There are few things which appear at first sight so inconsistent, few things that are outwardly so selfcontradictory, as the Church of England. The most opposite accounts are given of it by its own adherents. Its various schools of thought often show themselves bitterly hostile to one another. Why is it, then, that the majority of Anglicans have such a dogged faith in a unity supposed to be underlying all their differences? What vague conviction is it in the back of our minds that makes the appeal to logic and consistency often ring so hollow to us? It has been well remarked that principles are wont to assert themselves, in thought as in action, before they are distinctly apprehended.1 And 1 J. B. Stallo, Concepts of Modern Physics, p. 16. 10': jt(c)fERN Angl1can1sm .jt: oi&Birh#'t5i'--tfepgh the Church of England were instinctively acting upon principles which it had not, indeed, distinctly apprehended, but of which, nevertheless, it seems, as a whole, vaguely aware. But these principles are now gradually working themselves out and demanding recognition. And the development will be no mere blind or chance one. There is, on the contrary, more than enough in the facts to warrant our believing that God is really leading us, and that a real evolution of a higher type of Church life is taking place in our midst. 2. It is our part to cooperate. We must first, however, prove ourselves capable of understanding and appreciating the principal facts displayed by the various forms of Anglicanism at the present day. Differences within the English Church must be judged in the light of the fact that history has as yet given it only.
