Excerpt from The Charter of the Church: Six Lectures on the Spiritual Principle of Nonconformity
The Charter of the Church is not in any saying of Jesus, who, perhaps, never used the word church. It is not a documentary charter at all. Such a textual commission would make the Church what it always tends to be in the hands of those who base it on fiats, documents, and protocols - a chartered company, licensed to exploit the world by means whose ethics are those of an institution rather than a conscience - of an enterprise rather than a cause.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical and philosophical principles that have shaped the nature of the Church. The author argues that a true Church should be founded upon the principles of free faith and the autonomy of each community in its relationship with Christ. This idea of a "free church" is traced from its origins in the Reformation to its present-day incarnations in various Nonconformist denominations. The author explores the idea that the State should not interfere in the governance of the Church, and that the Church should instead derive its authority solely from the will of Christ. This book argues that the principles of a "free church," based on the freedom of faith and the autonomy of the community, are essential for a truly Christian and spiritually vibrant Church.
