Excerpt from Apostolic Order and Unity

A residence of thirty-five years (1858-1893) as a missionary of the Church Missionary Society, in the Punjab and Persia, has naturally taught me to regard the differences of ecclesiastical organisation between various Christian Churches as of trifling importance, compared with the gulf which separates Christendom from Heathendom.

In both those lands I found missionaries of non-Episcopal Churches, in Great Britain and America, doing just as great and good a work for Christ as we were doing, and, so far from being able to look down on them as in any way inferior to myself, I esteemed it a privilege to sit at the feet of a Duff in Calcutta, a Wilson in Bombay, a Newton in the Punjab, and many others, and seek to learn of them the best means to win souls for Christ.
