Likewise the rest of the liturgical year would be immovable, since all the feasts except Christmas and Epiphany depend upon Easter. In Dayton last week Dr. Samuel Parkes Cadman, chairman of the Federal Council's Department of Relations with Churches Abroad, announced that heads of the Orthodox and Protestant Churches and, unofficially, the Roman Catholic Church favor a reformed twelve-month calendar like the one for which Chile plumped.
