| Summary | "Letters to the Clergy on the Lord's Prayer and the Church" by John Ruskin is a collection of theological letters written in the late 19th century. The letters engage the clergy in a discourse about the interpretation of the Lord's Prayer and the responsibilities of clergymen within the Church of England. They aim to provoke a deeper understanding and more rigorous practice of Christian teachings, emphasizing the importance of articulating the essence of the Gospel for the benefit of both clergy and laity. The opening of the text sets the stage for an earnest dialogue between Ruskin and clergy members, initiating with a proposal shared by the Rev. F. A. Malleson. Ruskin expresses his willingness to contribute written letters that address the questions and concerns of these clergy, specifically urging them to redefine their roles. He underscores the necessity for clergymen to avoid complacency and engage deeply with the teachings contained within the Lord's Prayer, positing that clarity and simplicity in conveying these teachings will enrich their congregations. The letters further explore the implications of the Lord's Prayer in teaching and moral duty, encouraging clergymen to reflect on their spiritual leadership and articulate a more profound understanding of faith to their communities.
