...midway between U. S. Catholicism and U. S. Protestantism. Many Protestants, remembering instances of Episcopalian refusal to recognize the validity of other Protestant orders (latest instance: Manhattan's Bishop William Thomas Manning's) forbidding Dr. Karl Reiland to allow Presbyterian Henry Sloane Coffin to officiate at a communion service in an Episcopal church (TIME, Nov. 25), think Episcopalians have no right to call themselves Protestants. Many high-church Episcopalians agree with them, dislike the name Protestant, would like to change their church's name to something like American Catholic.* Last week the P. E. high-church weekly...
...evidence, both historical and contemporary. Furthermore, every time the Episcopalian Church refuses to recognize the orders of a Protestant minister as equally valid with that of an Episcopalian priest, or refuses to permit a Protestant minister to officiate at its altars or even refuses to join in a common Communion service with Protestants, it proves this contention. Would not the Episcopal Church be much truer to both history and facts if it dropped the word 'Protestant' from its title and called itself what it really is: 'The Catholic Church'-Anglo-Catholic in England and American-Catholic...

Said the bishop's letter: "I must earnestly beg you, and I do hereby officially admonish you, not to carry out your plans for the above-mentioned communion service at St. George's Church." Furthermore, the bishop characterized the policy of the Christian Unity League as "a strangely mistaken and a clearly disruptive one. The members of the Christian Unity League will not aid the cause of unity by seeking to force their views on others...
...prohibition refers to "church" in the sense of "congregation" and would not apply to the loan of a building. Though he tactfully yielded to the bishop's "official admonition," Dr. Reiland felt his legal position was as good as his bishop's; his moral position better. The communion service was shifted to the chapel of Union Theological Seminary; the other sessions of the league were held at St. George...
