...made to emphasize the omission from this title of the word "Protestant", which it is the high-roaders' ambition to have stricken from the official name of their Church. Milwaukee Presbyterians had placed one of their church buildings at the Episcopalians' disposal and here Bishop William Walter Webb of Milwaukee welcomed his brethren to the diocese in which "the first attempt at a religious order for men in the English Church after the Reformation was made"; the diocese which contains some of Anglo-Catholicism's earliest relics- the first stone altar, the first rood screen, a cloth...
Captain Matthew Webb in 1875 and William Burgess in 1911 had demonstrated that if you really felt like it you could swim across the English Channel. So that was that.
