Leslie'sReformationBackground

RussiaDisproved

the'Branch' TheorytoKeenAnglicanYouth

ByREV.JOHNB.EBEL

In1907ShaneLeslie,a NorthIrelandProtestant, madeatriptoRussia. Unlikemanywho,subsequentto1917,wereto journeytothatland,hewas insearchnotofCommunism, butofreligioustruth. RearedanAnglican,he subscribedatthattimeto the"branch"theory-that Christianitywascomposed ofthreeparallelbranches, eachequallyauthoritative andtrue,withtheircentres inRome,Canterbury,and Constantinople.

TheAnglicanyouthof22 hadbeenshakeninacceptanceofthe"branch"theory bythreechieffactors.The firstwasthewritingsof CardinalNewman,which, however,hewasnotyet preparedtofollowtotheir logicalconclusion.The secondwastheencyclicalof LeoXIIIdeclaringthatAnglicanOrderswerenotvalid. ThethirdwashisacquaintanceatCambridgewithtwo formerAnglicanclergymen whohadfacedthesamedifficulties,andwhohadsolved thembybecomingCatholic priests.TheywereMonsignorRobertHughBenson, sonofanArchbishopof Canterbury,whowasastirringpreacherandacapable novelist,andMonsignor ArthurBarnes,anauthority ontheearlyChurch,whose studiesoftheoriginaldocumentsofthetimeoftheReformationinEnglandconvincedhimthattheAnglican ChurchhadlosttheApostolicsuccession.

MoscowRepudiates ClaimsofAnglicans

ThejourneytoRussia, then,wastobethetest.It theleadersoftheOrthodox Churchthereacceptedhim. inAnglican,asareligious equalandadmittedhimto Communion,hewouldacceptitascorroborationof the"branch"theory.He foundtohisdismay,however,thattheOrthodoxprelateshadquitedifferent ideas.Theywouldnotadmit himtoCommunion.They lookedupontheAnglican ChurchasapartoftheLatin Churchthathadbroken away,andthatmust,there-

fore,seekreunionwith Rome,ifChristianitywereto bereunited.

ThepilgrimagetoMoscow hadsettledthequestion. WhenhereturnedtoEnglandShaneLesliemadea studyofCatholicteachings. Besideshisstudies,hesought outthesupernatural,and wasdeeplymovedbyvisits toCarthusianmonasteries, wherehecouldfeelthepresenceofGod.In1908hewas receivedintotheChurch andhasdonemagnificent workinwritingandlecturing.Hesucceededtohis father'stitlein1944andbecameSirShaneLeslie.
