UNION OF CHURCHES.

; DREAM DISSOLVED. By Pope’s Pronouncement SAYS SECRETARY OF PROTESTANT ALLIANCE. LONDON, January 12. Mr Henry Fowler, Secretary of the Protestant Alliance. expresses the opinion that the Pope’s pronouncement dissolves the A nglo-Cat holies’ dream of a reunion of the Anglican Church with Rome. Attempts at reunion must always result in a loss to Anglicans, because Rome’s dogma is rigid. An gioCatholics, who alone cherish the illu sion of a reunion, would go to Rome. The Evangelicals would turn Nonconformists. METHODISTS SEEK REUNION. LONDON, January 11. The Joint Executive of the Wesleyan United Methodist and Primitive Methodist Churches, adopted by sixty-seven votes to one, the general principles cf the new proposals for union, including proceeding a ith an enabling Bill at the 1928 Conference. PRAYER BOOK CONTROVERSY. BISHOP’S PROPOSALS. (Received January 12 at 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, January 12. The Bishops met, and are expected to isouc the outline of the final proposals, probably on Friday morning. The Post expresses the opinion that the sudden publication of Viscount Halifax s notes will stiffen opposition to any plan the Episcopate may evolve for salving the new Prayer Book.
