CHRCH LAYMAN'S VIEW
*" For what it is worth, the writer's opinion is that the average layman cannot conceive it to be in accordance with the will of the Founder of Christianity that until Nonconformists accept re-ordination from bishops (for which there is no authority whatever in the Gospels and practically none in the rest of the New Testament) they are to be treated as Christians not fit to communicate with ourselves," says Lieutenant-Colonel E. Mozley, D. 5.0., diocesan lay reader, in the Yorkshire Post.
" We want to be friends with them, just as we want to be friends with all Christians, and the day is long past when theological arguments from patriotic and Ca'tholic literature in favour of telling Nonconformists to keep their distance from us in supreme spiritual* matters can have any weight with us whatever."
