Let us not consider it too unimportant, even in temporal things, so far as conscience permits, carefully to avoid everything that might disturb the unity of the whole. But let us now also beware of immediately seeing signs of a discordant spirit in every harmless endeavor, in every difference of opinion, or in every harmless departure from established custom. That would really make the situation bad!
H.C. Schwan, Synod Address 1890
