The Church Handy Dictionary

"The Church Handy Dictionary" by Anonymous is a late 1800s guide that explains Church of England terms for church members. It's meant to be a useful tool for anyone involved with church events, religious education, or learning about church history and traditions. It starts with a message honoring Bishop Christopher Wordsworth, showing its importance within the church. The introduction explains that the book is a collection of information put together to show the Church of England's views. The first entries offer insight into important ideas and actions, such as "Altar," "Baptism," and "Absolution," clarifying their meanings and historical importance for readers at the time.
