Wacky Reformation universalism

I ran across this quote from Sebastian Franck, a Reformation era Spiritualist, that sounds like something CS Lewis might have said: "I have my brothers among the Turks, Papists, Jews and all peoples. Not that they are Turks, Jews, Papists and Sectaries or will remain so; in the evening they will be called into the vineyard and given the same wage as we."

I'm not a fan of the small amount of Spiritualist writing I've read, but gosh, this is a smart observation. From memory of the "overly kind" employer story, I think this is a pretty fair application. I don't even think I would categorize it as a versejack. More food for thought.
