The One Church of Jesus Coming
By Fr. Thomas Ryan, C.S.P. in
A Survival Guide For Ecumenically Minded Christians
When God puts us back together again, with the aide of our 
willingness to cooperate, this great church will be marked by....
The DIGNITY and SCHOLARSHIP of the ANGLICANS
The ORDER and SACRAMENTS of the ROMAN CATHOLICS
The warm FELLOWSHIP of the METHODISTS
The PRESBYTERIAN desire for GOOD PREACHING
The LUTHERAN respect for SOUND THEOLOGY
There will be
The BAPTIST concern for INDIVIDUAL SALVATION
The CONGREGATIONAL respect for the RIGHTS OF THE LAY MEMBERS
The PENTECOSTAL reliance on the power of THE HOLY SPIRIT
The QUAKER appreciation for SILENCE
The MENNONITE sense of COMMUNITY
The SALVATION ARMY'S respect for SOCIAL ACTION
The REFORMED love of THE HOLY BIBLE

(And may I be so bold as to add...
The EVANGELICAL zeal for proclaiming the GOSPEL.... - G.S.)
All wrapped in ORTHODOX REVERENCE before the MYSTERY OF GOD!
