Cling to Greed
View Of Episcopal

creeds was defended by Bishop A. c.
A. Hall Of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese Of Vermont and opposed by
DR.. George E. Brewer of New York.
former president Of the American
Surgical Association, in an address
before the Episcopal church congress
tonight.
"The question assigned to me-"
Bishop Hall said, lis: shall we dis
continue making creeds a requisite OF
church membership? My answer is:
mot IL we desire to retain our position
we call the Apostles Greed is a slight
enlargement of the baptismal creed
at Rome from at any tate the second
century. To give up this requirement
might well be understood as the sur
render of definite faith -
els this q time for creating fresh
difficulties within our own commun-
ion when efforts are being made to
bring about a reunion Of different re-
ligious bodies? 80 The creed, q
profession of belief, of course does
not stand alone: it is not an exclusive
test of discipleship The promise
of -unciation Of evil and Of ODE
dience to Gods commandments al
ways accompany the profession OF
belief"
II believe" said DR. Brewer, shat
the attitude of the church authorities
in insisting upon the acceptance OF the
creeds and other questionable beliefs
a., a condition of church membership
is causing a great and cruel injustice
to a great number of earnest, con-
scientious thinking people, men and
women of education ard high stand
ards of morality who accept the Cos
pei of Christ and strive to live within
it's teachings"
The medical profession regarded as
a precious heritage, DR.. Brewer con-
tinued, the thoughts OF Hippocrates.
Aristotle and other ancient writer's
upon anatomy, physiology and dis
ease, but would not accept their err
roneous views as facts.
