Farewell to Anglicanism
Herbert Carson is fondly remembered by many as a fine preacher, a pastor and a friend. His keen intellect was matched by a warm and gracious spirit; we give thanks to God for the testimony of his life and ministry.
Bill James
Of his writings, the most personal was the little book Farewell to Anglicanism - an autobiographical account of his resignation as Vicar of St. Paul's Church, Cambridge, and secession from the Anglican Church in November 1964. Some extracts are reprinted here (with page references to the H.E. Walter edition of 1969). They are reminders of Herbert's personal struggle, and raise issues which are still relevant today.
