(16.) William Adams Brown, The Church, Catholic and Protestant: A Study of Differences That Mailer (New York and London: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1935), p. 59. In his treatment of Catholicism, Brown included Anglicanism on the grounds that it asserts itself to be in direct apostolic succession. While I disagree with the grounds upon which he claimed Anglicanism to be Catholic, I agree with it inasmuch as the Anglican position does not constitute a Protestant one in terms of belief but only in that it is not part of the Roman Catholic Church.
