WEIGHING UP THE CHURCH
ENGLISH DEAN’S OBSERVATIONS. “We should never lose sight of the most momentous fact that this longsustained, continuous, spiritual life of the Church exists and needs to be taken into account.” said the Dean of St Paul’s, -Dr W. R. Matthews, in a recent address. “If our conscience lead us to cut ourselves off from it, we must obey our conscience, but let us be clear about what we are doing: we may be pulling up our roots. What I protest against is the petulant dismissal of the whole of this living tradition as nonsense by people who have never troubled to discover what it really is. The young may be excused for thinking, in their intellectual arrogance, that smartly-expressed objection can refute a great movement of the spirit, but it is unworthy of grownup men.”
