Abstract

The Outlook For Church Union
September 24, 1891 issue

add to cart   close window

It was in 1886 that the bishops of the Episcopal Church made their Chicago Declaration, laying down the four fundamentals upon which they asked all Protestant churches to unite. When their proposals for church union, or at least church federation, were ratified by the bishops of the English Church at Lambeth, in 1888, a great deal of enthusiasm was aroused in various other denominations. It seemed for a time as if the latest attempt to unify divided Protestantism might meet with a fair degree of success; but the turn of more recent discussion and action shows that it is to have no more immediate or practical effect than foregoing efforts of the sort.
