Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays, Vol. 2: Critical and Historical
The Objection which we have in mind, concisely stated, is this: on the one hand, that unity is the tenure of divine favour; that communion with our brethren is the means of communion with our Lord and Saviour; that the Church is not only Apostolic, but Catholic that schism cuts Off the fountains of grace and that es'trange ment from the Christian world is schism; and, on the other, that in matter Of fact our Church is emphatically in a state Of estrangement, having intercourse with no other Christian body in any part of the world, except ing her own dependencies and offshoots. This is the point, which deserves, as we think, to be attentively considered; we make no pretences and have no hopes of doing justice to it in the pages of a Review yet it is something to direct attention to it, and so much we propose to do in the pages which follow.
