RE-UNION OF THE CHURCHES
ATTITUDE OF THE METHODISTS. APPEAL MADE TO ANGLICANS By Telegraph.—Press Association. / " Wellington, ?Nov. 19. Addressing the Wellington Methodist Synod, which opened, to-day, the Rev. E. D. Patchett, district chairman, spoke of church union - and said it was encouraging to record that certain definite practical steps had been taken. He supported the resolutions of . the Auckland Presbytery, because tlrey suggested that Anglicans be also approached. Methodists looked to the Anglican Church as the rock from which they were hewn, and there was much in common between them. For Methodists reunion would be incomplete without the Anglicans, but, if that were impracticable, yet a step towards it would be the coming together of Presbyterians, Congregationalists and Methodists. Speaking of the Concordat between the Roman Catholics and the Bible in Schools League, Mr. Patchett said this meant the removal of an irritant from the religious life of the Dominion, for which all lovers of peace and goodwill must be thankful.
