TIME NOT QUITE RIGHT
CONSTITUTIONAL UNION OF CHURCHES LONDON, Nov. 3. The Archbishop of Canterbury, in * sermon at, Cambridge University * expressed the view that “the road is not: yet open for an organic or constitutional union of churches,” but because he feared a stalemate in the negotiations he suggested, for general discussion,- that wmle folds remained distinct and during the process.of assimilation—of growing alike—there should be a free and unfettered exchange of life in worship and sacrament among them. He added: “I think it is not possible yet. or desirable, that any church should merge its identity in a newly-constituted union.. W hat 1 desire is that T should be able freely to enter other churches and they mine in the sacrament of the Lord. If there were agreement on the whole venture I would thankfully receive at the hands of others their commission in their accustomed form, and in the same way confer our own.”
