Synopsis

This book proposes a plan for uniting the various Christian denominations in the United States into one comprehensive church, arguing that divisions in the church are unnecessary and harmful. The author, a prominent Episcopal clergyman, believed that the Protestant Episcopal Church was the best model for such a comprehensive church, as it combined elements from both the Catholic and Protestant traditions and allowed for a wide range of theological and liturgical practices. The author discusses the history of Christian divisions, the nature of the church, and the principles of unity, and argues that the benefits of unity far outweigh the costs. This book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion of Christian unity, and its insights are still relevant today.
