity of Parochial Secretary, and whose help in that capacity would be most valuable to the parish priest.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a proposal for a comprehensive and organized approach to almsgiving within the Church of England. The author argues that the current system of voluntary societies is inadequate to meet the growing need for financial support for the Church's work at home and abroad. The proposal includes the creation of a Pastoral Board, a Missions Board, and Diocesan Boards to oversee the distribution of funds and ensure that all parishes and dioceses are able to contribute their fair share. The book also discusses the need for a more systematic approach to clergy training and support, as well as the importance of engaging the laity in the work of the Church. The author believes that this new system of almsgiving would not only increase the financial resources of the Church but also foster a greater sense of unity and purpose among its members.
