DEAN CARRINGTON GIVES ADDRESS ON PRAYER BOOK
The first of a series of lectures on “Our Prayer Book” was given by Dean Carrington in Church House last evening. The Rev C. E. Perry presided over an attendance of about fifty. The Dean gave a very interesting address on the relationship of the Church of New Zealand to the Mother Church in England. He mentioned the difficulties of the first settlers who rame from a country where the church was established. These dif Acuities were settled by the constitution on a voluntary basis of the Church of the Province of New Zealand. However, there was a fear amongst some lhat the loss of communion with the Church of England might come from their experience, though they bound themselves by the fundamental clauses never to depart from the formularies of the United Church of England and Ire land. Now the Church of England was revising her Prayer Book, people in New Zealand had not the same liberty as the Churches of Scotland, Ireland, South Africa and Canada. The Dean was accorded a vote of thanks on the motion of the Rev C. A. Fraer.
