[Charlotte Bronte to her publisher, W. S. Williams, 23 December 1847:]

'The notice in the "Church of England Journal" gratified me much, and chiefly because it was the "Church of England Journal." Whatever such critics as he of the "Mirror" may say, I love the Church of England. Her ministers, indeed, I do not regard as infallible personages. I have seen too much of them for that, but as to the Establishment, with all her faults — the profane Athanasian creed excluded — I am sincerely attached.'
