Speaking of Christendom’s churches, British clergyman H. R. L. Sheppard, at one time canon of St. Paul’s Cathedral, wrote in If I Were Dictator: “Christianity is not in possession. . . .

It is impossible to suppose that the complicated forms which Christianity has so far assumed are any better than caricatures of what Christ intended.”
