A Bishop of the Episcopal Church lately sent the following letter to a communicant, which may be of interest elsewhere:—
I have your letter of April 29, saying: "I wish to withdraw my name as a member of the Episcopal Church of this place; there being no rector here, I hardly know what steps to take to get this done. I have applied for membership to The First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, Mass., but cannot be admitted until I have a dismissal and a recommend from this church."
Before answering, let me explain.
