To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not for us to say what God may give to those who in faith seek His grace in ways which the historic Church does not find provided in the covenant which she has accepted. Not arrogantly, but confidently, she asks for the old paths; and she finds rest for the souls of her people. Thus I do not hesitate to say, and to wit- ness as that which I read of the Church's testi- mony to herself in this matter, that neither CONSTITUTION AND ORDERING 99 the Church in her entirety, nor any part of the ...Church which would keep in full communion with the Catholic Church of the earliest days, is duly furnished for truth and grace without the historic episcopate, the three-fold ministry derived by bishops from the Apostles. We have of necessity traversed a wide range of theology as we have this evening studied in some detail the Constitution and Ordering of the Church of Christ. At least let it have been of this service to us, that we have been reminded that the Church is really the Body of the Incarnate Lord in His glory, and that in her He is even yet moving towards absolute completeness: and that the purpose of the ordering of the Church is that it may be possible for her— wondrous truth!— to hasten and accomplish His perfection.
