Excerpt from A Pastoral Letter to the Clergy of the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway: In Reference To, I. The Declaration Signed by Scottish Bishops at the Time of Their Consecration; II. Ritual and Rubrics in Scotland; III. What Should Be a Churchman's Mind and Feeling With Respect to Presbyterians Us watchful against any disposition to increase the difference of usage and practice between one diocese and another; or between this Church and the united Church of England and Ireland. Any badges of distinction (if not required by principle) are an evil rather than a good. Let us hold to the solemn settlement of a difficult and delicate ques tion embodied in our Canons; let us prize (as we have reason to prize with thankfulness and meek ness) the independence and freedom of our Church but let us remember, as to any badges of distinction not adopted by our Canons, that uniformity of ritual (as a type and means of unity) is of far greater value than the indulgence of private taste for some venerable practice not generally received. I would earnestly exhort any person who thinks it a glory to their Church in some measure to recognize unes sential usages which have not been retained by the sister Church of England, to remember what dis putes and dissensions have been occasioned by mat ters of this kind and that it is a far greater glory to a Church to give up preferences of taste or feeling for the sake of love and unity, than with rigid and pharisaic tenacity to aim at any distinctive badge which is not required by principle?
