DISUNITY IN THE CHURCH
Sir,-Listening to "What the Church has to say about its own disunity," I felt that the speakers had missed one very vital point. Some of our women’s organisations use a prayer, one clause of which runs, "Grant that we may realise it is the little things that create differences, that in the big things of life we are one." The various denominations are surely separated by comparative trivialities. In the one deep-seated, central part, the Holy Communion, we are indeed one, and yet the greater number of our clergy are so blind that they cannot see that if we began by making our Communion together the rest would solve itself. If the Son of God stands at His table, His heart must ache to see His ministers looking down their ecclesiastical noses at the idea of serving His supper to fellow Christians who have the temerity to differ unon some nointe of
order.
