NOTTINGHAM'S Anglican and Methodist Men's Clubs joined forces at a luncheon on Tuesday to hear Bishop Ellis give a first-hand account of the work of the Vatican Council.
The Church was for this age as much as for an earlier unsophisticated world or the medieval times of scholarship and the arts, Bishop Ellis told his audience, and this meant that she might have to adopt a new approach to the presentation of old doctrine, to lay particular emphasis on certain points, to modify certain aspects of her discipline. "But it does not, and cannot, mean any change of doctrine or moral practice", he emphasized.
