CHURCH SUBJECTS
Misleading Discussions PARISH WORK GOES ON From reading in the newspapers and elsewhere articles dealing with controversial subjects, the public is liable, according to the Rev. Duncan MacGregor, who arrived by the Rangitata yesterday, to form a wrong impression of the Church of England. Discussions On such church subjects as “high,” “low” or “modern” tendencies, in which the parties sometimes took sides rather briskly, gave quite a false idea. “Actually,” he said, “in the parishes, where the work is being done, you don’t get anything of that.” Very often the controversies affected only a small ring of non-parish people. Those in the average parish went on with their work and didn’t worry about them. “They’re all awfully good friends together,”' he said. Mr. MacGregor is a son of Mr. Justice MacGregor and was at College House, Christchurch, under Canon,Wilford. He went Home at the beginning of 1928 to Westcott House, Cambridge, where he read theology. In 1929 he was ordained and for the last three years has been working in the parish of St. Barnabas’, Kensington, London.
