Author Description

Excerpt from The Scroll, Vol. 44: January-February, 1947 How far the real leaders among the Disciples are lib erated from creeds and theological doctrines can b ascertained with more assurance because these leaders have expressed themselves in written and other public statements that have become common knowledge. In the writings of Alexander Campbell, Isaac Errett, L. L Pinkerton, and J. H. Garrison, are clear answers to the question as to how far they were liberated from the tra ditional creeds and from the customary doctrinal stand ards. The names of many other liberated leaders who have made record of their emancipation are Herbert L. Willett, Peter Ainslie, Burris Jenkins, and J. M. Phil putt. Dr.philputt, in an article on Chrisian Union publi shed in the Campbell Institute anniversary volume, Progress, thirty years ago said, Certainly in the face of the great issues at stake the Disciples will not jeopar dize unity by insisting upon their own dogmatic inter pretation in matters where there is room for consci entious difference. A certificate of membership in any one church must be valid and acceptable in any other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
