Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Position of the Evangelical Party in the Episcopal Church
IT is from no desire to intermeddle with the inter nal affairs of another denomination of Christians, that we introduce to our readers the subject which we have placed at the head of this article. Nor is it from any wish to take advantage of the present troubles and growing dissensions of' the Episcopal Church to make converts to our better faith, or to make reprisals for the accessions which they have sought to gain from the disputes and divisions of other denominations. We have listened in calmer times with preper interest to their proclamations of their own unity, while other churches have been rent into factions, or threatened with schism. We have seen a few from other churches, charmed with this proclamation of' unity, and professedly won by the hope of peace, leave the connections in which they were trained, and attach themselves to Episco pacy. But they have not been men whose departure the churches have had occasion to regard as a serious calamity, or whose recovery would be worth any very serious efi'ort. We are content that they should minister in their new connection, we hope with greater.
