EPISCOP ALIANS 60
TO CONVENTION
continued from Flrst Page.

/
Of this city. Dr. w. p. Orr Of Lewes,
H. II. Hay Of New Castle. and ]. J. Ross
OF seaford.
The opening service will be Wednes-
day evening and the special preacher
viii be Bishop Charles II. Brent, who
was senior headquarters chaplain OF
The American Expeditionary Forces. on
Tuesday evening Bishop Brent will pre-
Side, and among the speakers VIII be
General Pershing, Admiral Sims, the
Rev. Orval A. Petty senior chaplain at
Tue base hospital at Bordeaux, and
Father Francis Duffy. chaplain OF the
old Slxty-ninth New York Regiment.
Another important event VIII be the
conservation Of st. Paul's Cathedral in
Detroit, which has been completed for
some time and which Is now free Of all
debt. II is considered one OF the hand
soonest religious adl1ces I'm the world.
Among the most important matters
before the convention are the following:
clear statement Of the church's atti-
tude toward Industrial and social un-
rest. This will probably take the form
or a Joint pastoral letter and is ex-
pected to embOdy many OF the recon-
mendations Of the now famous -Four
Bishops Letter" Of the Roman Catholic
Church.
Decision as to the matter OF the pro-
posed concordat with the Congrega-
tlonal Church. which would permit the
ordination by bishops OF the Episcopal
Church Of ministers, who would con-
tlnue in the Congregation communion.
Ihis has been advocated as step
toward church unity.
lewiston and enrichment OF the Book
OF Common Prayer. 10 involves some
changes that are regarded as revolu-
uonary by some and that are held by
diners TO be merely in line with the
Episcopal Church trend.
Action on the case OF Bishop Fred
erick J. Klnsman. OF Delaware. who re-
signed his see and his oflce in the
church because he felt mo especial
authority attached 10 the orders Of the
Episcopal Church and because he felt
loose thinking on matters Of theology
mad been permitted 10 60 unchecked |
The resignation Of Bishop Kinsman can
lead TO but one thing-his formal de- |
position from the ministry. but IL is |
expected also TO lead TO a demand for /
more rigid discipline and for clear
enunclation OF the position OF the /
church on matters OF faith.
Among the most controversial prob !
lens to be brought before the conven-
tion IS the revision OF the Prayer Book. |
as there has long been an effort OF the !
"high-church' wing 10 restore the /
Prayer Book along lines closely in
Keeping with the Prayer Book used by |
The Roman Catholic Church. A strong
OF social reform probably will |
also be introduced. though 10 is not be-
lieved tha tthe extreme radicals will by |
any means control the convention.
The program of the nationwide cam
paign Will also be fully discussed and
perhaps modified and strengthened in
many points. The campaign is already
well launched and Is absorbing a large
part Of the activity Of the dioceses and
individual parishes.
Preceding the convention. the thlry-
fourth annual convention Of the Broth
arhood Of st. Andrew is being held in
Detroit.
