Summary "Prospects of the Church of England" by C. J. Vaughan is a sermon delivered in the Parish Church of Doncaster, likely written in the late 19th century, specifically in 1868. This book serves as a religious discourse focusing on the current state and future of the Church of England, emphasizing the need for reform and an urgent call to action for the congregation to take responsibility for the maintenance of both the physical church and the spiritual community. In this sermon, Vaughan reflects on the parallels between the historical challenges faced by the Temple in Jerusalem and the contemporary struggles of the Church of England. He uses the biblical story of King Joash's reign and his desire to restore the Temple to highlight the importance of repairing both the spiritual and physical aspects of worship. Vaughan urges his congregation to actively participate in supporting the Church, not just financially but through genuine engagement in worship and communal responsibilities. He warns of potential disestablishment and emphasizes the vital role of the Church in society, encouraging the congregation to invest in their faith and community to avoid spiritual neglect and ensure the Church remains a living testament to God’s presence.
