Excerpt from Christendom Anno Domini M D C C C C I, Vol. 1: A Presentation of Christian Conditions and Activities in Every Country of the World at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century by More Than Sixty Competent ContributorsThe complex institutionalism of Christianity further com plicates the problem. If Christendom were but an expansion of the simple circle that gathered at the first around the Person of the Lord, the effort to compute the lengthening radii would be easy. But the evolution of Christendom has proceeded through countless subdivisions of institutional forces, and countless re organizations of those subdivisions. The East has withdrawn from the West and the West has been torn asunder by Protest ant secessions. Protestantism has broken up into sectarian groups, and the modern growth of the Spirit of brotherhood within Protestantism has recombined fragments of those groups along the lines of co-operative service. To stand in the midst of this intricate institutionalism and pronounce upon its values is no easy task.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
