Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fascinating look into the 1661 conference held to review the Book of Common Prayer in the wake of the English Restoration. The conference, attended by leading bishops, theologians, and Presbyterian ministers, was tasked with finding common ground and addressing objections to the liturgy. Tensions between the two sides were evident, with the bishops seeking to uphold traditional practices and the Presbyterians pushing for reforms to accommodate tender consciences.
