...argues Bishop Wand, that it is the destiny of Anglicanism to disappear into new forms of Christianity, "just as it is the destiny of a river to merge with the sea." Sixteen years ago, four Anglican dioceses left the communion to join with a number of Protestant groups in the new and lively Church of South India. Other Anglican provinces are considering the possibility of similar united churches in Ceylon, Pakistan and North India, Japan and Australia. In the U.S., Episcopal leaders are continuing to discuss the Blake-Pike proposals for a new superchurch encompassing six major Protestant bodies...
...considered "essential aids to child development." Newest, put on display last week at Manhattan's Toy Guidance Exhibit, is a magnetized doll-house ($15) raised on stilts and inhabited by a family of lifelike dolls. Any bright little girl can move the dolls by manipulating a magnetic wand underneath the floor.

Never on Sunday. Since the Church of England is an established church, each parish church is bound by law to hold Sunday services, whether anyone attends or not. But to former Bishop of London John Wand (now canon of St. Paul's) and London's Archdeacon Oswin Gibbs-Smith, a third possibility presented itself: "Why not a church that could be there for the daytime City workers?" Sixteen of the 40 churches were set up on a new basis and called "Guild Churches"-closed on Sundays, open on weekdays, with emphasis on the lunch hour. A number...
