- Notes
- "The Commission was appointed by His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury in December, 1945, with the following Terms of Reference: 'To consider the practice of artificial human insemination with special reference to its theological, moral, social, psychological, and legal implications, and to report to the Archbishop'." -- p. 5.
- Commission chaired by the Right Rev. and Rt. Hon. J.W.C. Wand, Lord Bishop of London.
- Includes bibliographical references and bibliography, p. 68-70.
- "In the end, however, the judgement we reach on the subject of A.I.D. will be shaped and determined by our view of the nature of marriage. If, with the Church, we hold it to be that exclusive contract and union 'for better for worse', the total commitment till death of each spouse to the other, then the part of the unknown donor must seem an unlawful intrusion, and the part of the wife -- however innocent she may be of evil intent or motive -- a breach of her marriage vows. We are not remotely concerned to judge individuals .... we have found it impossible to reconcile with the practice of A.I.D. the doctrine of marriage which we have learned from the Church. We are sure that, no less than ourselves, those who commend that practice desire to see and to safeguard happy, successful marriages. We differ from them in our view of what marriage is: and the difference is fundamental". -- pp. 56-57.

- "Edited by Dr. Percy Dearmer, Canon of Westminster".
- "The issue, indeed, is simple. The motives and methods of human life are not sufficiently moralised: it was to moralise the machinery of production, to limit the power of selfishness, that Wilberforce and Shaftesbury were working a century ago; and the whole world now enjoys what Christians then won: but in many ways industry and business, and family life, and civic and political activity, need further moralisation. Money -- the necessary use of tokens of exchange -- has been overlooked in its moral aspect (in spite of what Christ said about it) .... And, alas, there was one aspect of human life which was not understood a hundred years ago; and to this our present miseries are mainly due. The very word 'international' had then only just been coined by Jeremy Bentham. The whole conception of moralising international relations was in its infancy. So the world went on to its doom. So, because the nations and their representatives have not yet learnt the elements of international behaviour, we stand at this moment of writing on the brink of irretrievable disaster. It is in a very real sense true that only Christ can save the world from ruin to-day. Are we prepared to let his spirit save the nations from themselves ?" -- Preface, p. 10-11.

- "By W.R. Matthews".
- "Recently I have ventured to express in public my strong conviction that one of the most urgent needs of the Church of England is a reconsideration and, if possible, a revision of the Thirty-Nine Articles -- or, what would probably in the end be easier and more useful, the substitution for them of a new statement of the Christian faith as understood by our Church. .... I welcome this opportunity of explaining and defending my position to an audience in this home of Anglican theological learning". -- Prefatory.
