Backward. Spiritual climax of the Washington gathering was a communion service in the Cathedral, conducted by Bishop James Edward Freeman, Dean Noble Cilley Powell and Canon Anson Phelps Stokes, to which believers of all faiths were invited. Such a service was conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury after the Oxford Conference last summer, with the stipulation that it did not set a precedent.

To them this celebration is no mere Lord's Supper or fellowship meal; it is a sacrificial act performed by a priest...
Virgin Birth. Historical evidence is "inconclusive," although the Archbishop of York believes in it, as he does in the Resurrection, which the commission calls "the central fact in human history...
...would like to think of itself as an institution in which believers of various sorts might find themselves at home seemed evident last week in a 242-page report on Doctrine in the Church of England, product of 15 years of work by a commission now headed by the Archbishop of York.

Y. diocese (TIME, Dec. 21, 1936), a further reaction against such games of chance was noticeable in the Catholic Church. Archbishop Samuel Alphonsus Stritch of Milwaukee had put a ban upon all games in which money or the equivalent could be won. Bishop Henry Althoff of Belleville, Ill. not only forbade church gambling but voiced the hope that his people would support their churches by direct contribution rather than parish parties and festivals. Archbishop John Joseph Glennon of St. Louis condemned...
