Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and Its Polity In the meantime, the Rev. William Durant, of Albany, N. Y., an intelligent and enthusiastic pupil of my father, was struck with the vast amount of valuable discussion of Church principles and their practical applications, contained in these articles. He believed that if selections from these discussions were judiciously made and systemati cally grouped, a work of great value might be offered to the ministry, and to those intelligent laymen who are interested in the administration of ecclesiastical affairs. He consequently accomplished this work with the cordial approval of my father. After its completion, at the request of Mr. Durant, I subjected his work to a general review, and have now entire confidence in thus publicly testifying to my conviction that in the selection and arrangement of extracts, the reader of this work will have a fair, and, as far as the circumstances admit, an adequate exposition of my father's views, expressed in his own language, on all the subjects set forth in the table of contents. This table of contents itself discloses the wide range and the thorough analysis embraced in these discussions; and hence the very considerable contribution made in this volume to the elucidation of the subject set forth on its title page.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Polity: Or the Kingdom of Christ, in Its Internal and External Development Church polity has become the absorbing topic of the Christian world. In common with all thinking men, I have devoted considerable time to its examination; and have made some progress in the preparation of a vol ume with the design of exhibiting the polity of the New Testament, and tracing the gradual departures from it in the churches which succeeded those planted by the apostles. The completion of the work, on the plan pro posed, will require several years, even under circum stances the most favorable to the prosecution of my labors. Perhaps I may not complete it at all. I have, therefore, yielded the more readily to the suggestion of my worthy friend, the editor of the Periodical Lib rary, to prepare a smaller work, which is now sub mitted to the public. May the great Shepherd and Bishop of souls bless it to the instruction of the flock, for which he labored and died.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Church Polity "And, therefore, it is good we return unto the ancient bonds of unity in the Church of God, which was one faith, one baptism, and not one hierarchy, one discipline; and that we observe the league of Christians, as it is penned by our Savior, which is, in substance of doctrine, this: He that is not with us, is against us; but in things indifferent, and only of circumstance, this: He that is not against us, is with us. In these things, so as the general rules be observed, that Christ's flock be fed, that there be a succession in bishops and ministers, which are the prophets of the New Testament, that those that preach the Gospel, live of the Gospel, that all things tend to edification, that all things be done in order and decency, and the like; the rest is left to the holy wisdom and spiritual discretion of the master builders and inferior builders in Christ's Church, as it is excellently alluded by that Father who noted that Christ's garment was without seam, and yet the church's garment was of diverse colors; and, thereupon, setteth down for a rule, in veste varietas sit, scissura non sit." Lord Bacon, on the Pacification of the Church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Principles of Church Polity Classic Reprint written by George T. Ladd and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Church Polity If an apology is to be made for the appearance of these Lectures in the form of a book, it is best that this apology should express frankly the motives for such appearance which lie in the authors mind. It seemed to him in some sense due to the Lectureship which he has filled for three years, that it should add something to the general literature of its theme. Lectures written on paper, whatever they may accomplish as lectures, perish with the using; but the printed volume, whether it have many readers or few, at least for a time remains. Moreover, the reading done in preparation for this writing has convinced the author that his treatment of the subject has some small claim to a certain originality and freshness of form. This impression has been confirmed by the testimony of a few friends, among whom, however, may be counted one who was not long since a master of the whole subject here treated in such a fragmentary way. That there is now great need of candid and reasonable discussion of all those principles which enter into the constitution and government of Christian churches, few will doubt. It is certain that such need is manifested among those leaders and churches which bear the Congregational name; nor is this need confined to them alone.

In Australia the same denominations are approaching each other with a view to union; and in that colony - most remark able phenomenon of all - negotiations for union have been opened between the Presbyterian and Anglican Churches.

By social sympathy they would live and act together as circumstances might permit; mutually bless ing and being blessed in their fellowship.
