CHURCH SACRAMENTS
LAXITY OF ADMINISTRATION. . CRITICISED BY CANTERBURY CONVOCATION. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.) LONDON, May 2. A report of the convocation of Canterbury committee seriously criticises the “current misuse” of the sacrament of holy baptism and the laxity of the administration. It recommends a shortened and simplified service for the public baptism of infants saying: “The effect of its misuse is that a majority of parents bring their children to the font with little understanding of the significance of the act. often from most inadequate motives.”
