A Letter of affectionate remonstrance addressed to the members of the Established Church in Norwich and in Norfolk and occasioned by the proposed exclusive system of infant education
Transcribed from the 1836 J. Fletcher edition by David Price
"A Letter of Affectionate Remonstrance Addressed to the Members of the Established Church" by John Alexander is a religious pamphlet written during the early 19th century. It serves as a critical appeal to the members of the Established Church regarding the exclusivity of a proposed infant education system in Norwich. The likely topic revolves around the need for unity among different Christian denominations in the moral and religious education of children. In the letter, Alexander expresses his concerns about a movement within the Established Church to form an exclusive society for promoting the infant school system, which would exclude nonconformists and Dissenters from participation. He emphasizes the collaborative spirit that has historically governed the infant schools in Norwich, which welcomed children from various denominations and focused on non-sectarian education. By urging members to reconsider their actions and embrace inclusivity, Alexander argues that such exclusivity could deepen divisions in the Christian community and diminish the fundamental Christian principles of charity, unity, and love for all. He calls for a collective effort in educating children, emphasizing that spiritual education should transcend denominational lines, reinforcing the idea that infants should be taught in an environment of shared Christian unity.
