内容説明
In the late-18th and early-19th centuries, dioceses were large and bishops were few and far between. Much of their time was spent, necessarily, in London, attending to Parliamentary business. The result of all this was that bishops were rarley seen in the dioceses and had little time to deal with the problems of industrial society. Prompted by reforming figures such as John Bird Sumner and Samuel Wilberforce, in the early Victorian years, some attempts were made to reform the role and image of the episcopate. No general widespread change was observable, however, until Lord Palmerstone became prime minister in 1855. During his ten years in office he appointed bishops to 19 English sees, and when he died more that half of the bishops in England were his appointees. Significantly, Palmerstone's prelates came to office with a wealth of parochial experience. They were predominantly pastors of the people, rather than distant and lordly, concerning themselves with reforming their dioceses by revivng the role of Archdeacon and extending the number of Rural Deaneries.
These aspects and others, along with their battles over ritualism, their theology and their work in Parliament are examined in detail in this wide-ranging study. Nigel Scotland concludes by arguing that Plamerstone's prelates brought about a significant change in the English episcopate.
