(Excerpt from Parochial and Missionary Responsibility: Two...)
Excerpt from Parochial and Missionary Responsibility: Two Sermons Preached at Christ Church, Cambridge, on Sundays, October 8th and 22d, 1876 It would seem sufficient in reply to quote the words of the texts whose combination alone comprises the whole argument. The Son of Man, said Jesus, is come to seek and to save that which was lost; and the living, practical proof of His mission, clearly understood by all and addressing itself to all, was the extent to which He was going about doing good at once to the bodies and to the souls of men, and especially the fact that to the poor the Gospel was preached. And what His own ministry had been, such, by divine power, was also to be theirs whom He left to continue to do and to teach as He had begun. As my Father hath sent Me, were His own words, even so send I you. It is true that Christ also gave His ministry the charge to teach those who had received the Gospel, to observe all things whatsoever he had commanded; and it is true that the first Apostles both set the ministry the example and gave them defi nite precepts for feeding the flock of Christ as well with the sincere milk of the word as also with stronger meat when they have grown thereby. But this latter charge was an addi tion to the former, not a substitute for it. When and where the Gospel has been already faithfully preached to every creature to the poor as well as to the rich; when and where every effort has been made which divinely guided human wisdom can devise or divinely sustained human energies carry out, to seek and to save that which was lost; then and there, - and not till then, and only there - are the missionary responsibilities of the Christian ministry wholly superceded by the pastoral.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

( About the Book A missionary is a member of a religious ...)
About the Book A missionary is a member of a religious group sent into an area to proselytize or perform ministries of service, such as education, literacy, social justice, health care, and economic development. The Bible holds that Jesus instructed the apostles to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19–20, Mark 16:15–18), and this verse is interpreted as providing the Great Commission that inspires missionary work. The word "mission" itself comes from its use when Jesuits first went abroad in 1598, as it is derived from the Latin missionem meaning "act of sending". Many other denominations of Christianity, including Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists and Orthodox missionaries have worked throughout the world.

William Chauncy Langdon was born in Burlington, Vermont, the son of John Jay Langdon and Harriet Curtis (Woodward), great-granddaughter of Eleazar Wheelock, founder of Dartmouth College. Because of the mother's health, the family moved first to Washington, D. C. , where in 1835 the father was a clerk in the United States Treasury, and then to Louisiana, whence he went to the Mexican War as colonel of the 1st Louisiana Regiment.
William graduated from Transylvania University, Lexington, Kentucky, in 1850.
Upon finishing his studies, Langdon became adjunct professor of astronomy at Shelby College, Kentucky. In 1851 he was appointed assistant examiner in the United States Patent Office, Washington, becoming chief examiner in 1855. The next year he resigned, and went into the practice of patent law.
In 1852, with Thomas Duncan, William J. Rhees, and Zalmon Richards, he started the Washington Young Men's Christian Association. Two years later, at a convention in Buffalo, he took the lead in founding the American Confederation of Young Men's Christian Associations, of which he was chosen first general secretary. He also made influential contributions to the coordinating of the various Y. M. C. A. societies of Europe at the Paris meeting of 1855 and to the establishing of definite relations between the American and European organizations. Through this work he came to realize the practicability of cooperation among Christian denominations.
In 1854 he organized and conducted a system of interdenominational mission Sunday schools for boys and girls in Washington. Finding greater interest in these activities than in the patent law, he decided to enter the ministry, and on February 28, 1858, was ordained deacon in the Protestant Episcopal Church. During a trip to Europe in 1857 his attention had been attracted to the Old Catholic Movement, an endeavor to restore in the Roman Catholic Church the principles and practice of the early Christian church. Seeing in such restored conditions of early Christianity the common ground on which the reunion of the Christian churches could be effected, he thenceforth took an active interest in the movement.
In 1859, having been advanced to the priesthood, he went to Rome where he started an Episcopal church for American residents and tourists, which became St. Paul's Inside the Walls. He returned to America in 1862 and for three years during the Civil War was rector of St. John's Church, Havre de Grace, Md. He presented a memorial to the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of 1865 on conditions in Italy and was sent back to that country to be the representative of his Church among the Old Catholics.
Settling in Florence, he lived there until 1873 and established an Episcopal church, St. James's, for American residents and tourists. Upon the death of the editor of L'Esaminatore, the official organ of the Old Catholics, he succeeded to his post. In 1873 he moved to Geneva, where he started Emmanuel Church for American residents and tourists. He attended the Old Catholic congresses at Cologne and Bonn in 1872, 1873, 1874, and 1875.
Returning to the United States, he became the rector of Christ Church, Cambridge, Massachussets, in 1876, but on account of failing health resigned two years later. From 1883 to 1890 he was rector of St. James Church, Bedford, Pennsylvania. He then moved to Providence, Rhode Island, where he started a mission which afterward became St. Martin's.
During his last years he lived with his son, Courtney Langdon, in Providence, and was connected as an honorary assistant with Grace Church there. Throughout the latter part of his career he devoted himself mainly to an effort to reunite Catholic and Protestant churches on the basis of their common rule of faith, their common Catholic doctrine, their two common sacraments, and the historic ministry. He organized a group of scholars known as the Sociological Group, which developed into the League of Catholic Unity. These influential men tried to effect a union of the Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Congregational churches, but the retrogressive attitude taken by the Protestant Episcopal General Convention of 1895 put to an end for the time any progress in that direction. The keen disappointment over this result proved the last straw of burden on Langdon's exhausted strength. He died a few days thereafter, on October 29, 1895. At his funeral in Grace Church, Providence, on All Saints' Day, some thirty-five clergy of eleven different churches were present and partook of the Holy Communion together.
Langdon was one of the co-founders of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in America. He also founded American Episcopal church in Rome and in Florence; Emmanuel Church in Geneva. He advocated the idea of bringing isolated Christian associations into a bond of union. He initiated a joint conference in Paris for associations in all countries, as well as a system of international correspondence and cooperation.
