Project Gutenberg 2004-05-01 Public domain in the USA. 232 Ware, Sedley Lynch 1868 The Elizabethan Parish in its Ecclesiastical and Financial Aspects Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Keith M. Eckrich and PG Distributed Proofreaders "The Elizabethan Parish in its Ecclesiastical and Financial Aspects" by Sedley Lynch Ware is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intricate relationship between ecclesiastical governance and financial management within the English parish during the Elizabethan era. This work aims to fill a significant gap in the existing scholarship surrounding parish institutions, particularly focusing on how parishes contributed to both the local community and governance during a time of substantial change. The opening of the book introduces its central theme, detailing how the ecclesiastical administration of the parish was deeply intertwined with local governance and community life. Ware highlights the various roles of churchwardens, ministers, and other parish officers in enforcing not only spiritual but also civil obligations on parishioners. This section emphasizes the administrative nature of ecclesiastical courts, illustrating how they had the authority to enforce attendance at church services, administer church maintenance, and manage parish finances through a comprehensive account of duties and regulations imposed upon parishioners. The interplay of local society with religious authority forms the backbone of Ware's discussion, laying the groundwork for a deeper understanding of how the parish functioned in both realms during the Elizabethan period.
