What reading level is Democracy in the Church book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is no inherent reason why baptism should not be administered more than once ; but it seems unnecessary, unless as a witness against the sacramentarian notions into which it is so easy for us to fall. We must keep constantly before us Christ's attitude toward all outward ordinances, that they are simply helps toward realizing inward relations and graces. As He said of the Sabbath, so, we believe, He would have said of Baptism, that it was made for man and not man for Baptism.
Baptism and t...he Lord's Supper, as visible ordinances, belong to the visible Church and should be administered by it. This, we believe, was the intention of the Lord. The members of the church, in their corporate capacity, serve as administrators, sponsors and witnesses. But a clear under- standing of the relation between the visible Church and the invisible Kingdom will keep us from denying either Baptism or the Lord's Supper to those who belong to the Kingdom but not yet to the Church.
If we are right in our interpretation of Jesus' view of THE BAPTISMAL COVENANT 171 the Church, the conditions of membership in it are extremely simple.
