DESIRE FOR SEPARATION.
CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUESTION. Teleqrraph—Press Association—Copyright. Australian And N.Z. Cable Association. (Received September 28, 10.55 a.m.) SYDNEY, September 28. The Church of England Conference discussed the question of breaking the legal bond connecting the Church in England and Australia. It was urged against the proposal that the change might result in a schism and involve doctrinal as well as liturgical changes. Legislation might also have a detrimental effect upon the union of churches. Bishop Long intimated that he would move in the Synod a resolution favouring the change, which was desired simply to secure self-govern-ment in Australia. Dean Talbot said such a movement should emanate from the churches and should be referred to the Synod, not vice versa. The debate was talked out.
