The Dean of Durhamin

I notice that in a western diocese a number of clergymen have addressed a formal protest to their bishop because a nonconformist minister has been allowed to take some small part in a national service of commemoration within the cathedral. Have these clergymen learned nothing from the long years of the war? Can they not see that if the old divisions, the old antagonisms, are to hold the churches apart, and to keep them forever from reunion or intercommunion, the church of Christ herself will be in danger of being lost? So, too, the nations of the world are called to abandon the old secret methods of diplomacy, and the old suspicious principles of the balance of power, that they may treat one another as Christian gentlemen.
