Reform of Convocation and Catholic Movement Debate
Mr Tobay reads Bristol branch resolution for Convocation reform and a paper enforcing it. The council is urged to ask the Church Association to consider the subject. Monsignor Capel lectures on Catholic movement in England condemning Ritualists as bound by authority and urging liberty. the Trinity Synod's session ends with limited liturgical changes and calls for further consideration. A plan to complete St Pauls with a medieval architect sparks public debate. A deputation seeks legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, backed by Nonconformist and Jewish ministers. Government signals willingness but notes Cabinet divisions. Jewish rabbis argue for compatibility with divine laws.
