The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 77

The Basis of True Union

The Basis of True Union.

Now, just because this is a question of Creed revision, and not primarily a question of Union, I have not allowed myself space in the brief time at my disposal to discuss the in- page 58 nocently abstract question of true evangelical Union on the lines of the historical Creeds. If Union ever comes, it will come along the lines of these Creeds. And it is only as Union comes along the lines of these Creeds that it can serve itself heir to the evangelical name and heritage. If cleavage comes, as come it may at any time, it will come along the lines indicated by Professor Orr. But may I not venture briefly to say on what lines, even by way of the historical Creeds, Union never will come. Until the happy time come when all shall know, from the least to the greatest, the world is not likely to do without written Creeds—those skins that hold the wine.
