About This Book
A series of instructional lectures explains the nature and organization of the Christian Church, distinguishing its universal, national, and established aspects and its origin and purpose as the authorized channel of salvation. It surveys the Church's authoritative books, treating the Bible and the Prayer Book and their roles in worship and teaching. It examines the sacraments in detail — baptism, the Eucharist, confirmation, matrimony, holy orders, penance, and unction — describing their meanings, administration, and pastoral safeguards. Practical guidance for laity and clergy on instruction, responsibility, and the Church's everyday functions completes the exposition.
