Passion and Resurrection. When, under cover of wartime secrecy, the Most Reverend and Right Honorable Cyril Forster Garbett, Archbishop of York, Primate of England and Metropolitan, slipped across the Atlantic Ocean into the U.S. (it was his first visit), there was no Protestant churchman who could have impressed Americans more. For the Archbishop was a symbol of one great Protestant church which, under the impact of war, had suffered a passion and predicated a resurrection...
...Desperate Surgery. These program notes might be important to churchmen. But most laymen did not know who the Archbishop was. They might remember vaguely that Dr. Garbett was jointly responsible (with the Archbishop of Canterbury) for proclaiming the necessity of a New World Order embodied in the revolutionary Malvern Resolutions (TIME, Jan. 20, 1941). They might also remember that last September Dr. Garbett had taken a long trip in the opposite direction-to Moscow, to give the hand of traditional ecumenical brotherhood to Russia's newly reinstated Patriarch.

Cyril Forster Garbett (rhymes with carpet) was born (1875) in the little Hampshire parish of Tongham, which served the military camp Queen Victoria had recently established at Aldershot. Garbett's father was vicar. Tongham lies near the chalk downs of Salisbury Plain and the heather-and-fir country of the New Forest. Here, until he was 23, Cyril Garbett lived with his three brothers and one sister (all raised on his father's midget salary). Later Cyril Garbett decided to follow his father, grandfather, and two uncles into the Church of England...
...assistant curate (at ?20 a year), Cyril Garbett went to the combined vicarage of Portsmouth and Southsea, which, under the name of Portsea, was the biggest vicarage in England. The shy, reserved youth had exchanged the quiet of the cloud-shadowed chalk downs for some of the toughest waterfront slums in Britain. As quietly and systematically as he had dug in the vicarage garden, young Cyril Garbett dug into the causes of slums and poverty, turned up the disturbing idea that no matter how much help the churches' spiritual program and social services may give, the roots of most...
