What reading level is The Church in the Commonwealth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We speak of " British " nationality, a term which covers English and Scots folk, yet there is a " national " Church in England and another — of a very different character — in Scot- land; there is no " national " Church at all in Ireland. " The English Church," said the late Archbishop Benson, " must be the religious organ 58 THE CHURCH IN THE COMMONWEALTH of the English people." What then is the religious organ of the people who claim British nationality ?
What, indeed, is a nation to begin wi...th ? A nation is a very fluid and indeterminate thing; and while the fact of nationality is of first-class importance to the historian and the politician, it is neverthe- less of so unstable a character that it can never be anything more than a provisional and temporary setting for a religious society which claims to be abiding and super-historic. When Dr. Forsyth speaks of a nation as " a collective personality, a historical conscience, a continuity of glory, which fills it with hope and dignity, and of responsibility which connects crime and conse- quence, error and expiation across centuries,"* his eloquence is not sustained by the facts.
