by E.F. Carpenter, Canon of Westminster
Over the past eleven years the Church of England has been occupied with the revision of Canon Law. Some of the changes proposed reflect the general trend of our national life towards greater centralisation of authority and of responsibility, in every sphere.
Canon Carpenter sees this as matter for regret, above all in the life of the Established Church. Unable to discipline the nation, the Church seeks to discipline herself; but how high a price ought to be paid, within the Church or elsewhere, for the manifold blessings of efficiency?
