from that in the case of the Church of Sweden, and because
we believe, that the time has not yet come for such
negotiations to be entered into with them as are now proceeding with
the Swedish Church. We hold therefore, that at present it is
wise to be content with aiming at closer alliance with the
last-named Church alone.»
Konferensens därpå grundade beslut igenfinnes i §§ 24—25
och lyder som följer:
»24. The Conference welcomes the Report of the
Commission appointed after the last Conference entitled, ’The Church
of England and the Church of Sweden,’ and, accepting the
conclusions there maintained on the succession of the Bishops of
the Church of Sweden and the conception of the priesthood set

Church of Sweden outside that country, they may legitimately,
within their own region, postpone any such action as is
recommended in this Resolution until they are satisfied that these
irregularities have been removed.
25. We recommend further that in the event of an
invitation being extended to an Anglican Bishop or Bishops to take
part in the consecration of a Swedish Bishop, the invitation
should, if possible, be accepted, subject to the approval of the
Metropolitan. We also recommend that, in the first instance,
as an evident token of the restoration of closer relations between
the two Churches, if possible more than one of our Bishops
should take part in the Consecration.»

kyrkan vid Uppsala Universitet, kom att hålla dessa
föreläsningar under hösten 1920, på en tid, varunder invigningen av
de nyutnämnda biskoparna i Västerås och Visby inföll. Han
blev därför såsom en skyldig gärd av brodersinne av
ärkebiskopen inbjuden att assistera vid biskopsvigningen. Nu kom
