Fr Baker's ministry is harmful being direct and open disobedience of the Holy See. A review of the documents sent by Fr Baker were considered by the Synodal Examiner and the Pro-Synodal Examiner as not a sufficient answer and his ministry was harmful. Fr Baker had refused to resign and hence the Bishop is removing him from his office as Parish Priest at Downham Market. He has to hand over to Father Sketch.

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]
