Democracy In The Church is a book written by Edgar Laing Heermance in 1906. The book is a critical analysis of the role of democracy in the church, particularly in the Protestant Church. Heermance argues that democracy has a significant impact on the church and its governance, and that it is essential for the church to embrace democratic principles to remain relevant and effective in the modern world.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of democracy in the church. Heermance begins by examining the historical roots of democracy in the church, tracing its development from the early Christian communities to the present day. He then goes on to discuss the benefits and challenges of democracy in the church, including issues such as the role of the laity, the relationship between pastors and congregations, and the impact of democratic decision-making on the church's mission and purpose.Throughout the book, Heermance draws on a wide range of sources, including theological texts, historical documents, and contemporary writings on democracy and governance. He argues that democracy is not only compatible with the teachings of the Bible, but is in fact an essential component of Christian faith and practice.Overall, Democracy In The Church is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the role of democracy in the church. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and politics, and for those seeking to understand the challenges and opportunities facing the church in the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
