...convention recommends that the Church's presiding bishop be elected permanently (to retire at 70) instead of every six years, be relieved of any diocesan jurisdiction and be made president of the Church's National Council, its business and missionary body. To call the presiding bishop an archbishop as was suggested in 1934, is neither recommended nor disapproved in the commission's report. Presiding Bishop Perry's term is up, and last week he was thought agreeable to being reelected. Other likely candidates: Bishop Cook, Bishop Hobson, Bishop Henry Knox Sherrill of Boston, Bishop George Ashton...
From the earliest days, when Archbishop Laud threatened the very existence of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, there have been obstacles in the path of Harvard's progress. Whenever possible, the College has adapted itself to the changing conditions of national life and so guided its development that there have always been new fields ahead in which it might play the role, as Mr. Conant phrases it, of "innovator and pacemaker."

Last month, death came to 87-year-old Bishop Heard soon after he returned from Scotland where, during deliberations of the World Conference on Faith & Order, he was barred from an Edinburgh hotel, commiserated with by the Archbishop of York and Sir John Simon (TIME, Aug. 16).

Catholic worshippers heard Mass sung in Old Syriac or Aramaic, the language Christ supposedly spoke, by a bearded prelate who looked more Jewish than Catholic. He was Most Rev. Cyril George Dallal. 60, Archbishop of Mosul, head of the Syrian Rite of the Roman Catholic Church, shepherd of 90,000 Christians who live among the 1,000,000 Mohammedans of Iraq. He had just arrived in the U. S., to tour cities in which live Syrian Catholics. How many such there are, no U. S. prelate seemed...
...Dallal in 1926 became spiritual leader of Syrians whose faith is one of Christendom's oldest, who live on the sites of such ancient places as Ur, Nineveh and Babylon. Like his swart, bearded self, many of his flock exhibit in their countenances traces of their Jewish ancestry. Archbishop Dallal will find uncounted Syrian Rite noses in half-a-dozen U. S. cities, particularly Grand Rapids, Mich. and Jacksonville...
