Anglican group to fight union
PA Hamilton A small group within the Anglican Church has launched an appeal for $lO,OOO to fight church-union proposals arid, any revision of doctrine and practices. The 900 member Selwyn societies — 0.1 per cent of the Church’s adherents — has opened the appeal in its newsletter, “Link.” The national council chairman of the societies (the Rev. M. T. Drysdale, of Auckland) said that the money could be used to test the legality of various Church activities before the Tribunal, a New Zealand Anglican judicial body. In a letter in “Link” he says the Anglican General Synod’s second rejection of the 1971 plan for union should not be taken to mean “extinction." “The plan may have been rejected, but the influence and persons that designed that plan remain alive and are still actively at work with our Church,” he says.
