“The true basis of religious fellowship is not identity of theological belief, but unity of heart and oneness of purpose in respect to the great practical duties of life.”
Thomas M’Clintock, Basis of Religious Association: adopted by the Conference held at Farmington, in the state of New York, on the 6th and 7th of Tenth month, 1848 (Waterloo: Sentell and Pew, 1848)
