    About this ebook

    In "A Letter to the Parishioners of Fulham," R. G. Baker presents a compelling discourse on the intricate relationship between faith and community within the context of 19th-century England. Written in a direct and engaging epistolary style, Baker's work encapsulates the social and religious dynamics of his time, as he addresses the moral and spiritual needs of his parishioners. The book is not merely a theological treatise; it is a heartfelt call to action that intertwines pastoral care with an insistence on accountability and fellowship, reflective of the era's reformist spirit and the Church of England's evolving role within society. R. G. Baker, a noted ecclesiastical figure and social reformer, drew on his rich experiences as a parish priest to craft this letter. His deep concern for the spiritual welfare of his community and his advocacy for social justice shine through, influenced by the Victorian emphasis on moral responsibility. Baker’s theological insights are informed by the broader intellectual currents of his time, which grappled with the implications of industrialization and urbanization on religious life. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in Victorian spirituality, church history, or social reform movements. Baker’s clear prose and passionate plea for genuine community engagement make this letter not just a historical document, but a timeless reflection on the responsibilities of faith in fostering a nurturing society.

      Why Do Many People STRUGGLE With A LACK OF FAITH?

      Feb 11, 2022

      The apostle Paul exhorts Christians to “walk by faith and not by sight” – 2 Corinthians 5:7. What we see here is a contrast between truth and perception—what we know and believe to be true and what we perceive to be true. This is where the Christian

      Revelations

      xiv. 13.

      And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

      The

      solemnity with which the doctrine contained in this passage is introduced, and the remarkable way in which it is confirmed, declare loudly its value and importance.

      Amidst the visions of the Apocalypse, St. John had just beheld an emblematical representation of the Church of Christ, and of its Almighty Protector: a Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, with a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads: the faithful followers of their Lord in a corrupt and degenerate age; the first fruits to God and the Lamb; when his attention was directed to three angels, charged severally with the high commissions of bearing the everlasting gospel to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people: of proclaiming the utter overthrow of the mystic Babylon; and of denouncing the divine vengeance upon all her adherents. The days thus prefigured were to be days of hardship and persecution: the gospel, it is intimated, would not prevail without a conflict, nor would Babylon fall from her pre-eminence, without a hard struggle to maintain her ascendancy. Here, therefore, as we read, is the patience of the saints; much need will there be to them that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus, to possess their souls in patience, and to cultivate that meek and enduring spirit, which shone forth in their crucified Redeemer. In order, then, that under these trying dispensations, there may be no want of encouragement to maintain constantly the faith of the gospel; and, if necessary, to resist even unto blood, striving against sin; the inspired Apostle immediately and abruptly proclaims, I heard a voice from heaven,—a voice therefore of truth infallible, and of authority not to be
