Excerpt from Charge Delivered by Edwin Palmer, D.D., Archdeacon of Oxford, at His Visitation in May, 1882
Clerical Associations, which are purely voluntary in their nature, and have no representative cha racter. Our Conference would be a Conference of Clergy and Laity; it would deserve to be called representative, because it would contain (so far as they chose to come to it) all the Clergy and all the Churchwardens of each parish in the district. But, however representative such a Conference might be, it would be Open, as I said just now, to the objection that it would begin and end in talk; and of talk, it may be, we have more than enough already.
