Excerpt from The Call to Unity: The Bedell Lectures for 1919 Delivered at Kenyon College, May 24th and 25th, 1920 These lectures, delivered some months ago, were put in form for publication before the recent meeting of the Lambeth Conference. That gathering of the Bishops of the Anglican Church has issued a Declaration on Reunion which will challenge the attention of Christians everywhere, and will give new impetus to the movement towards unity. To the author of these lectures it is reassuring to find that what had been written is wholly in accord with this latest pronouncement by those entitled to speak for the Anglican Communion. Especially it is interesting to find that the suggestion, in the fourth lecture, as to mutual acceptance of added authorization for the work of the Ministry, is definitely put forth in the Lambeth Declaration. Among the volumes consulted in connection with these lectures there are two to which I feel under special obligation. One of these is The Church and Religious Unity, by the, Revd. Herbert Kelly, a masterly and most truly helpful discussion of the subject from the Catholic point of view, the other is Pathways to Christian Unity, by six distinguished Free Church writers, a volume so earnest in its plea for unity, and so Christian in its spirit, that it is a refreshment to ones faith and hope to read it.
