[THANEHOOD.] thelyphonid Theistic Church, s. Church Hist.: A Church founded in London in 1871 for the purpose of promulgating the theistic views of the Rev. Mr. C. Voysey," which the decision of the Privy Council (1870) has debarred him from preaching as vicar of He a laugh." Among the promoters were many eminent men, notably Dr. Patrick Black, Sir John Bowring, Charles Darwin, Sir Charles Lyell, Andrew Pritchard, Judge Stansfeld, the Right Rev. Samuel Hinds, formerly Bishop of Norwich, and many others. Their leading principles are: 1. That it is the right and duty of every man to think for himself in matters of religion. 2. That there is no finality in religious beliefs; that higher views of God are always po ible. 3. That it is our duty to obtain the highest truth, and to proclaim it and to detect and controvert errors. 4. That religion is based on morality. 5. That Theism is not aggre ive against persons, only against erroneous opinions. Their belief may be summarized thus: 1. That there is one living and true God, and there is no other God beside Him. 2. That He is perfect in power, wisdom, and goodne , and therefore every one is safe in His everlasting care. 3. Therefore that none can ever perish or remain eternally ir suffering or in sin, but all shall reach at last a home of goodne and ble edne in Him. thê-kěl, s.
