Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book consists of a letter from Bishop Cummins to Bishop Smith, and Bishop Lee's open letter in response to Bishop Cummins. Bishop Cummins outlines his motivations for leaving the communion of the church, finding fault with the doctrines and practices surrounding rituals. Bishop Lee counters these allegations with an impassioned argument for unity within the church, expressing hope that a basis for unity can be found, creating a communion retaining a primitive episcopacy and a pure scriptural liturgy with fidelity to the doctrine of justification by faith only. This book provides an insight into the complexities of the ecclesiastical controversies of the time and offers a thoughtful analysis of the nature of unity within the church.
