Extract

On 3 May 1939 Dr Francis Carolus Eeles, General Secretary of the Central Council of Churches, wrote to Dr John Victor Macmillan, second Bishop of the new diocese of Guildford. He began by praising the Guildford Advisory Committee, ‘one of the best in the country; its businesslike methods and its thoroughness leave nothing to be desired.’ It was not one of the six on which Eeles himself served. He went on to speak about Guildford St Nicolas’.
