BISHOP BARNES
OPPOSITION DECLARED
RESERVATION ISSUE
■ ; (A.P.A. and "Sun.") : LONDON, 12th December. "The passage of the Prayer Book by Parliament will give implicit approval, to erroneous doctrines perpetuating discord, and will prevent the Church from profiting by the nejet religious revival,*' said Bishop Barnes at the Birmingham Diocesan Conference. "The Archbishop of York says chaos wijl ensue if the book is rejected, I feel that J chaos is far more likely in the event of its approval, because of contentious rubrics, loosely drafted. The bishops are given dangerous and unprecedented power* to make subordinate rubrics, .npssesslng the force of law, eonseqweStly the bishops do not know where they stand. Naturally, I shall try to continue loyal to my duties, but the uncertainty will render it impossible, to restore discipline. If the measure rejected the reservation of the Holy Communion, the changes could easily be carried out, enablihg the Church within thirty years to restate theology in harjnony -with modern knowledge."
