520 _a"Rites and Ritual: A Plea for Apostolic Doctrine and Worship" by Philip Freeman is a theological treatise written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the observed deviations of the English Church from what Freeman considers the authentic practices of the early Christian Church, particularly concerning the frequency of the Eucharistic celebration and the proper rituals associated with it. The author argues for a return to an apostolic form of worship, emphasizing the importance of aligning contemporary practices with historical doctrines and rituals. The opening of the text sets the stage for Freeman's critical examination of the state of worship within the English Church, expressing his concern that many current practices deviate significantly from the foundational principles established by Christ and the apostles. He reflects on the historical context, lamenting the reduced frequency of Eucharistic celebrations, which he claims undermines the Church's spiritual health and vitality. Freeman seeks to contrast the richness of early Christian rituals with the contemporary practices, advocating for a revival of the apostolic traditions that he believes would restore the Church's integrity and essence.
