Rebuilding Britain

CHAPTER XIII
5/10

Conversely it might be a wholesome thing if a Bishop or other well-known Episcopalian clergyman occasionally spoke to the great congregations in such familiar London meeting-places as the Newington Tabernacle or the City Temple.

They might be trusted not to choose Apostolic Succession as their subject.
Joint religious services have already been held, and the practice might be extended.

The Bishop of London has been seen in Hyde Park on the platform with representative men from the Wesleyans, Independents (it is pleasanter to use the old name rather than "Congregationalist," which may be correct, but is hideous), and Presbyterians, with a band from the Salvation Army in attendance.

Such things do good, and are the best reply to the orators by the Reformers' Tree, whose most effective weapon is to sneer--not unnaturally--at the enmity amongst Christians.

A "church" parade for the Volunteers has in a village been held in the Baptist chapel, and many who had never entered a Nonconformist place of worship before, felt how real "unity of spirit" did exist.
Another fruitful opportunity for joint work is in the realm of study and of theological education.
