Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Unity and Rome The author, in undertaking the present volume, has had in mind the varying reception with which the terms of re-union, as recently proposed at Lambeth, have been received - a lack of agreement voicing itself on both sides of the ecclesiastical fence. Denominational Christians, who threw off government by Bishops at the Reformation, are quite naturally refusing to accept now what they rejected then. The general attitude of the reformers, however, went further than a mere rejection of "prelacy." Their position included some very radical changes regarding the nature of the ministry itself. They rejected priesthood and sacrifice in the Catholic sense, substituting for them the prophetical, or preaching, office. From their side of the fence, accordingly, have been heard numerous refusals to accept re-ordination at the hands of Anglican Bishops. On the other hand within the Anglican Communion, including of course the Episcopal Church in the United States, the opinion has been expressed that too much concession to the Sects contains elements of danger, and will defeat the goal aimed at. Every lover of Unity must respect the good intentions of the Lambeth Fathers. The need of a re-united Church is very great. As we understand it. Unity is the will of Christ, as expressed by those words, "Father, I pray that they may be One, even as we are One." The crux of the matter then seems not to lie in the noble aspiration for Unity, but rather in the way and means to this end.
