Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Continuity of the Church of England: Before After Its Reformation in the Sixteenth Century, With Some Account of Its Present Condition; Being a Course of Four Lectures Delivered at S. Petersburg in the Official Residence of the Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod to Audiences Consisting For It seems right to put on record in this Preface the circumstances which directly prepared the way for and led up to the delivery of the course of lectures which here appears in book form. That a Priest of the Church of England should be invited by a diocesan Bishop of the Orthodox Russian Church to give a course of lectures on the English Church to members of the Russian Church, and that the Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod should arrange that those lectures should be delivered in his official residence, are events which do not happen every day, and they are events which betoken such a degree of friendliness towards the English Church on the part of high Russian authorities both ecclesiastical and civil, as would have been scarcely thought possible a little while ago. No doubt for a great many years past there have been influences at work preparing the way for a rapprochement of the Russian and English Churches. Among ourselves good work has been done by Mr. William Palmer and by Mr. George Williams, and by Dr. Neale and by Mr. W. J. Birkbeck and others; and there have been visits of Russian and Greek Bishops to England and of Anglican Bishops to Russia and to the Greek-speaking countries of the nearer East.
