HOWDR.BELDENDELANY FOUNDTHELIGHT.

InDr.SeldenDelany'sbook,"Why Rome?"hetellsthestoryofhisconversion.Asiswellknownalready, hewasuntilhisconversionRectorof theProtestantEpiscopalChurchofSt. MarytheVirgin,NewYork.The booksetsforththeconsiderations whichledtohisdecisiontojointhe CatholicChurch.Inanarticlepublishedinthe"Commonweal,"underthe headingof''ThirtyYearsanAnglo-Catholic,"summinguphisconsideration oftheAnglo-Catholicposition,ofwhich hehasbeenforyearsaleadingexponent,Dr.Delanyconcludesthat"Since thereisincreasingevidenceincontemporaryhistorythattheCatholicChurch isthemostvigorousandflourishing presentationofthereligionoftheGospel,"while"'Anglo-Catholicism'islosinggroundintheAnglicanChurch, andisanegligiblefactorinthereligiousforcesofthemodernworld,"the "Anglo-Catholic"''isinevitablydriven totheconclusionthathemustmake hissubmissiontoRome."

ThisisoneoftwoarticleswhichDr. Delanywillwriteforthe"Commonweal,"givingsomeofthemoretrenchantconsiderationswhichhaveled tohisconversion,considerationswhich aresetforthcompletelyinhisbook, "WhyRome?"whichisinthenature ofadiaryofhisexperience.

"Formanyyears,"hewrites,"Ihave proceededontheassumptionthatGod hadplacedmeintheAnglicanministryandwascountingonmetohelp developtheCatholicmovement,so thatsomedaythewholemembership oftheAnglicanChurchmightbeCatholicinconvictionsandpractices, andthenreunionwiththerestofCatholicChristendomcouldsoonbecome areality."

Now,aftermanyyearsofeffortin thisdirection,Dr.Delanyexpresses himselfasdisillusionedanddiscouragedwith"Anglo-Catholicism."The movement"isnotmakinganyheadway.Itisseriouslydividedintothe twocampsofthepro-Romansandthe Liberal'Catholics.'InEnglandithas slumpedbadlysincethefailuretoput throughtherevisionoftheBookof CommonPrayer.Theproposednew PrayerBookbroughttolightthecleavagethathadlongexistedamong'Anglo-Catholics.' IntheAmerican EpiscopalChurchtheauthoritiesare suspiciousoftheCatholicmovement; andmanyoftheyoungerclergy,who havebeentrainedintheseminaries tocarryontheirministryalongCatholiclines,finditdifficulttoobtain positions.

"Inmyownparochialandeditorial workIhavefeltincreasinglythatI waswalkingbackandforthinablind alley,outoftouchwiththemainflow oflifeintheEpiscopalChurch."

Dr.Delanytracesthegrowinginsistenceoftheconvictionthathewas inconflictwiththeprevailingtrends of andthoughtinhisenvironment.Thesamefactswhichheighten. edhisCatholicismledhimtotheconclusionthatProtestantismisdecadent andinprocessofdissolution.

"TheProtestantEpiscopalChurch," Dr.Delanyobserves,"isarealityquitewooden,stiffandconservative, TheCathoicChurchislikewiseareality-alwaysteachingdogmaticallythe oldfaith,butadaptingherselfslowly throughthecenturiestothechanging needsofmen.Ifonewantsarefined liturgicalandsociallyirreproachable Protestantism,onecanfinditinthe ProtestantEpiscopalChurch.Ifone wantsadevelopedandpracticalCatholicism,onecanfinditanywhereinthe worldinthatvastecclesiasticalorganisation,whosecentreisatRomein theSeeofPeter.

TheProtestantsofJapan,wellaware oftheimportanceofcharitiesforthe spreadoftheirteachingsandfacing seriousdifficultiesinkeepingtheir flockstogether,haverecentlystarted severalworksofcharitywhichwill,no doubt,proveapowerfulmeansofmissionaryactivities.ThevariousProtestantchurchesofTokyohaveraised fundsforthereliefofthegreatnum- berof societiesunemployed.Twoco-operative havebeencreatedwithinthe lastfwyears,oneofwhichiscalled "TheKingdomofGodMovement," andtheother'TheMutualAidandCooperativeMovementintheChurchof Japan."Thislattersocietyisthe workofthewellknownChristianleaderinJapan,Mr.ToyohikoKagawa.Its purposeistostrengthenthespiritof solidarityamongthemembersofa Christiancongregation,toconfereconomicbenefitsuponthoseafflictedby sickness,poverty,accident,unemploy- ment,etc.,andatthesametime,to teachthemthepracticeofmutual charity.Mr.KagawahopestoextendhissocietyoverthewholeProtestant world.Astotheobjectionthatmu- tualaidsocietieswillmerelyincrease thenumberof"riceChristians,"those whojointheChurchformaterialbenefitsreceived,Mr.Kagawareplies,"Ido notthinkso.Loveisathingthatis transmitted.Loveiscontagious....Andunlessweaffordapracticalexpressionoflovethroughaneffective mutualaidsystemintheChurch,its memberswillnotknowhowtolove others,andtheChurchwillneverpros- per.TheweaknessoftheProtestant Churchliesinthefactthatitsmembersaretooindividualistic.They cometochurchonlytoworship,anddonothaveconnectionwithonean- otherasalivingorganism.Asa churchgrouptheyhavenoprogramme
