Inhaltsangabe

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.

Excerpt from The Comprehensive Church: Or, Christian Unity and Ecclesiastical Union in the Protestant Episcopal Church

Much has been said and published, of late years, on the subject of Christian Union - not enough to accomplish it, but enough to show that the minds of Christians are open to the inconveniences and dangers of sectarian divisions, and that their hearts are longing for some closer and happier communion than is allowed by the present divided state of the Christian Church. The many proofs presented daily, that Christians desire to be united, are encouraging to our hopes; while, at the same time, there is discouragement in the fact that the public mind seems to have settled down despondingly under the impression that no feasible plan can be proposed for the accomplishment of its desire.

The writer thinks that a capital mistake has been committed in the course of inquiry which has been generally pursued on this subject.
