CHRISTIANITY AND CHURCH
Sin,—It would be an enormous help to those of your readers who are interested in this particular correspondence if Canon England and Sir Philip Colfox would let us know exactly what it is they desire to alter. Both of them must have some idea, at any rate, of the kind of creed they wish to see t%ke the place of the existing creed of the Church. Canon England asks the C. of E. to " modify her creeds and formu- laries in the light of a new revelation." I must be very ignorant, but I am quite unaware that there has been a " new revelation," and it would be a distinct help to me, and to many others, if we were told in plain black and white exactly what it is we are asked to modify. Again, would Sir Philip Colfox tell us exactly how much of the " many creeds " which have " collected round the Christian religion" he would like to "slough off." I did not know there were many of these, having only learned three.
Generalisations in a matter like this are of ro help to anyone. For my own part, I know exactly what it is I believe. I want to know just as exactly what it is that the two gentlemen whose names I have men- tioned believe themselves. We shall all know then just where we
stand.—Faithfully yours, BERTRAM MAYNARD. Blakeney Rectory, Holt, Norfolk.
