Excerpt from Church and Faith: Being Essays on the Teaching of the Church of England In the autumn of last year some efforts were made to bring about a conference between men who belong to different sections of our Church, with the hope of removing mutual misunderstandings, and so composing differences and promoting a spirit of goodwill. These well-meant efforts failed, as was inevitable under the circumstances, but the attempt may serve to remind us that the method most likely to attain this end, and in some degree to fulfil the hopes then expressed, is the plain declaration of fundamental principles and facts, a full and frank exposition of what we hold to be the truth, and a dispassionate examination of points of difference. Even if such a method fails to convince some readers, it has the undoubted recommendation that it helps to clear the air, and causes men to look afresh to the grounds of their belief and practice. It is in fact the true educational method, and furnishes the only sure basis for any practical eirenicon.
