Laying out the issues which the Bishop had to consider along with the historic background and identifying the parts of relevant Canon Law, the Bishop invites Fr Baker to resign as Parish Priest in Downham Market
Grant, Charles Alexander Rev LCL BA (1906-1989)Precis: A call to a synod of all clergy over whom the Bishop has direction/control to come to the church in Northampton on 1st July 1920 at 8am so that afterwards they may prepare. He commands that from the 3rd Sunday of Pentecost until the synod, that the Commemoration of the Holy Spirit be recited in all Masses in a manner of rejoicing.
[Unfortunately the rational for this meeting / synod is not given in the letter. It is thought that the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in June, which denotes the official ending of the First World War, may be the reason for this gathering]
Keating, William Frederick Rev (1859-1928)"Re 'How the EDP won the right to name cathedral fraudster' (EDP, October 26). It's hard to believe that nobody in authority at St John the Baptist Cathedral has apparently been called to account for the lack of supervision in the case of Rene Mugenzi who stole £220,000 whilst volunteering to be its treasurer." Letter continues.
