PSYCHOLOGIST AND PRIEST

SIR,—With reference to the article in your issue of November 3oth, "Psychologist and Priest," it may be of interest to draw attention to nvo facts.

(a) The Archbishops' Commission on Training for the Ministry empha- sised the need in the Church of England of training spetialists, among them priests with a full psychological training.

(2) Under the auspices of the late Archbishop Temple, the Arch- bishops' Development Committee of the Guild of Health was formed and especially charged with co-operation between clergy and ministers and doctors. This is an interdenominational committee, and its secre- tary is Miss Deal, 124, Addiscombe Road, Croydon.

Both these facts seem relevant to the article by the Right Rev. Stephen Neill.—Yours truly, H. C. ROBINS, Dean of Salisbury, Vice-President of the Guild of Health.
