Finally,onNovember11, 1920,PrimeMinisterLloyd Georgeannouncedinthe HouseofCommons:"His Majesty'sGovernmenthave decided,afterfullandcarefulconsideration,thatitis desirableinthepublicinteresttocontinuethediplomaticrepresentationofBritainattheVaticanwhich hasbeeninexistencesince thefirstyearofthewarand hasbeenattendedwith beneficialresults."

SincethatdayBritain's LegationtotheHolySee hasbeenonapermanent footing,andhasbeenoccupiedbyasuccessionofdistinguishedMinisters.However,nofullfledgeddiplomaticrepresentativehasyet beennamedtoLondonby theVatican,norwasituntilNovember,1938,thatthe PopenamedhisfirstApostolicDelegatetoBritainin thepersonofArchbishop WilliamGodfrey. Onereasonforthedelay inmakingthisappointment wasthat,assomehaveinterpretedtherulesofdiplomacydrawnupatthe CongressofViennain1815, aPapalNunciomustbe deanofthediplomaticcorps inanycapitalwhereheis accredited.Itwasnot thoughtappropriatetohave aPapalNuncioasdeanof thediplomaticcorpsina Protestantcapitalsuchas London.

Thatiswhythereare ApostolicDelegatesandnot PapalNunciosintheUnitedStates,Canada,andAustraliaaswellasinBritain. Itwould,however,now becomepossibletoovercome thedifficultiesarisingfrom thediplomaticprecedence ofaNunciobyappointing anInternuncio,whohas diplomaticstatus.Theother obstacle-thataBritishsubjectshouldnothavediplomaticstatusinLondon-has disappearedwiththeappointmentofanArchbishop asApostolicDelegatewho isnotaBritishsubjectlike hispredecessor.

Secondly,whileBritain's missiontotheHolySee necessarilyhadadiplomatic character,therewerevariousreasonswhythesame charactercouldnotatfirstbe giventothemissionofthe HolySeeinLondon.There weregoodreasons,too,for choosinganEnglishman, suchasArchbishopGodfrey,asthefirstenvoyof thePope,butitwasnot thoughtproperforaBritish subjecttohavediplomatic statusinLondon.

Bothdifficultieswere overcomebytheappointmentofArchbishopGodfreynotasPapalNuncio butasApostolicDelegate.A PapalNuncioalwayshas diplomaticrank,butan ApostolicDelegatenever.

Nevertheless,thereremainedanincreasinglylarge numberofsubjectsonwhich itwasdesirablethatthe UnitedKingdomgovernmentshouldbeincommunicationwiththeVatican.Theseweretheyears, inthesecondhalfofthe lastcentury,ofthegreat expansionoftheCommonwealth.

TherewerecomplicatedrelationswiththePortuguese intheArchdioceseofBombay.Therewereproblems inFrenchCanada,as,for example,overthequestion ofthelanguagesusedand taughtinCatholicschools.

CongregationalistsHaveCompromised

MajorDoctrinesTaughtByCalvinism

Congregational.Independents,therefore,modethe"Covenant"withGodand withoneanotherratherthananyset"creed" thebasisofmembershipintheirchurches.

"Wecovenantwiththewassoonunderminedtoa Lordandwithoneanother,greatextent.In1739John anddobindourselvesintheWesleybeganhishistoric presenceofGod,towalkto-mission,preachingrepentgetherinallHisways,ac-anceandconversion,and cordingasHeispleasedtodeclaringsalvationpossible revealHimselfuntousinforallmenofgoodwill.He HisBlessedWordofTruth."utterlyrejectedCalvin's theoryofelectionandpredestination.

WhatwasGod'sblessed WordofTruth"?Itwas impossibletoescapesome efforttodefineit.The WestminsterAssemblyhad triedtodothatin1643.At thatassemblytherewere presentwiththeAnglicans andPresbyterians,fiveCongregationalministersand tenCongregationallaymen.

TheAnglicansabandoned theassemblywhenthePresbyteriansandCongregationalists,whilstagreeing withthePresbyteriansin affirmingthedoctrinal teachingsofCalvin,objectedtothedemandforgovernmentoftheChurchesby aconstitutional"Presbytery."

When,therefore,inthe CommonwealthPeriod underOliverCromwell,the Congregationalistswerein theascendancy,theymetat theSavoyPalaceinLondon,andissuedin1658a "DeclarationoftheFaith andOrderownedandpractisedintheCongregational ChurchesinEngland."

EveryProtestantbodyin EnglandwasprofoundlyinfluencedbyWesley'steachings,includingtheCongretationalists.Inhis"History ofCongregationalism"(p. 588),Dr.Dalewrites:"The oldCalvinisticphrasesand Calvinisticdefinitionswere stillonthelipsoftheIndependentswhenGeorgeIII died(1820),butinthespirit andtendencyoftheirtheologytheywereCalvinistsno longer."

Naturallythequestion soonaroseastowhatthe Congregationalistswereto hold.The"Congregational UnionofEnglandand Wales,"assoonasitwas formedin1832,feltitnecessarytoissuea"Declaration ofFaith,ChurchOrder,and Discipline."Buttheforce ofthisDeclarationwasnullifiedbythestatementthat itreally'obligednobody!

Onecanonlyconclude that,accordingtotheCongregationalists,itdoesnot matterintheleastwhatone believes,andthatCongregationalismassuchisindifferenttoobjectivetruth.

Inpracticethiscertainly seemstobethecase.In hisarticle,"Congregationalists,"inthe"Christian YearBook"for1947,John Marshwrites:"ThetheologicalbasisoftheCongregationalorIndependentpolicyistheTrinitarianconceptionofGodasFather, Son,andHolySpirit;and themajorityofCongregationalistsadhereatleastimplicitlytothatdoctrine.

Ofcourse,eveninChina's bestdaysherjailswere nothinglikethis.Butunder thecommuniststheyhave becomesomuchworsethat FatherDuchesnedeclared:

"Thestuffyholesremind youofslavegalleys.Rooms 10feetby16feetwith25 prisonerspackedintoeach, fixedhoursforsatisfying thecallsofnature,hard concretefloors,glaring lightsandblaringloudspeakerswiththeirincessantindoctrinationcourses-these areonlyfewoftheconditionsthathavegoaded hundredsofpoorChineseto suicide."

Theydidnotdreamof doubtingtheCalvinistdoctrines,uniformlyheldby PresbyteriansandCongregationalistsalike.

ButtheIndependents, havingattainedtopowerin EnglandunderOliverCromwell,nowbegantoseekadvicefromtheCongregationalistsintheColonies,askingquestionsaboutthe "NewEnglandWay"of doingthings.
