Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Diary of a Church-Goer, 1918
Churchmen ever since the days of Chillingworth, and is, perhaps, one cause of the un-christian Sabbatarianism which so long af?icted this country. So, too, in the matter of the use of the Psalms and the Quicunque Vult he certainly repre sents a great body of Church opinion. But, when we come to his theological views, it may fairly be asked Is there room in the English Church for men of the type of the author of this book? I venture to think that there is. It would, I believe, be an evil day for the Church if it wished and tried to exclude thinkers so earnest, reverent, and sincere as Lord Courtney. It is true, indeed, that men of this type are, more and more, withdrawing themselves from the services of the Church, to the injury both of the Church and of themselves, but my hope is that the wider circulation of this book may help to induce some of them to consider it again, and to hesitate before they entirely cut themselves off from public worship. For, indeed, we must protest against the notion that men can only worship together when they are completely agreed in their religious views.
