Elizabeth I divided her episcopate at the outset of her reign
between Geneva reformers and bishops who looked to the Fathers of
the Early Church. Thereafter in the Church of England there would
always be divines who were drawn to the orthodox East. Such men
suffered mightily in the 17th century at the hands of the Puritans
and then Whigs when these gained political power, and their
suffering impelled them more and more to 'look to the east'. This
book traces the fortunes of that quest, through the study of Greek
texts, involvement in the intricate politics of the Near and Middle
East, deprivation and isolation in the Nonjuror schism and finally
the rejection by the Greek Patriarchs of requests for Orthodox
Communion in the 1720s. It is a sad story involving much pain, but
the steadfastness of the participants may have much to teach
embattled churchmen today and inspire Orthodox readers to look with
freah eyes at an attempt at unity whihc fialed as much through the
weaknesses of the Orthodox Church at that time as from the
inadequacies of those who wished to join them.
