THEOLOGY OF FELLOWSHIP 291

17 Separation, a separation in a Scriptural manner on
account of false doctrine, and separatism, a separation against
the Scripture for all kinds of other reasons. Cf, Eckhardt,
under Spaltung.

18 The prayer here enjoined is prayer among Chris-
tians met for a God-pleasing purpose. Joint prayer with
non-Christians is to be avoided.

19 Cf. THEoLocy or FELLOwsuip, Part II, p. 19.

20 Tbid., p. 22, As one respected Lutheran theologian,

Dr. Hermann Sasse of the United Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Australia, has urged, the least that Christians
can do on such occasions is to pray together:

Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide,

For round us falls the eventide;

Let not Thy Word, that heavenly light,

For us be ever veiled in night.

(The Lutheran Hymnal, 292)
