The Archbishop of Brisbane, at Weybridge, declared that the Church needed the power to govern itself. When the laity possessed the power they ought to have, and a definite legislative body existed whose decision the Bishops and Churchwardens respect, there would be efficiency in administration. The programme of the Lambeth Conference shows that the Archbishop of Melbourne 'has been invited to speak on the subject ~re Union and Intecommunion, the Archbishop of Brisbane on Organisation with the Anglican Communion, the Bishop of Newcastle on the Moral Witness of the Church in its relation to Social and Economic Questions, the Bishop of Perth on Religious Education in Schools, the Bishop of Wellington on Ministers of Healing, and the Archbishop of Sydney on Sunday Observance.
