About this ebook

The Glorious Revolution of 1688, which pushed James II from the throne of England, was not glorious for everyone; in fact, for many, it was a great disaster. Those who had already taken an oath of allegiance to James II and “to his heirs and lawful successors” now pondered how they could take a second oath to William and Mary. Those who initially refused to swear the oaths were called Nonjurors. In 1691, Archbishop Sancroft, eight bishops, and four hundred clergy of the Church of England, as well as a substantial number of scholars at Oxford and Cambridge, were deprived, removed from their offices and their license to practice removed. The loss of this talent to the realm was incalcuable.
Ten different paradigms shaped the English Nonjurors’ worldview: Passive Obedience was paramount, the Apostolic Succession essential, a Cyprianist mentality colored everything, they held a conscientious regard for oaths, the Usages Controversy brought Tradition to the fore, printing presses replaced lost pulpits, patronage was a means of protection and proliferation, they lived with a hybridized conception of time, creative women spiritual writers complemented male bishops, and a global ecumenical approach to the Orthodox East was visionary. These ten operated synergistically to create an effective tool for the Nonjurors’ survival and success in their mission. The Nonjurors’ influence, out of all proportion to their size, was due in large measure to this mentality. Their unique circumstances prompted creative thinking, and they were superb in that endeavor. These perspectives constituted the infrastructure of the Nonjurors’ world, and they help us to see the early eighteenth century not only as a time of rapid change, but also as an era of persistent older religious mentalities adapted to new circumstances.

About the Author The Rev. John William Klein, SSC, describes himself as a Christian first, a priest for over 47 years, and as a pilgrim to Santiago de Compostela; he has walked the Camino four times. Father Klein, Anglo-Catholic by conviction, has served seven parishes in the Episcopal Church, one in the Church of England, and now serves as Vicar of Saint James the Great Anglican Church (Anglican Province of America) in Smiths Station, Alabama. He is a retired U. S. Army Chaplain. He holds the M.Div. cum honoribus from the Philadelphia Divinity School, the Doctor of Ministry from San Francisco Theological Seminary, and the MA and PhD from Auburn University. This book is his doctoral dissertation, defended on May 10, 2015. He is proudest, however, of writing Soji and Dash a memoir of his beloved Standard Schnauzers. He is married to Linda Wilkins Klein, DVM, MFT, who owns and operates WellSpring Counseling Center in Opelika, Alabama. Linda and John live on the edge of the woods in Opelika, Alabama with their dogs: Sunny, Dasher, and Sweet T(ea).
