By Montagu Robert Melville

Book Overview

""Reform, Not Subversion A Proposed Book Of Common Prayer, And Administration Of The Sacraments"" is a book written by Montagu Robert Melville in 1834. The book proposes a new version of the Book of Common Prayer and the administration of sacraments, with the aim of reforming the Church of England rather than subverting it. Melville argues that the current Book of Common Prayer is outdated and needs to be updated to better reflect the needs and beliefs of the modern society. He also suggests changes to the administration of the sacraments, including baptism, confirmation, and communion, to make them more accessible and meaningful to the congregation. The book is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of the Church of England in the changing social and political landscape of early 19th century Britain.And Other Rites And Ceremonies Of The Church, According To The Use Of The United Church Of England And Ireland, Together With The Psalter, Or Psalms Of David, Pointed As They Are To Be Chanted In Churches.
