The Church's One Foundation

<p>Attacks from without, attacks from within. &nbsp;The Church throughout history has suffered persecution and/or controversial or heretical views. &nbsp;Such was the case in the mid-1800s when liberal views of German theologians severely impacted the Church of England. &nbsp;As a result of the conflict, Samuel Stone, who was on the side of evangelical, historical truth, wrote twelve hymns based on the twelve articles of the Apostles' Creed. &nbsp;One of the hymns was The Church's One Foundation, which was the processional hymn of the first Lambeth Conference. &nbsp;The music was composed by Samuel Wesley, the grandson of Charles Wesley. &nbsp;It became one of the church's best-loved hymns.</p> <p>Article taken from <strong>Then Sings My Soul, Volumes 1 &amp; 2</strong> by Robert J.
