Archbishop Wake and the Project of Union (1717-1720): Between the Gallican and Anglican Churches (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Excerpt from Archbishop Wake and the Project of Union (1717-1720): Between the Gallican and Anglican Churches
N choosing the subject for a Dissertation required by the statutes of the University of Cambridge, I was attracted to the present one from several causes. As a' former Preacher of Gray's Inn, the life and writings of Archbishop Wake had a natural interest for me. Moreover, the frequent discussion, during the past year, of proposals for reunion among separated bodies of Christians tended to recall a period of Wake's life, when his thoughts were much occupied by similar proposals.
It seemed, accordingly, that it might not be useless or inappropriate to relate, in fuller detail than had hitherto been done, a project in which he was once engaged for the reunion of two national Churches. The fact that the scheme to out ward appearance proved abortive does not deprive it of its value. The correspondence between two such representative men as an Archbishop of Canterbury and one of the most learned jurists of France, cannot but be instructive. We may at least gain from it a clearer conception of the difficulties that must beset us, when we attempt to reach an end, in itself confessedly good, but towards which the road has not yet been sufficiently levelled and prepared.
