Professor J. Estlin Carpenter spoke last night before the Religious Union on liberal thought in English theology.

He showed the effect of liberal thought upon the two great divisions of English Theologists; the Anglican Church, and the Non-Conformists. He said that the liberal movement had tended toward a federation of these two great bodies, and that it might in time bring about the disestablishment of the Anglican Church, as it had already done with the Irish Church, and proposed to do with the established Church of Wales. The movement had extended in two directions, he said, towards criticism of dogmas, and criticism of Scripture. One great thing which the new line of thought accomplished was to show to England the value of historical research into the accuracy of the Bible. The view that the Scripture was the word of God, minutely accurate, had vanished from liberal theology. The churches of England were beginning to recognize that though they could not unite upon any common theological ground, they had, however, a strong bond of union and sympathy in the great moral and ethical principles of Christianity.
