Dr. A. G. Buxton, rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Council Bluffs, announced after his farewell sermon that he would leave the Episcopal faith to join the Church of Christ. The announcement caused a scene as he criticized dogma and tradition, saying the Episcopal Church bases authority on scripture not creed, and that its liturgy lacks a full scriptural gospel. Buxton, in office four years, has clashed with Bishop Morrison and cited concerns over ritualism and ecclesiastical legislation.
