Editor Vashon Island Record
While the question of working
in union is being considered by
the two churches in Burton, it
may be of interest TO read few
quotations from an article on the
subject in a recent issue of the
Mail and Empire, published in
Toronto, Can.
One of the examples of church
union most fixed in the memories
of your Christian readers is that
of Kikuga in 1913, when the
church of England bishops of
Mombasa and Uganda British
East Africa wound up a christian
conference by celebrating holy
communion in a Presbyterian
church, and at which Anglicans
and various denominations of
non-conformists partook. "
Again: "The late bishop of Her
eford invited his brethren of the
Free churches to a special partici-
patton of the Lords Supper at
Hereford cathedral. =
THE present bishop of Here
ford is as charitably minded to-
ward non-conformists as his pred
ecessor. In 1917, as dean of Dur
ham he gave it as his opinion that
the only reunion of Christendom
which would be sound or could
be permanent must be built on
those evangelical principles which
were reaffirmed at the Reforma-
ton. Therefore | would gladly
labor for the closer association in
work and worship of Anglicians
and non-conformists. Last 0eto-
Der he opened the church council
gatherings at Hereford by preach
ing in the Congregational chapel. =
The present dean Of Durham
also manifests marked desire for
Christian unity, and says What
ever can be done without sacrifice
OF principle to unite the Christian
churches is well worth doing.
Bishop Carlisle, in referring to
the subject, says, 81 value spirit
ual unity and Christian charity
immeasurabIy more than official
union. etc.
The bishop of Chelmsford also
calls for further raproaehment
between the churches, adding that
this has been one of the most
striking results of the war.
The Rev. G. II. Bebb, Baptist
minister of Peterborough, publicly
stated last December, I'VE can,
with clear conscience. put aside
question of church government
and deliver a message which may
help and inspire our respective
congregations.
