10 EPSCOPAL CHURCH FACINE B CLAS Need for Strong Regional| Government Urged by One Faction. By the Associated P NEW YORK, August 1.—A clash | over the existing form of government | in the Episcopal Church is forecast at the general convention of the church | in New Orleans next October, m ity and minority reports on provincta organization made public today indi- cating a sharp division of sentiment on_proposed constitutional changes. The problem dates back to the for- mation of the American church in 1785, and has been debated with more or less vigor in every general con vention since 1865. It revolves around | the question of » need in the church for strong provineial, or regional, or: ganizations in varlous parts of the country, composed of diocese in geo- graphical and sympathetic propin-| quity. Underlying the proposition is the opposition of a considerable ele- ment in the church to archbishops, who, they feel, would sooner or later be created as ecclestiastical heads of | the proposed provincial bodies. Finan cial problems of a vexing character are also involved. Powers Limited. There are eight provincial organiza- tlons in the church, but it is pointed out by the majority of the joint com- mission, whose final report now made public, that the powers given to the provinces in 1913 were purposely limited. whereby “they were in large measure prevented from accomplish ing anything of outstanding meri This majority, 14 bishops, priests and | laymen in a commission of now proposes a series of amendments to the constitution and canons of the church which will glve the provinces a distinct standing and confer upon them ers of relatively high im portance. The final report of the commission recommends that requests for appro priations for work in a province shall be made with the provincial organi- zation, which shall prepare the budget for the dloceses and misslonary dis tricts within that province: that ap- propriations by the mnatic council of the church. based on this budget, shall be made in bulk to the province and distributed by it to its constituent dioceses and districts; that missionary bishops within the province shall be elected by the synod of the province: that consent to the election of bishops | shall be given by the synod of the province, and that the resignation of a bishop within a province shall be acted upon by the house of bishops of such province. Would Stir Interest. In advocating these changes the ma- jority urge that they are necessary for the “creation of larger interest in the church’s program of work, in order that it may be adequately sup- ported”; that a more effective organi- vation of the church for carrying on its work will thereby be created; that they will relieve the congestion of business in the general convention, and will develop the province into “an effective unit as a means of accom- plishing the foregolng objects. Touching specifically upon the rec- ommendations with regard to budget and appropriations of funds, the minority say: “This recommendation would place in the hands of a few dioceses In_missionary provinces the control of the missionary work within the provinces. This work is done by bishops who represent the whole church, and with funds supplied by the whole church. We believe that the proposed recommendations, if adopted, would introduce a feeling of sectionalism and would also_seriously interfere with the proper administra- tion of the misdlonary work of the church. We belleve that the present method by which the making up of the missionary budget in the domestic field receives the careful consideration and approval of the missionary bishops be- fore it is presented to the national counell, is a much better method than the alternative proposed in the report of the commission. No Greater Power. “There are in the church eight provinces,” says the report; “in five of these provinces there would be no en- largement of powers if the most dras- tic of these recommendations were adopted, as there are no missionary districts for which bishops could be elected or to which funds could be allocated. The corresponding loss in missfonary interest in these five prov- inces, where nearly all the funds for our missionary work are contributed, would be most serious.” Summing up their objections, the minority members of the commission say: “‘At a time when we are endeavor- ing with success to awaken the na- tional conscience of the church and to get away from ‘parochialism’ and “diocesanism’ the report of the commis- sion proposes to introduce a feature which, In our judgment, would create ‘provincialism.” We belleve those who support our missionary work support it because it is the work of the whole church, administered by the national council, and we belleve that the sec- tlonalizing of our missionary work would be a fatal mistake. Such action would not be a ‘distribution of re- sponsibility.” In our judgment it would be a surrender of a great principle.” BIBLE SCHOOL CLOSES. 150 Children Enrolled at Ninth Street Church.

NEW YORK, August 1.—The siege of the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, seat of the Russian Orthodox Church of America, came to a close yesterday with the dramatic capitulation of Bishop Adam Phillipovsky, who for a month had defied the power of the police, the majesty of the Supreme Court and the violence of the opposing religious faction to oust him from the church. Clad in the ecclesiastical robes of his office and wearing the heavily jeweled headdress known as the klo- buk, he strode down the steps of the cathedral in the presence of hundreds of spectators, and surrendered to sher- iffs. He immediately was placed un- der arrest and the control of the church and its wide-flung property passed into the hands of his rival, Archbiship Platon Rodzestvensky, leader of the opposing faction. Confreres Refuse to Go. Despite the bishop’s surrender two hours after the dead line set by Su- preme Court Justice Levy last Satur- day, his intrenched confreres refused to evacuate the church premises to a small army of sheriffs, detectives and members of the Platon group, who walted outside therportals. The be- slegers held a short war council. Axes were procured and a moment later the stout cathedral doors were splintered under lusty blows. The remaining score of defenders then surrendered without protest. Bishop Phillipovsky and several of his lleutenants were lodged in Ludlow Street Jall, pending disposition of the contempt of court charge against him. He faces a $250 fine and a possible jail sentence. The victory of Archbishop Rodzest vensky culminated an 18 months' battle for control of the church, with properties valued at $40,000,000 and of jurisdiction over its diocese em- bracing 300 priests and 250 churches. In 1922, the archbishop frustrated the attempt of the Rev. John S. Kedrov- sky, who claimed to have been ap pointed Soviet bishop of North Amer- ica by the Soviet Church of Russia, to gain leadership, when Supreme Court Justice Ford denied the Soviet Church the right to assume control of the American diocese. Rival Enters Cathedral. Bishop Phillipevsky entered the fight in June, 1925, when Supreme Court Justice Lydon proclaimed him ruling bishop of the North American dlocese. Supported by police, he took possession of the cathedral July 1, ousting Archbishop Platon and pre- cipitating the litigation which culmi. nated ultimately in the ouster order by Supreme Court Justice Levy. During the legal fight there have been constant conflicts between the opposing factions. Last Sunday the kneeling in prayer in the street of one of the worshippers alone averted what threatened to be a serious riot. Ends Sermon Series. Rev. Dr. Willam S. Bishop will preach the concluding sermon of the series on “‘History and the Bible,” in St. Thomas' Church tomorrow morn- ing, his subject being “The Six Crea- tive Da: EPISCOPAL. 5 St. St?hms Church 3017 14th St. N.W.
