- "A contribution to the Anglican-United Church Dialogue by the Bishop of Huron".
- Introduction dated "Whitsunday, 1967".
- "I have written many pages on many subjects but not task have I found more difficult than this one, attempting to explain Bishops to our United Church neighbours. The job came to me unsought in a request from our Primate, Archbishop H.H. Clark. A Pacific Coast Presbytery had posed some questions and asked for some answers. Our Primate turned to two of us, and I proved to be the only one available at the time. I hasten to say that my answers are personal and unofficial, and my brother-bishops are in no way responsible for them. It is true that I read an early draft of the booklet to them at our autumn meeting in 1966, and they seemed to think that the answers had some merit and might even be worth some circulation. Incidentally they helped me with quite a few suggestions and clarifications. Yet still I alone am responsible for the opinions expressed". -- Intro., p. 3.
