Excerpt from The Recovery of the Lost Sheep of the Church of England by Home Missions in Her Large and Destitute Parishes: A Sermon Preached at the Opening of the Mission Chapel, Calvert Street, S. George's, East, on Thursday, November 27, 1856 This fundamental principle of the Church in her parishes seems to have been entirely lost sight of in most modern schemes for Church extension. And whilst the Church, through her Bishops, has given, by the solemn act of institution, the cure of the souls of a parish to one Priest; the State, through certain Church Building Acts, has given (or has afiected to give) exclusive cure of souls of parts of such parish to other Priests.
