OUR HERITAGE OF UNITY AND FELLOWSHIP

Writings of
Leroy Garrett and W. Carl Ketcherside
Edited and Published by

That is the heritage of the Christian Churches, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and the Churches of Christ and their sub-divisions who have largely forsaken their heritage in this century.

Carl Ketcherside and Leroy Garrett have been as voices crying in the wilderness of sectarianism in our time pleading that we accept our legacy of unity and fellowship. Their cry is heard in this book.

The Spirit is using this Biblical and practical plea for unity to arouse another swell of acceptance.
