Nothing could be plainer than the fact that the problems of Christian disunity do not press very heavily on the great majority of English Christians. For some the whole idea that separated Christians might ever come together again in the unity of the faith seems so impossible and visionary as to be discounted altogether. For others the present situation has come to be thought of as normal, and even perhaps intended by God, and is no longer seen as a cause of sorrow or scandal; either they regards the questions which separate Christians as of no real importance, or else they think of Christians separated from themselves as so far gone in error, as to be no longer in any real sense brethrem in Christ.
