cred and granted by a majority vote.
with the agreement that this church in
the future do not concecrate any other
bishops without the consent OF the
| American house OF bishops. Bishop
| Dudley. chairman OF the house. was
instructed TO put himself in communI-
cation with all the bishops OF the
church. in order to obtain the required
constitutional majority. There are
cighty-two bishops constituting the
house. whereas at the Cincinnati ses-
sion only fifty bishops were present. 1t
Mexican church will be honored with
this majority. The proposition was all
the more favorably received. however.
because at the last general convention
in San francisco n report from the Mex
lean church gave promise OF organic
harmony with the forms OF worship of
the Episcopal church. This action of
the bishops means the establishment OF
n National Mexican Episcopal church.
independent In its Jurisdiction. but still
under the tutelage and patronage OF
the Episcopal church OF the United
States.
The Mexican bishops elected are the
following: Rev. Henry Forester who
has been experimenting the Episcopal
work in Mexico for the past ten years.
and who translated the entire ritual
and book OF common prayer into the
Spanish language; Rev. Jose Antonio
Carton and Rev. Fausto Orihivela. All
these are engaged in work in and
about the City OF Merico. The first
bishop OF Mexico was Bishop Riley.
Charges OF a serious character Mere
made against him some ten or twelve
years ago and he resigned his office.
There are at present some thirty-fve
Episcopal congregations in Mexico. with
some twenty native clergymen. and the
prospects OF future growth are very
bright.
