The Church Of England, A Bulwark Between Superstition And Schism: Two Sermons (1835)

""The Church of England, A Bulwark Between Superstition and Schism: Two Sermons"" is a religious text written by Richard Parkinson and published in 1835. The book consists of two sermons delivered by Parkinson, a Church of England clergyman, in which he defends the Church of England against charges of both superstition and schism. In the first sermon, Parkinson argues that the Church of England is a bulwark against superstition, which he defines as the belief in supernatural or magical powers. He contends that the Church of England's emphasis on reason and scripture prevents it from falling into the trap of superstition, unlike other religious groups. In the second sermon, Parkinson addresses the charge of schism, which refers to the division of a religious group into factions. He argues that the Church of England is a unifying force, bringing together people from different backgrounds and beliefs. He also defends the Church's hierarchy and structure, arguing that it is necessary for maintaining order and preventing schism. Throughout the book, Parkinson emphasizes the importance of the Church of England as a stabilizing force in society, and defends its traditions and practices against criticism from other religious groups. ""The Church of England, A Bulwark Between Superstition and Schism"" is a valuable resource for those interested in the history and theology of the Church of England, as well as for those interested in the role of religion in society more broadly.Also Contains The Ordination Vow, A Sermon; A Sermon Preached In The Chapel Of Lambeth Palace, At The Consecration Of Daniel Corrie; A Sermon Preached In Exeter Cathedral At The Anniversary Of The Devon And Exeter National Schools, By John Rogers; Concio Ad Clerum Provinciae Cantuariensis, Ab Hugone Jacobo Rose; The Truth Of The Establishment Tried, By An Appeal To Its Leading Doctrines, A Sermon; The Carnal Mind Is Emnity Against God, A Sermon, By P.
