Excerpt from Truth Versus Edification Convocation in 1863 came to a decision of some importance, as far as importance can be said to attach to any decision of that anomalous and self-surviving body. The Lower House suggested and strongly urged the appointment of a Committee 'to report on' Dr Colenso's book, and the Upper House, in a crowded assembly of five members presided over by the Primate, in an evil hour conceded the request. Three circumstances, however, gave a peculiar significance to this resolution. The Bishop of Oxford was opportunely absent, being opportunely ill. The resolution was adopted by a majority of one, - three Bishops voting in its favour, and two against it. And the three 'ayes' were the Bishops of Lincoln, St Asaph, and Llandaff, , while the two 'noes' were the Bishops of London and St David's.
