THE COMPREHENSIVE CHURCH. 169
rangements of the forms and modes of public worship
in the Protestant Episcopal Church are not, in every
respect, such as would be acceptable to the majority of
all the Christians of pur country if they were united in
one Church, is it not at the same time perfectly manifest that, if they were all united in the Protestant Episcopal Church, they might at once, and according to the
existing laws of this Church, make such arrangements
as to such majority would be entirely satisfactory ? Is
it not also manifest that the majority, which exists at
any time in this Church, may regulate, to suit itself and
to accomplish what to it may appear the benefit of the
whole, the entire order and method of public worship ?
SECTION XIII.
RIGHTS OF THE LAITY.
Arrangement under a single view of previous observations—the laity an
order in the Protestant Episcopal Church—their rights in parishes—
rights in Diocesan Conventions—rights in the standing committees—
rights in the General Convention—rights of Church membership—
rights in ecclesiastical trials of discipline—rights of full and perpetual
self-protection'—their peculiarity as a Constituent order in the Church
insisted upon—the Protestant Episcopal Church worthy of the approbation of all Christians.
We propose to offer nothing new in this section, but
to recapitulate or arrange, under a single view, the rights
of the laity which have been unfolded as they have
come up in the course of our preceding observations.
The laity are recognized as a distinct and independent order in the Protestant Episcopal Church. They
