Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our National Church: A Sermon Preached at the Anniversary Service of the Church of England Institute at Trinity Church, St. John, October 15th, 1902 And so the New Testament, while vastly widening the horizon, and declaring that sacrifice and circumcision are fulfilled and superseded, yet does practically recognize the existence of separate Christian communities, with different gifts, needs and weaknesses, stirs them to noble emulation in good works, and proclaims ultimate reunion as a glorious ideal of a distant future. Many will recollect how admirably this is illustrated by Bishop Lightfoot in his classical treatise upon the Christian Ministry. He shows how, ideally, the Kingdom of Christ has no sacred days, no sanctuaries, no sacerdotal system. Yet, practically, all these things, ministry, churches, and appointed days, are found necessary, and receive Divine sanction. Still the Apostles never lost sight of the ideal in their teaching, and their principle should be ours. Accordingly there is a two-fold aspect to be considered: the universal and the particular, the Church Catholic, nobly defined in the Bidding Prayer as the "congregation of Christian people dispersed throughout the whole world," and the Church National, whether established as in the mother-land, or claiming the allegiance of her members by sanctions no less solemn, and memories no less illustrious.
