Item description from seller

xv, 198 p.: 5 pl.; 22 cm. 150 letters written as Archbishop of Canterbury, 1942-44, usually without name of addressee. 28. The Bishops and the Anglo-Catholics. `.The action of the latter in `one church areas'.has in so many cases been completely inconsiderate of the lay folk that Bishops who have rural areas are driven into what Anglo- Catholics must regard as a repressive attitude of mind. But I think most Anglo-Catholics entirely forget the inevitable difference between the clerical and the lay outlook in these matters: As I have heard old Father Kelly put it, `Clergy always arrange devotional exercises in order to suit devotional athletes; they put up hurdles too high for anyone not an athlete to clear,and the average man only hurts his shins'!' -- 81. The relation of man to God. `.I have great sympathy with what you write, but there is one sentence in it which I could not swallow; it is on the last page--God needs us as much as we need Him'. I think that this kind of balance between the Creator and the creature is completely destructive in the long run of all real reverence and therefore of all real religion.There is a sense in which God needs us; He is not dependent on us for His being, and we are dependent on Him for our being;itis only because His nature is love that He needs the objects of love; if we were abolished, He would still be there, unchanged, except that,to use Traherne's favourite phrase,`He would be wanting objects of love', whereas He had in fact by creation supplied them. I think if one does accept this point of view, it affects one's feeling towards phrases like `King of kings': your ordinary man may be bored with this in a prayer for our own King, but he simply loves it in the Hallelujah Chorus!'
