CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND FREE CHURCHES
ARCHBISITOP ' S VIEW ON REUNION Reeeived Thursday, 7.5 p.m. LO'NDON, March 27. The reunion of the Church of Eng- i land and the Free Churches was the J sqbject of an address hy the Arch- 1 bishop of Canterhury (I)r. G. F. Fisher) ; a't the Juhilee Congress of the" Free ; Church Council, Londqn. He was loudly applaudpd for saying : "Reunion, if and when "it comes, v/ill he reunion of the Church qf England, 1 not reunion with thp Church of Eng1 i land by you." He said the Free Churches and the ! Church of England, in the real sense, i ; remained the Church of England in j this country, but had hpcorne separ- , ated. He anticipated the time when Methodists, Congregationalists, Bap- 1 tists and Presbyteriams wpuld, within a united Church, still function with their own identity, as much as the | different Orders within the Roman i Catholic Church. ! He expressed the opinion that the j churches had no time during tlie war 1 to consider - the question, hut they I should do so now. Was reunion a livJ ing issue here as it was in many parts of Britain? He gave no giridance, hut raised that simple questipn. If the J answer was in the affirmative, yras it I their task to try to remedy the dislocation that had occurred in the Body of , Christ?
