Today we continue with our featured Anglican theologian for the week, John Keble. You will recall from yesterday that Keble was instrument in the rebirth of the Anglo-Catholic movement within Anglicanism and keenly interested in restoring the Church of England. Today’s writing reflects this.

The surest way to uphold or restore our endangered church will be for each of her anxious children, in his own place and station, to resign himself more thoroughly to his God and Savior in those duties, public and private, which are not immediately affected by the emergencies of the moment: the daily and hourly duties, I mean, of piety, purity, charity, justice.
