Description
Excerpt from The Religion of the Church, as Presented in the Church of England: A Manual of Membership
I have been several times asked why I do not print such words as Church, Sacrament, Precious Blood, etc., with a capital. There are, I suppose, two principles on which capitals may be used. One principle, which seems to be dominant, is to use them, even in the case of adjectives, to express sscredness or dignity or importance. The other principle, the principle of the English Bible, is to use them only for proper names. I greatly prefer this principle, and seek to adhere to it, save that I have not dared (except in quotations from the Bible) to print the personal pronouns referring to God without the capitals. Otherwise, I desire to adhere to the principle of the English Bible. I suppose Church of England, Church of Rome, the Pope.
