Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between the Church of England and the state, arguing that the church is not as intertwined with the political apparatus of England as some believe. The author traces the historical development of the Church of England, demonstrating that it existed as a separate entity long before there was a state to align with. The book challenges the notion that the church is a parliamentary institution and asserts that it has maintained its own doctrines and practices throughout its history. The author also discusses the demands of some dissenters for a separation of church and state and critically examines the arguments for and against such a move, ultimately concluding that the church's independence from the state has been a source of strength, not weakness.
