Description
Excerpt from Narrative of a Visit to the Syrian (Jacobite) Church of Mesopotamia: With Statements and Reflections Upon the Present State of Christianity in Turkey, and the Character and Prospects of the Eastern Churches
This little book is introductory to a series which the author has long had in contemplation, and which, if sufficient encouragement is given to the undertaking, will in due time appear, according as the pressure of other cares may allow him to finish them. Their sole object and design is to set forth the Eastern Churches in their real character, to show their wants, their condition and their prospects, with a view to engaging a deeper interest and sympathy in their behalf. He addresses himself to Churchmen, for they alone will fully appreciate the considerations which he has to present. To them, and to them only does he believe the work of restoring and strengthening those Churches to be committed, and they alone are able to perform it.
As a specimen of the character of the works which he has thus under taken, and to supply information on a point upon which some will expect to meet with it in this volume, the following is subjoined from a treatise on the Doctrines, Ministry, Worship, Ritual, Usages and Religious Condition of the Syrian Church, - which is partly ready for the press.
