The Daily Telegraph of Friday contains a very interesting article
on Convocation and the Athanasian Creed, in which we are told that the Committee of the Lower House of Convocation of Canterbury has reported on the use of the Athanasian Creed, and that the Report was discussed on Wednesday and Thursday. The decision arrived at by the Lower House is a compromise, but one which, we cannot help thinking, ought to give general satisfaction. It is proposed that the Athanasian Creed should be retained in the Prayer. book, but without the existing rubric which imperatively ordains its use on certain occasions. A minister may thus use or not use the Creed as he chooses. Further, "it is proposed that provision shall be made for the liturgical use of a form of the Quicungue Vult without the warning clauses, and that it be referred to the Committee to say how this may best be done."
