Anglican Priest

Famous quotes containing the words anglican and/or priest:

    The Anglican Church is marked by the grace and good sense of its forms, by the manly grace of its clergy. The gospel it preaches is, “By taste are ye saved.” ... It is not in ordinary a persecuting church; it is not inquisitorial, not even inquisitive, is perfectly well bred and can shut its eyes on all proper occasions. If you let it alone, it will let you alone. But its instinct is hostile to all change in politics, literature, or social arts.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “And because I am happy, & dance & sing,
    They think they have done me no injury,
    And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King,
    Who make up a heaven of our misery.”
    William Blake (1757–1827)
