...will it be before mankind realizes that large families are a form of selfishness?" demanded the Rt. Rev. Ernest Williams Barnes, bishop of Birmingham, in a lecture at Cambridge University last week. His audience waited for more. Bishop Barnes was at his favorite sport- setting off firecrackers under his Anglican brethren...
About a year ago the Bishop of London, the Rt. Rev. John William Charles Wand, decided that the time had come to do something drastic about British apathy toward the Anglican Church. The man he chose to organize the job was energetic Frank Tyler, 40, who had been parish priest in two of London's toughest, poorest suburbs.

But Father ran the family...
...Maynard Smith, the latest interpreter of this great event, is a canon emeritus of Gloucester Cathedral, but he writes as a historian first and an Anglican second. Henry's history has been finecombed by eminent scholars of the past generation (notably the Englishman A. F. Pollard and the American R. B. Merriman),and Canon Smith has no advantage over them in sources or in scholarship. From the vantage point of the mid-20th Century, however, he can see more ironies than they could in the Reformation carried out by bluff King...
