PRAYERS FOR BISHOPS
BAPTIST CHURCH REQUEST GRATEFUL FOR REJECTION Reod. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. “We sympathise with the bishops, and are asking for special prayers on thear behalf in all Baptist churches on Christmas Day,” states Mr. M. Aubrey, secretary of the Baptist Union. He adds that Baptists are not rejoicing, but are grateful for the defeat of the Book. They realise the bitter disappointment to the revered Anglican leaders, but the new Book meant the destruction of the hopes of a Protestant reunion. Baptists trust that the rejection will demonstrate the country’s ingrained Protestantism, and thereby open the way to co-operation. KING'S ACCESSION OATH Lord Parmoor, who is regarded as a high authority on ecclesiastical law, expresses the opinion that disestablishment would not affect the King’s accession oath. The Act of 1534 made the King the head of the English Church. The only change in the oath was the deletion of the reference to the Roman Catholic Church, prior to the present King's accession.— Sun. »
