The exclusion of Jewish Christians from our communion of worship would mean: The excluding church is erecting a racial law as a prerequisite of Christian communion. But in doing so it loses Christ himself. . . . A Christian church cannot exclude from its communion a member on whom the sacrament of baptism has been bestowed, without degrading baptism. . . . With exclusion of the Jewish Christians from the communion of worship, he who realizes the nature of the church must feel himself to be excluded also.61
