- "Through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Neil C. McMath, an annual lectureship, named by a special committee 'The McMath Lectures', has been established in the Diocese of Michigan. ... These lectures, delivered by the Bishop of Chester, on the occasion of the centennial of St. John's Church, Detroit, are the first in this series". -- Foreword.
- "I would ask the reader to bear in mind the purpose of the lectures and to try to re-create the setting in which they were delivered. My objective was to express in a very small compass the splendor of the Anglican Communion in its Catholic and Reformed tradition. I was speaking to the man and woman in the pew and seeking to convey to them both the joy and responsibility of their membership in that part of the Catholic Church to which they have given their loyalty. The lectures were delivered on five consecutive week-days in April 1959, in the Church of St. John, Detroit". -- Intro.
