TO ESCAPE
TRIAL FOR HERESy
Procedure Believed Too Rus
ty to Be Used in Present
English Church Row.
BY A. G. GARDINER.

BY Radio to The Star.
LONDON, October ga storm of
rnprecedented violence is raging in
the Church of England as result of
the scene at st. Paul's last Sunday
when a prominent group of church
leaders rose. made formal protest
against the presence in the pulpit of
the Bishop OF Birmingham and march
ed out of the cathedral
This event has brought controversy
IN the church to a climax. The Bishop
of Birmingham, the Right Rev. e. w.
Barnes. is the most conspicuous mod
ernist and a highly combative pro-
tagoniSt of full acceptance of the
teachings of science.
Cause of Protest.
The immediate cause of the protest
at ST. Paul's was his recent denun'

substantiation as "a pagan heresy.
tiisprovable by indisputable expert
ence. Nowhere is the division more
acute than in St Pauls itself. Dean
Inge, who invited DR.. Barnes to
preach in the cathedral, denounces
Canon Bullock Webster. who led the
demonstration, as brawler.
Representative leaders of the En-
elish Church Union demand that
last heresy trial in the English
Church took place more than two CEN
turies ago, this rusty procedure is not
likely to be adopted
Moreover, on the issue involved re-
garding the sacrament, the main cur
rent of Anglican opinion is with the
Bishop of Birmingham. The ritualists
have made great headway in the
church, but little impression on the
mass of the people, who remain reso-
lutely evangelical.
Peace to Be Sought.
The possibilities are that the Arch
bishop of Canterbury will seek
formula to escape the quarrel and re-
store the appearance of peace. but
this will be difficult in view of the
coming controversy in Parliament
over a new prayer book.
Meanwhile the position of the church,
torn by quarrels and undermined by
scientific thought, is seriously preju-
diced, and there is difficulty in finding
enough candidates for ordination to
keep the system supplied. 1t Is not
improbable that one of the results OF
the present state of civil war will be
a movement toward disestabllshment
within the church itself.

just how this is to be done
"Close the doors and pulpits of the
evangelical churches against the represen-
