| Summary: | Each year sees further development of the principle of co-operation among church workers. We have already published in the "Biblical World" accounts of various co-operative movements, and we plan to continue to present to our readers additional information in regard to this most interesting matter. In the same proportion as we come to see that Christianity involves life as well as truth and that its end is the production of personal character, shall we see that for such ends churches do not need to be divided along lines of doctrinal formulas. There is no doctrinal cleavage in social service. To bring in the kingdom of God is something vastly greater than to bring in the triumph of a denomination. No denomination has any legitimate claim to existence except as it conserves and develops efficiency in world-saving. How much clearer we see this today than we did five years ago! Some of the movements looking toward this new efficiency of a united evangelicalism Professor Show describes in this article. |
