Excerpt from Report of the First Anglo-Catholic Congress, London, 1920
The papers are the outcome of a common faith. They express what the writers believe to be the truth which God has revealed and has made to be the indestructible heritage of the Catholic Church. As Catholics the writers have desired to be a mouthpiece through which may be declared what they have learnt from the Church, their Mother. In consequence the papers represent a great agreement in belief and aim. It does not follow that on every detail not part of the faith, the writers think or have spoken exactly alike. Possibly in every paper there may be some sentence which some other reader would have wished different.1 So far as this is the case, it may serve to illustrate the fact that there are many questions round about the faith concerning which there is not the same obligation as in regard to the faith itself.
By one of those happy unanticipated thoughts which in a right religious atmosphere come to men's minds, the Congress became the occasion of a great collection of money, amounting to many thousand pounds, for the missionary work of the Church. In this fact may be seen the outward token of the deepest purpose of those by whom the Congress was arranged.
