Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eight Annual Address of the Bishop of the Diocese of Illinois, 1859 Brethren of the Clergy and Laity: We are convened in our annual assembly, constituting the Twenty-Second Convention of the Diocese of Illinois, In the familiar title of our body, we are reminded of privilege and responsibility; and in the recurrence of its session, of the advance by another year on our mortal way to the grave for our flesh, and to judgment for our souls. The term Convention has become so natural to us that we cease to remember that it represents a privilege which our American branch of the Church alone enjoys. It is the assembly of three Orders, in the Bishop, the Clergy, and the Laity - the first in his official right, the ministry as entitled by their work, and the laymen as the chosen representatives of the respective parishes which have sought and been admitted into union. In much of our current action we blend into one, and move as a popular assembly, with a general vote, and simple majority. But in elections and special questions provision is made for the fundamental distinction of Holy Orders, and the Lay representation. The meeting of such an assembly presents an occasion for a high and grateful form of Christian fellowship, where common duties, trials and blessings underlie the sympathy, and the feelings find vent and object in spiritual worship, communion, and work for the Church of Christ.
