...amalgamation of many parishes which are at present thinly populated. Some congregations might be transported by bus to and from distant churches. Some curates might be obliged to scurry here & there by motorcycle in order to care for their several flocks. And it is not inconceivable that radio-hook-ups will be instituted to provide clergy-less congregations with their services.
