Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The United Church of the United States
In the following year the House of Bishops of the Protest ant Episcopal Church at Chicago issued the proposals, after ward amended by the Lambeth Conference of 1888, and now known as the Quadrilateral or Four Articles of Church Unity. The author has advocated these articles in a paper read before various circles of representative divines in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, and before several public assemblies, after introductory addresses by President Seth Low, of Columbia College; by President Daniel Gilman, of the Johns Hopkins University, and by the Hon. Justice William Strong, of the United States Supreme Court. It is here reproduced, with a review of some of the valuable opin ions to which it gave expression. The other essays refer to different practical aspects of the question as still under discussion; and two essays have been added, which are designed to illustrate the unifying value of the English liturgy among the Christian denominations, and the momentous importance of church unity as a Sociological' Question.
