...Many an Anglican approved. Kenneth Ashcroft, a rural dean near London, exclaimed: "People who put a halfpenny in the collection plate . . . should be slung out of the church." His church, he added, had raised collections 20% by substituting open plates for the velvet alms bags generally used in England...
...bulwark of low churchmen in the Episcopal and Anglican churches is the Evangelical Education Society. Last week there arrived in Manhattan a great Anglican evangelical, Rt. Rev. Joseph Wellington Hunkin, 50, Lord Bishop of Truro, scheduled to be chief speaker at the society's 75th anniversary meeting in Philadelphia this week. An able pulpit orator, Dr. Hunkin will spend a month in the U.S., preach in Episcopal churches and seminaries in Detroit, Boston, Washington, Richmond...
...family of Harvard's President James Bryant Conant, the shades of the elder Henry James, the late Financial Publisher Clarence W.

Within this church there would be great freedom of doctrine and worship, but Anglicans would be asked...
