About this eBook

Author Whitefoord, Caleb, Rev., 1805-1890
Title Letter to the Friends and Subscribers of the Church Pastoral-Aid Society
occasioned by a letter from the Rev. Dr. Molesworth
Credits Transcribed from the 1841 L. and G. Seeley edition by David Price
Summary "Letter to the Friends and Subscribers of the Church Pastoral-Aid Society" by the Rev. Caleb Whitefoord is a religious pamphlet written in the early 19th century, specifically in 1841. This publication serves as a response to allegations made against the Church Pastoral-Aid Society by the Rev. Dr. Molesworth, who questioned the Society's policies and practices. The book revolves around theological and pastoral concerns, particularly the role of clergy and the efficacy of the Society in providing spiritual aid. In the letter, Whitefoord defends the Church Pastoral-Aid Society against Molesworth's critiques, asserting its necessity in supporting the Church despite unworthy individuals occasionally entering the ministry. He argues for the Society’s principle of vetting candidates for clergy positions funded by its grants, emphasizing the importance of maintaining doctrinal integrity and the credibility of those it supports. Throughout the text, Whitefoord cites various Church authorities who endorse the Society's work, highlighting its contributions to spiritual outreach and addressing the spiritual needs of the population. Ultimately, Whitefoord calls upon subscribers to remain steadfast in their support of the Society, countering Molesworth's claims with a robust defense of the Society's mission and effectiveness.
