Hugh Black Christ's Service of Love of Love (Classic Reprint) internet üzerinden ibook

Communion. I have purposely left out doctrinal discussion and controversial themes. The celebration of the Lords Supper should be a centre of union to all Christian hearts, instead of being, as it often is, the very symbol of exclusion. In utter perversity we even use the word to represent what separates Churches from each other instead of what should really unite them; we speak of the Roman Communion, the Episcopal or Presbyterian or Baptist Communion. It is an offence. We seem to think it quite natural for a Church to draw the line here, to be willing to have other Chris tians worship with them and work together with them for common Christian purposes, but not to unite here where, if we truly think of it, we can alone have true union. We have allowed the word to be used as a synonym for sectarianism, and we speak of our Communion, meaning not the fellowship of the Christian faith but the sectional fellowship of a particular denomina tion. Rather, wherever else there may be division or at least separate life, it ought not to be here at the common feast which stands for the heart of hearts of our faith.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
