Suffragan bishop issue discussed at Connecticut diocese meeting
Bishop Chauncey Brewster addressed the annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut noting a drift toward spiritual renewal and opposition to centralization. He did not seek election of a suffragan bishop that year due to his impending Europe trip and would not delay diocesan plans for provincial integration. He highlighted deaths of five bishops, upcoming synod actions, and the church's social service and education boards while stressing accurate parish rolls and social righteousness.
