Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical and ethical reasons for the disconnect between the Church of England and the urban working class. The author provides ample evidence, including statistics, expert testimony, and personal anecdotes, to illustrate the spiritual crisis facing the urban poor. The author argues that the luxurious lifestyle of bishops, with their palaces, wealth, and aristocratic status, is a significant contributing factor to this crisis, as it sends the message that the Church is more concerned with the comfort of the affluent than with the salvation of the poor. The book suggests that the Church, to regain its relevance, must embrace simplicity, reduce its ties to wealth and power, and demonstrate a genuine concern for the spiritual well-being of all, regardless of their social status. This thought-provoking book offers valuable insights into the challenges facing the Christian Church and proposes a path forward to restore its relevance in the modern world.
