Political Stance and Controversies
These addresses added fuel to an existing controversy, and created tension at a time of political strain. King Charles I had wished to have related sermons by Robert Sibthorpe printed; but George Abbot, the Archbishop of Canterbury, resisted. Making use of William Laud and other bishops, Charles had his way. In fact Laud had prompted Maynwaring to his topic, and pressed George Montaigne to license for publication both Sibthorpe’s and Maynwaring’s texts, as Religion and Alegiance (1627).

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or stance:
“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgement, will probably for ever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ... am in favour of the race to which I belong having the superior position.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
