Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Provides for a selection of texts, together with scholarly
introductions, from one of the world's great private libraries,
covering a period from Elizabeth I to the Church's involvement in
homosexual law reform. This volume of the Church of England Record
Society, published in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the
foundation of Lambeth Palace Library, is a tribute to the value of
one of the world's great private libraries to the scholarly
community and its importance for the history of the Church of
England in particular. Thirteen historians, who have made
considerable use of the Library in their research, have selected
texts which together offer an illustration of the remarkable
resources preserved by the Library for the period from the
Reformation to the late twentieth century. A number of the
contributions draw on the papers of the archbishops of Canterbury
and bishops of London,which are among the most frequently used
collections. Others come from the main manuscript sequence,
including both materials originally deposited by Archbishop
Sancroft and a manuscript published with the help of the Friends of
Lambeth Palace Library in 2007. Another makes use of the riches to
the papers of the Lambeth Conferences. Each text is accompanied by
a substantial introduction, discussing its context and
significance, and a full scholarly apparatus. The themes covered in
the volume range from the famous dispute between Archbishop Grindal
and Queen Elizabeth I, through the administration of the Church by
Archbishop Laud and Archbishop Davidson's visit to the Western
Frontduring World War I, to involvement of the Church in homosexual
law reform.
Studies in Church History 59 addresses the historical development
of life events to which the churches have responded with specific
rites and ceremonies. The volume contributes to current discussion
in life cycle history and the ongoing debate about 'rites of
passage,' both ecclesiastical and secular. The major life cycle
events, such as birth, marriage and death, are considered; so too
are the churching or 'purification' of women after childbirth,
confirmation and first communion, and ordination, as well as less
widespread rites of passage, such as royal anointing and the
renunciation of wealth. The twenty-two papers span Christian
history and include contributions from Frances Knight, Thomas
O'Loughlin, Elisabeth van Houts and Alexandra Walsham. Taken
together, the articles offer clear evidence of the continuing
potency of ecclesiastical rites of passage, as well as of their
ability to be refashioned for the needs of successive generations
of believers.
