Popis:	Lest it should seem to some that this is a strange subject for a Presidential Address to an Ecclesiastical History Society, may I say at the outset that I propose to deal with it as an historical and not a theological problem, and, secondly, that in my view the history of the Christian Church must necessarily include the history of how Christians have worshipped God in every age. The Church is a living organism and not merely a human organisation with a hierarchy; general, provincial, and diocesan councils; canons and creeds; patrimony and patronage; social and economic responsibilities. All these aspects of her life, from the study of Church-State relations to the editing of episcopal registers and monastic constitutions are the proper concern of the Church historian, but so too is her inner life—spirituality, asceticism, and worship.
