Excerpt from The American Episcopal Church: Interpreted for English Churchmen The scope of this book is limited to the presentation of the history of the American Church in those aspects Which help towards an understanding of its peculiar problems and local and national environment. The Catholic Church is one and the same everywhere. The life of the Catholic Church at different periods and among various nationalities and political cir cumstances emphasises certain related features. The drawing together during the war of allied nations has deepened or created a desire on the part of the Church among such nations to under stand better the characteristics Which underlie the Christian presentation of the Church. This volume is intended to be a contribution to such fuller appreciation and understanding, rather than a, detailed history of the American Church, Written primarily for American Churchmen.

Excerpt from First Principles: Nine Essays From the American Churchman It is one of the startling things in our modern religious condition, this that we speak of. It took the writer's mind and thought, from his entrance on his work among these men, as a young and inexperienced Deacon. It has been the phenomenon which has faced him since in.

Excerpt from The Making of a Churchman It offers to Christians of all names a practical statement of the Church's position to grant life, and shows them how to attain the bless ings in store for them. It is definite without being controversial. It presents history with out tediousness. It seeks to win rather than repel. If it shall help one soul, if it shall benefit the life of the Church for which Christ died, it shall not have appeared in vain.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from Catholicity of the New Church: And Uncatholicity of New-Churchmen The apostle, I think, justifies such expectation, when he says, that the body is not one member, but many; and that there ought to be no schism in the body, but the members should have the same care one of another. A more beautiful illustration than this, of variety in unity, cannot be conceived. For what more various in form and function, than the multitudinous parts of the human body 2 Yet how admirably are they all combined in one, and with what perfect harmony do they work together, each re joicing or su 'ering with all the rest 1 This illustrates Paul's idea of the church of Christ; for he adds: Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. It is also Swedenborg's oft repeated illustration of the Lord's kingdom in heaven as well as on earth. His whole doctrine concerning the Grand Man, is but an amplification of the same idea. But to this enlarged and catholic view of the church, Sectarian ism is forever opposed. It is unable to see how unity can co-exist with variety. It regards diversity as incompatible with harmony. In its own nature contracted and anti-christian, it cannot admit that there is any truth outside of its own formulas, or any good ness difi'erent from its own variety, or any church wider than its own communion. It makes its own creed the measure of all others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
