Excerpt from The Level Plan for Church UnionWithin each of the national Churches which compose the Anglican Communion there is a large and influential school which makes much of what is characterized as the prophetic office of the Christian priesthood, and would close the doors of pulpits against all who have not received ordination to the Ministry by a representative of the Historic Episcopate.This school, which contains many of the most saintly, earnest and learned among our Ministers and People, is, I believe, quite right in the importance which it attaches to the prophetic office. The world is to be saved very largely by "the foolishness of preaching, " not prosaic teaching, but prophetic preaching.I am in complete sympathy with this school in its contention so far as it relates to the existence and importance of the prophetic mission.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
