Excerpt from Godly Union and Concord: Sermons Preached Mainly in Westminster Abbey in the Interest of Christian Fraternity It will be impertinent, and I think also superfluous, to preface this volume with anything of the nature of a personal apology: but I hold myself bound to state frankly that, on the particular contention which has attracted most public notice in the sermons here published, viz., the explicit repudiation of the conventional doctrine of Apostolic Succession, I have definitely and deliberately gone back on former declarations of my own. Some ten years ago I wrote a letter to the Times protesting against the action of the late Bishop of Worcester in admitting Nonconformists to communion at Grindelwald, and a little later I wrote to the Guardian criticising a sermon of Archdeacon Sinclair which advocated a recognition of the non-episcopal Churches. I hold myself bound to draw public attention to the fact that I have come to think that I was wrong, and Bishop Perowne and Archdeacon Sinclair right on those issues. One of the wisest and best men I know once gave me this counsel, which at the time, and often since, has been of much service to me, "never waste your soul in bewailing the blunders that you made honestly when trying to do right."
