Monday Quote - IV.


"It is a cause for sorrow that denominational divisions are so many; and that they have often been both cause and consequence of unchristian feeling. Yet when men part peaceably to carry out their deliberate convictions, to which they cannot give effect together, and when in doing so they do not unchurch or condemn one another, there may be less offence against Christian charity than when a commuion, professedly one, is the scene of bitterness and strife. In either case indeed there is something to regret, and probably something to blame; but the former of the two cases is by no means necessarily the worse."

Principal Robert Rainy 'The Epistle to the Philippians' (London, Hodder and Stoughton, 1904) Pp. 105-6
