RELIGION IN AMERICA.
ENGLISH BISHOP'S COMMENT.
MEXICO AND THE CHURCHES. (Received August 16, 5.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z.-Sun. LAUSANNE. Aug. lo In a speech the Bishop of Gloucester, Dr. A. C. Headlam, said America had far too many rival religious bodies, whose doctrines were but narrowly separated. The bishop advocated the creation of an organised territorial ministry in America, which would enable religious ministrations to-be available to everyone.
In an allusion to Mexico Dr. Headlam condemned the action of Protestant churches in a country who joined an anticlerical State which prohibited Roman Catholic schools.
Educational freedom was essential to Christian liberty, he said.
