special interview, given jointly by the This was the final summing up, in a Rev. G. D. Rosenthal, vicar of St. Agatha, Sparkbrook, and. Canoa F.G. Belton, vicar of St. Patrick's, two of the leaders of the 15 Birmingham clergy men who are in grave dispute with their bishop, Dr. Bardea,
Father Rosenthal is the chairman of the separate board of finance which the vicars of the 14 parishes have formed on withdrawing from the diocesan board of finance.
"The present critical situation," he said, has arisen because the bishop has demanded that we should remove the sacrament from the open church. We feel unable to do this. First, because of the reason which the bishop gives for his request. He says that the doctrine of the real cbjective. Presence is magic, that there is no change of any kind in the bread and wine, and that, therefore, if people pay their devotions before it, they are guilty of fetish worship.
DR. WAKEFIELD'S ATTITUDE. We feel conscientiously unable to do anything that would imply that the Bishop is justified in the view he holds. We claim that the doctrine of the real objective Presence is part of the doctrine of the Church of England, and, as a matter of fact, this view has been sup- ported even in the secular court.
Further, the whole question of Re servation is at the present moment be ing considered by the House of Bishops. Were we to yield to the demands of Dr. Barnes we should be vitally prejudicing the issue which is now subjudice. [

If the Bishop of Birmingham wants to take action, by all means lat him. It would probably mean a split sin the Church of England, which I personally would welcome. I cannot, however, das agiar the Archbishop of Canterbury allowing it to be done. "At any rate, we do not care two straws."
