Church of England
Much of the Anglican Church of today is in the midst of the latter rain revival.
The Church of England is the National Episcopal Church of England. The Church of
England in the Hanoverian period had solid merits and undoubted faults. They were robust
in thought and vigorous in expression, but the range of their sympathies was
circumscribed. They equated what was reasonable with what commended itself to common
sense. Emotion was suspect and enthusiasm anathema. Their sermons were rational rather
than mystical in tone, ethical rather than dogmatic in content. Nevertheless they
recognized that a licentious age had to be confronted with the claims of morality, and
they pressed their demands upon a generation none too ready to listen. They met and
overcame a threat to the Christian faith.
