HERESY CHARGTS NOT PRESSED.
NO GROUNDS FOR PROCEEDINGS.
(Received Feb. 10, 8.20 p.m.)
London, Feb. 10.
The Archbishop of Canterbury points out tihat the Bishop of Zanzibar, while not withdrawing the charges of heresy and schism, does not wish to press them if the results desired can be reached in another way, but he presses for a decision which will make clear his own position in relation to the neighbouring dioceses.
. The Archbishop of Canterbury is unhesitatingly of opinion that he would not be justified in allowing the inquiry to take the form of proceedings against the Bishops of Uganda and Mombassa for heresy or schism. No clear precedent for such a trial exists, and the facts afford no case for sxxch proceedings, which would be wholly but of place. The Bishops of the province of Canterbury "would not be specially qualified to give an arbitrament on a matter which marked ty affects interests outside those of the Home Church.
