DEFYING SYNOD AND HOUSE OF COMMONS
RESERVATION OF SACRAMENT BISHOP OF LONDON’S LETTER (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Thursday. The “Daily Express” says that although the proposed rubrics permitting the reservation of the Sacrament were the chief reason why the House of Commons rejected the new Prayer Book, the Bishop of London. Dr. Winnington Ingram, sent a letter to the 160 incumbents of the churches in bis diocese w r ho practise reservation, out of 620 churches in the diocese, permitting reservation. The decision of the bishops at the conference after the second rejection of the book was to take the new book as a standard, but to consult the clergy in the synods. The London Synod rejected the proposal to permit reservation, as allowed under the new book. The paper says the bishop’s letter defies both the synod and the House of Commons.
