BISHOP POTTER DECLARES THAT THE CHURCH
WOULD NOT TAKE STEP WHICH MIGHT BIZ

FERENCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT


FERENCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT
Bishop Potter made emphatic denial yester-
day Of the truth Of the statement recently pub
,ished that the Episcopal Church in the United
States of America was about TO create an arch
bishop with archiepiscopa reside ce IN the city
OF Washington, anywhere else This expression
OF opinion the part OF the Bishop was brought
out by the publication Of dispatch purportng to
live proposed amendment to the constitution Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church. providing for an
archbishop primus OF the See OF Washington as
follows:
In every diocese the bishop (or bishop coadjutorl
should be chosen e E no suc Of ha oce
except that whenever the diocese which includes
%nn US snrende ne ts rSh,s TO choose It's bishop
and the office Of bishop OF said diocese snail b.
regulations as the general convention shall pre-
scribe. be the diocesan thereof, with the title or
Archbishop of Washington and Primus, and the
diocese vacated by the translation OF the primus
to Washington shall lthereupon elect another do
cesar
In commenting upon the above and other reports
of a similar character, Bishop Potter said:
Amy statement that 1t is probable that the Epis-
copal Church will have archbishop in Wash
ington has no authoritative foundation whatever.
The scheme is originated by few well-in-
tentioned gentlemen who have in mind to extricate
a part Of the diocese of Maryland from purely
local dilemma. In connection with the matter Of
its division. But 1t has never been entertained In
any authoritative commission or other body repre-
sentng the Episcopal Church. and 1t is extremely
doubtful whether II would find encouragement II
IL were.
1.-The American people" he continued. ARE not
greatly impressed By ttuar assumption. and they
not eager 10 see ecclesiastical bodies, whether
home bred or foreign brewed. establishing them
selves near the centre of government. The prin:
cipes of the Constitution Of the United States OF
America are distinctly hostile to ecclesiastical IN
reference In local or National governments With
those principles. the Episcopal Church is and has
always been in hearty sympathy. and 1t Is not
likely that It Will be apt to take step which
would provoke suspicion awaken apprehension
on the part OF the people generally.
as that referred TO would be premature and i'm
practicable The Episcopal Church In America has
not vet adopted the provincial SYSTEM that is. the
grouping of doceses around strong centre. such
as Boston. New-York Philadelphia or Chicago.
over which a metropolitan bishop should have
tain limited. general jurisdiction. Until 1t has done
that Archbishop OF Washington would be a
ting in a chair which rests upon an extremely nebu-
lous foundation"
