Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Oxford Movement
Oriental Communions, but is especially noticeable amongst the multitudinous sects of Protestantism, in all those countries Where Protestantism prevails, of which Great Britain and the United States of America are, perhaps, the most conspicuous examples. Those among Protestants who are not sceptics, or, absolutely indifferent to all religion, seem (as Cardinal Newman described them) to be in a fog, and never quite certain of the ground on which they stand. They feel the want of unity and discipline, and deplore their own want of it; they admire what they see in this direction in the Catholic Church, but they appear to be unwilling to submit to her authority and embrace her teaching.
One of the most striking features of present-day Anglicans (clergy as well as Iaity) is not only their desire for unity in their own communion, but their assumption that it already exists, a unity that can only be even nominally attained by a skilful avoidance of doctrinal points at their episcopal meetings.
