The Comprehensive Church: Or Christian Unity And Ecclesiastical Union In The Protestant Episcopal Church (1878)

The Comprehensive Church: Or Christian Unity And Ecclesiastical Union In The Protestant Episcopal Church is a book written by Thomas Hubbard Vail in 1878. The book is focused on the idea of Christian unity and ecclesiastical union within the Protestant Episcopal Church. Vail argues that the church should be comprehensive and inclusive, allowing for different theological perspectives and practices to coexist within the same organization. He also argues that the church should be more focused on practical matters, such as social justice and community outreach, rather than theological debates. The book provides historical context for the development of the Protestant Episcopal Church and offers suggestions for how it can better serve its members and the wider community. Overall, The Comprehensive Church is a call for unity and inclusivity within the church, and a reminder of the importance of practical action in the pursuit of Christian ideals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
