“In spiritual Truth, whatever we know is infinitely precious, and we are bound at all costs to uphold the convictions which are borne in upon us.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
“At the same time, we are not bound by any equal obligation to force them upon others.”

Bishop WESTCOTT

“It is well for anyone to argue against opinions which he thinks false, to examine the grounds upon which they profess to rest, to endeavour to convert those who hold them to a different way of thinking. But all this in no way justifies the attempt to persuade anyone to go against their conscience as long as their conscience remains unconvinced. To convince someone that their conscientious convictions are not true is quite a different thing from persuading that person to disobey them while they still thinks them true. The fact is, that true Christian society and true Christian friendship cannot exist on any other basis than that of respecting each other’s consciences.”
