PAUL RECEIVES ANGLICAN REPRESENTATIVE

Dr. John Findlow, recently appointed as the Church of England's permanent representative at the Vatican, was received in private audience by Pope Paul VI March 22.

Dr. Findlow, who succeeded Canon Bernard C. Pawley in the post as liaison between the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity and the Anglican Council on Inter-Church Relations, was accompanied at the audience by Msgr. Gianfrancesco Arrighi, under- secretary of the Vatican Secretariat's section concerned with Anglican and Protestant Church relations.

Dr. Findlow served as chaplain to the British Embassy in Rome from 1949 to 1956, and was for many years rector of All Saints Anglican Church there.

He was named to his new post last September by Dr. Arthur Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury. His predecessor, Canon Pawley attended the first two sessions of the Second Vatican Council as a "guest" of the Christian Unity secretariat headed by Augustin Cardinal Bea and accompanied former Presiding Bishop Lichtenberger on his historic visit with Pope John XXIII in 1961.

Canon Pawley has just completed a seven-week tour of the Episcopal dioceses in Latin America, under the sponsorship of the Rt. Rev. Stephen Bayne, Jr., Director of the Overseas Department to extend and deepen relationships with the Roman Catholic Church there.
