| Summary |
"Occasional Papers" by R. W. Church is a collection of writings that were published in various periodicals such as The Guardian, The Times, and The Saturday Review, spanning from the mid to late 19th century. The works compile Church's reflections and critiques on significant issues relating to the English Church, its administration, and interface with state matters during a transformative period in English history. The opening of this volume begins with an analysis of a pamphlet by W.E. Gladstone on the topic of Royal Supremacy and its implications for the Church of England. Church reflects on Gladstone's arguments that navigate the historical context and constitutional implications of ecclesiastical jurisdiction, particularly in light of the Reformation. He emphasizes the complexities surrounding the relationship between Church authority and the crown, suggesting that the Church must reclaim its legislative power while still respecting the separation of powers established at the Reformation. This opening establishes the thematic focus on religious authority, constitutional law, and the challenges faced by the Church during this era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
