Much Hope. Nearly all the assembly's decisions were unanimous. Chairman and newly elected president was Yugoslavia's esteemed, bull-necked Andrija Stampar, rector of the University of Zagreb. He had, said one delegate, a "unanimity complex." He would make assembly procedure a personal issue: "If you have confidence in your chairman you will adopt this item"; or "I would be the most unhappy man in the world if the assembly rejected this proposal."

...Rector Melish stoutly defended his son for "doing the work which the rector himself would have done, had he been 20 years younger." He added: "A free pulpit that utters things that everyone accepts is an absurdity." Father & son issued a joint statement pointing out that an Episcopal minister "is not the employee of the vestry or of a board of trustees. Nor does he speak for the people of his parish in the sense that he must conform to the sentiments of the majority ... To say that he may speak his mind fully in the pulpit, but to deny...
