Church Unity
Sut,-1 feel convinced that this correspondence is developing in dangerous and futile direction. Mr. Murray-Walton's approach wasi disastrous: to use the words " intransigent " and "calling their bluff, at the outset, about people with whom you disagree, and members of your own Church at that, who possess, as Dr. Inge once admitted, more than their fair share of the scholarship of the Church of England, seem an odd approach to' a discussion on unity. The Archbishop's wise direction that Convocation should not discuss the report for at least year might be taken to heart by these eager controversialists.—Yours, etc.
Beckington, Somerset. A. F. JUDD.
SIR,—In many districts, especially new areas where the Christian minority is drawn together and ancient squabbles seem less important than a united Christian witness, a great measure of unity is already achieved. Here we have inter-Communion services in each other' churches, we share each other's buildings, we plan visiting campaigns together, and Anglican and Free Church choirs go carol-singing together. We certainly have "the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." All we haven't got is uniformity, and that would be -very dull—Yours
