Author: RAINEY, REV. W.H.T.N.
Title: The Church Impotent Here in Earth.
Description: London: Robert Scott, 1918. A Constructive Critique on the Inefficiency and Unpopularity of the Church in this Hour of the World's Supremest Need of God and Guidance, with a Plea for a Rational Readjustment of the Relationship between Religion and the Race. 1st edition. "The purpose..of this treatise is to give an intelligible exposition of the primary and predominant relation between The Deity and the Human Race as the motive of Religion and the essential basis of the Vocation of The Church as the Divinely commissioned World-Power in the beneficent progress of Humanity; to indicate where misapprehension of this relationship paralyses her Mission, excludes her from effective moral influence in World-wide movements, discredits her guidance in the resolution of Social, Industrial, and Economic problems, discourages confident co-operation by responsible classes of the community, and (to adopt her own phrase) alienates the masses from her ministrations."(author's foreword). Pp.250, toning to pages, spotting to endpapers. Blue cloth, gilt title to front and spine, spine faded and some fading to rear edges. Good.**Rev W.H.T.N.Rainey was Vicar of St Paul's, Avenue Road Hampstead, N.W. Sometime Rector of Bebington, Cheshire.
