Publisher's Synopsis
""Is The Use Of The Vestments Under The Ornaments Rubric Part Of The Discipline Which The Church Has Received?"" is a book written by Henry M. Fletcher and published in 1883. The book explores the question of whether the use of vestments, specifically those under the ornaments rubric, is a part of the discipline that the Church has received.

Fletcher provides a historical and theological analysis of the use of vestments in the Church, examining the arguments for and against their use. He also discusses the controversy surrounding the use of vestments in the Church of England during the 19th century, which resulted in the Vestments Controversy of the 1870s. Overall, ""Is The Use Of The Vestments Under The Ornaments Rubric Part Of The Discipline Which The Church Has Received?"" is a scholarly work that provides insight into the debate surrounding the use of vestments in the Church, and the broader issue of how the Church interprets and applies its traditions and disciplines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
