BANGORIAN CONTROVERSY , a theological dispute in the See also:early 18th See also:century which originated in 1716 with the See also:posthumous publication of See also:George See also:Hickes's (See also:bishop of See also:Thetford) Constitution of the See also:Christian See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church, and the Nature and Consequences of See also:Schism, in which he excommunicated all but the non-juringchurchmen. See also:Benjamin See also:Hoadly (q.v.), the newly-appointed bishop of See also:Bangor, scented the opportunity and wrote a speedy and able reply, Preservative against the Principles and Practices of Non-Jurors, in which his own Erastian position was recommended and sincerity proposed as the only test of truth. This was followed by his famous See also:sermon, preached before George I. on the 31st of See also:March 1717, on The Nature of the See also:Kingdom or Church of See also:Christ. In this discourse " he impugned the See also:idea of the existence of any visible church at all, ridiculed the value of any tests of orthodoxy, and poured contempt upon the claims of the church to govern itself by means of the See also:state." He identified the church with the kingdom of Heaven—it was therefore " not of this See also:world," and Christ had not delegated His authority to any representatives. Both See also:book and sermon were reported on by a See also:committee appointed by the See also:Lower See also:House of See also:Convocation in May, and steps would have been taken by the See also:archbishop and bishops had not the See also:government stepped in (Hoadly denied that this was at his See also:request) and prorogued Convocation till See also:November. Hoadly himself wrote A Reply to the Representations of Convocation and also answered his See also:principal critics, among whom were See also:- THOMAS

Thomas See also:Sherlock (q.v.), then See also:dean of See also:Chichester, See also:Andrew Snape, See also:provost of See also:Eton, and See also:Francis See also:Hare, then dean of See also:Worcester. These three men, and another opponent, See also:Robert See also:Moss, dean of See also:Ely, were deprived of their royal chaplaincies. Hoadly was shrewd enough not to See also:answer the rnost brilliant, though comparatively unknown, of his antagonists, See also:- WILLIAM

William See also:Law. Though the controversy went on, its most important result had already been achieved in the silencing of Convocation, for that See also:body, though it had just " seemed to be settling down to its proper See also:work in dealing with the real exigencies of the church" when the Hoadly dispute arose, did not meet again for the despatch of business for nearly a century and a See also:half.
