Ritualists Split as Churches Reorganize Under New Vicars
The John Bull reports St Matthias parish plans to leave for St Faith as a new vicar takes charge. Bishop of London assigns a curate to St Matthias to abolish vestments and incense. Over 100 St Bartholomew’s Brighton members join the Roman Catholic Church in two weeks. St James Hatcham curate-in-charge MacColl angers Tooth supporters by removing vestments and lamps. A St Mary Magdalene Munster Square Sunday service reportedly used incense and other rites despite laws. A Bristol St Raphael’s group protests the withdrawal of Ward’s licence. The bishop faces criticism over authority and a historic church closing seen as unprecedented since the Reformation.
