...ceremony was more than a Church of England occasion, just as Dr. Temple is more than a British religious leader. This plump, unpretentious, leftist churchman is the nearest thing to an acknowledged leader that worldwide Protestantism has had since the Reformation. He made history by being the first Primate ever to invite non-Anglican churches to send official representatives to his enthronement. Churchmen came from 17 countries and from 22 different communions...
...Collectivism is coming, whether we like it or not," the delegates were told by no less a churchman than England's Dr. William Paton, co-secretary of the World Council of Churches, but the conference did not veer as far to the left as its definitely pinko British counterpart, the now famous Malvern Conference (TIME, Jan. 20, 1941). It did, however, back up Labor's demand for an increasing share in industrial management. It echoed Labor's shibboleth that the denial of collective bargaining "reduces labor to a commodity." It urged taxation designed "to the end that...

Even its last Governor, Sir Mark Young, was a man of the Imperial tradition: Cambridge-educated, a High Churchman, a cricketer and big-game hunter, a stubborn-hearted fighter...
...come out in favor of an economy of abundance is as safe for a churchman as to come out in favor of Heaven. About the still unsolved problem of how to make an economy of abundance work the churchmen of Britain are rather vague. They at no point tackle the problem of how to make the competitive forces of a free economy produce and distribute abundance. Competition is never mentioned in their report except to condemn its excesses. From start to finish the emphasis is on broad social planning and Government intervention in the interests of a more socialized economy...
...Many a churchman sees a Catholic decline ahead unless the Catholic Church can strengthen itself in the rural areas, where families are still big enough to keep church membership growing. With Protestants outnumbering Catholics in rural areas by nearly five to one (the national ratio is less than two to one), falling urban birthrates (ten adults now rear only seven children) threaten to make Catholicism relatively less important in the next generation. The cities depend for survival on immigration from the countryside or overseas. In 1941 urban Catholic churches are not drawing much new strength from either source...
