COMMUNION SERVICE
Questionnaire On Changes
Anglicans throughout New Zealand are being asked to comment on an experimental liturgy for the Communion service, which has been in restricted use for the last year. Questionnaires have been distributed through parishes of the Christchurch diocese asking for individual reactions to the new service. The Christchurch diocese has provided a booklet on the subject, edited by two clergymen and published by the fttimer Foundation, formed to take over the late Canon W. A. Orange’s library, and to publish theological work and promote biblical and theological publications.
Discussing the new booklet, the Rev. M. J. Goodall, one of the writers, said that it tried to be positively critical. Both he and the Rev. C A. Clark, the other editor, f«t that there ought to be revision of the 1662 liturgy, but the suggested new service, through giving a number of alternatives, presented the danger of destroying a common framework of the liturgy. Mr Goodall said that both he and Mr Clark believed there should be revision of the language in the old liturgy, and to this end had made several suggestions in the booklet.
