What reading level is Christian Unity And the Historic Episcopate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On account of the great disturbance and discords that occur it is decreed that the custom prevailing in certain places, contrary to the [Apostolical] Canon, must by all means be done away, so that neither Bishop, Presbyter, nor Deacon shall pass from city to city. And if any one, after this decree of the Holy and Great Synod, shall attempt any such thing or continue in any such course, his proceedings shall be utterly void, and he shall be restored to the Church in which he was ordained Bishop ...or Presbyter. 16. Neither Presbyters nor Deacons nor any others enrolled among the Clergy, who, not having the fear of GOD before their eyes, nor regarding the Canon of the Church, shall recklessly remove from their own Church, ought by any means to be re- ceived by another Church; but every constraint should be applied to restore them to their own Parishes; and, if they will not go, they must be suspended from their ministry. And if any [Bishop] shall dare surreptitiously to take and in his own Church ordain a man belonging to another, without the consent of his own proper Bishop, from whom he has seceded, let the ordination be void.
