About the author
Edwin Proctor Denniss was an English religious writer associated with the Church of England. The main work that can be confirmed for him is Obedience to the Articles and Rubrics of the Church of England, a short 19th-century tract or sermon on church order, doctrine, and clerical discipline.
Available catalog and public-domain records identify him as living from 1801 to 1854. Because surviving biographical information appears to be very limited, details about his wider life and career are hard to confirm with confidence.
What does come through clearly in his writing is a concern for unity within the established church and for obedience to its formal standards. Readers interested in Anglican history, church practice, or Victorian religious debate may find his work a compact window into those concerns.
