THE BIBLE : A NEW TRANSLATION
Sm,—In A Spectator's Notebook of My 16th, Janus asked whether the proposal made by the Bishop of Durham in the recent Convocation of York bore " any relation to the work already going forward under the chairmanship of the Bishop of Truro? " I am happy to say that the reference was to precisely that work. It is only at a very preliminary stage ; and an inter-denominational committee is in the process of being formed in conjunction with the University Presses of Oxford and Cam- bridge. The committee hopes to set the great work in motion. The Bishop of Durham's proposal in the Northern Convocation and a similar proposal in the Southern have secured the approval of both Convocations for official representatives of the Church of England to sit upon this inter- denominational committee. The meetings at which I had the honour of taking the chair were two exploratory meetings of the committee in
process of being formed.—Yours sincerely, J. W. TRURON. Lis Escop., Truro.
