INTERPRETATION OF FAITH
ALL POINTS OF VIEW NECESSARY. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Australian Press Association. London, Oct. 3. “Anglo-Catholics, Evangelicals and Modernists are all mongrels,” declared Canon Wilson, Bishop-designate of Chelmsford when addressing the Church Congress, “but,” he added, “mongrels are always more interesting than thoroughbreds and generally more intelligent.” Canon Wilson prefaced his remark by saying with fourfold emphasis that Catholic, Apostolic, Reformed and Protestant views must be retained in relation to the Church of England, if the Anglican interpretation of the Christian faith was to be truly expressed. Once the principle of reform was allowed to operate religion ceased to be a pond and became a running stream. The Anglican Church had become comprehensive through the admission of the legitimacy of reform. Comprehension had brought into being many mongrel churchmen.
