WAIKATO DIOCESE
MORE TROUBLE BREWING. By Telegraph—Press Association HAMILTON, July 9. The atmosphere was excellent at the Waikato Diocesan Synod to-day, until Mr P. Gibson Okato), moved a resolution protesting at the ‘‘unauthorised practices” of the clergy in the diocese, and that the Synod record an emphatic protest against the actions of those clergy, who by their ‘‘flouting of the rules and regulations of the Church, and their persistence in the use of unauthorised practices, are gravely prejudicing the Church in the eyes of the people, and are also the cause of reflections being cast upon the honesty and honour of individual members, clerk and lay alike.” Immediately Mr Gibson had finished speaking, the Vicar-General (Archdeacon G. G. Bell), who presided, rose and pointed out that at that stage the motion came under the category of contentious matter, and he accordingly ruled it out of order. Mr Gibson said he would bring the matter up at a later stage.
