PROTESTANT CHURCHES
THE MOVE FOR UNITY [Per Pi ess Association.] AUCKLAND, Dec. 10. A strong desire for negotiations with other Protestant churches with the ultimate view to some form of union was expressed by f he Auckland Presbytery last evening. A suggestion from the Assembly’s committee on union that negotiations should be commenced with the Congregational and Methodist Churches as a first stop was rejected in favour of a resolution passed by the Presbytery at its previous meeting, including also the Anglican and Baptist churches in the invitation. The Rev. W. J. Comric, w’ho moved the notion, said that they should on no account leave the Church of England out of account in the preliminary conversations. His own opinion was that the differences between tho Presbyterians and the Baptists were greater than tho e between tho Presbyterians and the Church of England, but that was i.o reason why they should not enter into closer co-opera-tion with the Baptists. The value of such general conversations was stressed by the Rev. I. E. Bertram, who seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.
