Book Description
American Episcopalians have long prided themselves on their love of consensus and their position as the church of American elites. They have, in the process, often forgotten that during the nineteenth century their church was racked by a divisive struggle that threatened to tear apart the very fabric of the Episcopal Church. On one side of this struggle was a powerful and aggressive Evangelical party who hoped to make the Episcopal Church into the democratic head of "the sisterhood of Evangelical Churches" in America; on the other side was the Oxford Movement, equally powerful and aggressive but committed to a range of Romantic principles which celebrated disillusion and disgust with evangelicalism and democracy alike. The resulting conflict--over theology, liturgy, and, above all, culture--led to the schism of 1873, in which many Evangelicals left the church to form the Reformed Episcopal Church. For the Union of Evangelical Christendom tells this largely forgotten story using the case of the Reformed Episcopalians to open up the ironic anatomy of American religion at the turn of the century. Today, as the Episcopal Church once again finds itself enmeshed in cultural and religious crisis, the remembrance of a similar crisis a century ago brings an eerily prophetic ring to this remarkable work of cultural and religious history.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoir of George David Cummins, D. D: First Bishop of the Reformed Episcopal Church Early Days and College Life. "We know him now, all narrow jealousies Are silent; and we see him as he moved: How modest, kindly, all-accomplished, wise, With what sublime repression of himself! Wearing the white flower of a blameless life Before a thousand peering littlenesses." George David Cummins was born near the town of Smyrna, Del., December nth, 1822. His fathers family came to this country from Scotland, and settled at Oxford, near Easton, Md., on the Chesapeake Bay. It was at that time a shipping port of importance. From Oxford several members of the family removed to Delaware and Pennsylvania. Two of the uncles of the subject of this memoir settled in Philadelphia, and became prominent shipping and commission merchants. The father of Bishop Cummins, Mr. George Cummins, purchased land in Delaware, and there he lived all his life. He occupied prominent positions in the State, and was a member of the Legislature for many years. Early in life he married the daughter of Governor Collins.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter V. The Crisis and Its Results. "For more than a third of a century, the Evangelical Party have been talking of doing something;... this is the first attempt at decisive action." It was indeed action, born of God through prayer and the constant looking to Him for guidance. To one not personally engaged in these stirring days of 1873, so fraught with pain to him who, under God, was the founder of our denomination, and days so closely in touch with the Great Head of the Church, through whom the work came, it is like standing on sacred ground. We can simply endeavor to give, as nearly as possible, a clear portrayal of what others have passed on to us, and as we look back over our quarter century of life, we may thank God for our heritage, and pray that our ship of state may be guided by God's hand, clasping the earthly hands within Ilis own, and making His servants well trained and fitted to carry forward the work entrusted to their care. As we read of the events as they occurred during the fall of 1873, how surely and clearly we see God's leading. Truly, "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform." Can we doubt, as we recall the history of this time, the need for such a Church as ours, for such a haven of rest for the storm-tossed souls of those who had so bravely contended for the Truth as they saw and believed it? (Jan we not reverently feel that, just as the pulsating, throbbing human life of the world was ripe for the coming of the Saviour of mankind, so also, "when the fulness of the time was come," God prepared a Church, a home of peace, for a people who so long had vainly sought an abiding place where they might "worship Him in spirit and in truth?" What was it that animated the hearts of the reformers, that sent...
