*Also, the mentions of Richard Hooker by Russel Kirk and Gary Dorrien are as follows:

“Hooker’s fundamental aim, to defend the Elizabethan settlement, was deeply conservative, as was his theology… Yet his commitment to the authority of reason and his ecumenical ecclesiology planted the seeds of Anglican Latitudinarianism and Broad Church Liberalism.”- Gary Dorrien from Kantian Reason and Hegelian Spirit: The Idealistic Logic of Modern Theology (Wiley Blackwell & Sons, 2012) p. 109
