Christian Marriage Indissoluble, by James Galloway Cowan 64733 [Subtitle: A Plain Sermon] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/7/3/64733 ] [Files: 64733-0.txt; 64733-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Rev. James Galloway Cowan (1828-1875) was a Church of England minister who had a reputation for excellent preaching. He became the minister at Hammersmith, west London, in the 1860's and this links him to my research interest. Although he published some collections of sermons, when a topic was "hot" he'd publish an individual sermon so that his views could be known in Hammersmith. This sermon, in response to the 1857 Divorce Act says that the Church didn't recognise any divorce - a bit rich considering the Church of England came out of Henry's need for a divorce! He's very readable and doesn't take the usual oft-repeated arguments. All the best, David, Overcast England PS. Cowan had a lot of children and his first wife died: he remarried but died within a year aged 48. This second wife ended up as step-mother to a whole house of grown-up children decades later.
