Inhaltsangabe

This sermon-free, clear-eyed study traces how church power and unity have shaped faith, from early Christianity to modern Anglicans.

No Continuing City: A Sermon for the Disillusioned, preached in 1891, examines how the idea of a single, universal Church has been understood and sometimes distorted. It argues that true ministry should rest on faith and service, not on exclusive priestly power. The author contrasts Anglican reforms with Roman Catholic claims, asking readers to value a shared Gospel over rigid hierarchies. The work invites readers to rethink church authority, ministry, and the meaning of being one Church in a diverse world.

Through historical insight and pointed argument, this edition invites reflection on how churches define themselves and how believers participate in worship, governance, and the distribution of spiritual gifts.
