Broadcasting Of Church Services
WELLINGTON, Tue. (P.A.).—A debate took place at the general synod of the Church of England in New Zealand last night on a motion to ask division committees to cooperate with the broadcasting and with the committee on broadcasting appointed by a previous synod in the technical improvement of religious broadcasts. Opinion was divided on the question whether the broadcasting of normal church services won people to Christianity, as well as catering for church adherents who were unable to attend services.
The motion was carried and the following broadcasting committee was appointed for the ensuing three years: The Bishop of Nelson, Dean A. K. Warren, Dean Gibsoii, Archdeacon Rich, Archdeacon T. H. C. Partridge, Canon W. A. Curzon-Siggers, and the Rev. A. C. F. Charles.
While undergoing an emergency operation for appendicitis at the Cook Hospital, Gisbvne, last night, a Maori' girl, Tangi Smith, 15, of Tolaga'Bay, collapsed and died.
