NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER ON 3.9.42. PROPOSAL TO HOLD: Memo. by Lord President of the Council covering letter dated 17.7.42 from the Archbishop of Canterbury.

17 Jul 1942

ANNEX LETTER DATED 17TH JULY FROM THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY TO THE LORD PRESENT OF THE COUNCIL. I have spoken to leading Free Churchmen, who are eager that a week-day may be appointed. I have consulted the Bishops of the Provinces of Canterbury, York and Wales, all of whom were quite ready for the arrangement and some of whom strongly supported it. I have also, with some difficulty, established contact with Cardinal Hinsley, who now mainly lives out of London, and who at first was inclined to prefer keeping to the Sunday; but on hearing the grounds of the proposal, changed over to agreement that a week-day might be appointed.
