Lloyd-Jones on the Ecumenical Movement

Martin Downes has some extracts from a speech delivered by Martin Lloyd-Jones at the National Assembly of Evangelicals in 1966. The reason for this particular speech? The pressure to cave into the ecumenical movement of the time. One of my personal favorite quotes from this speech concerns the ecumenical desire for fellowship prior to doctrine. Lloyd-Jones put it in the following way:

What is the Christian church? That is the question. You cannot discuss church unity unless you are clear in your mind as to what the church is. Now here is the great divide. The ecumenical people put fellowship before doctrine. We are evangelicals; we put doctrine before fellowship.
