We publish this article, a paper from South Africa read by an Anglican religious, a member of the Society of the Sacred Mission—and a grateful reader of ‘The Life of the Spirit'—to a group of ministers of several Christian allegiances. In reading it we are listening in, so to speak, to a private conversation between some of our separated brethren, themselves separated from each other. Their language is not altogether ours, nor can we make our own some of their assumptions, but we can recognize at least one thing that we share wholly with them, a faith in and love for Christ Our Lord and a desire to be his disciples. To realise this and apprehend it more clearly is to take at least one step forward towards the unity of all Christian men in the One, True Church.
