The Unity of the Church Essential to the Conversion of the World,Gwyther 58072 [Author: James Henry Alexander Gwyther] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/0/7/58072 ] [Files: 58072-h.txt; 58072-h.htm] For those wishing to know: James Gwyther (c1814-1875) was the son of a clergyman of Madeley, Shropshire, whom I'm doing some research on, and this was a way to see which church party he belonged to etc. The sermon takes the biblical prayer of Jesus for unity in the church, and relates it to church mission (it was preached at the London Missionary Society). All the best, David, England, rather warm and too dark to see the sky
