LAMBETH CONFERENCE
BIRTH CONTROL AND DIVORCE A COMMITTEE APPOINTED (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 22nd January, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, 21st January. Declaring that tlie Lambeth Conference birth control and divorce resolutions were revolutionary, Canon C. Long, of Birmingham, urged the Convocation of Canterbury Lower House to appoint a committee to examine the resolutions before a general debate thereon. He added: “Although many we know and respect are prepared to support the bishops’ limited approval of birth control, these resolutions genuinely distressed and perplexed a very large number of clergy and lay people, who deeply regretted that bishops had given even a limited approval to contraceptives, the use of which, as the bishops admit, are open to great and terrible abuse. The resolution was carried by 53 votes to 50. BROADCAST SERVICES (Received 22nd January, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, 21st January. Bishop Ely, presenting the committee’s report on the value of broadcast services, said it showed that religious broadcasts were very valuable. There was no evidence to show it prevented church-going; also there was no evidence that the people leant back in tlieir armchairs smoking and taking the services too casually.
