Abstract
Our present century has seen an increasing opposition to creeds and doctrinal statements of faith. Perhaps the most significant was that of Dr W. R. Matthews, Dean of St. Paul's in his little book The Thirty-Nine Articles (1961). There he summarised his arguments for setting aside the Articles, which he had previously put forward in the columns of The Times, and which had led to much correspondence. Many feared such a proposal could lead to the disruption and disestablishment of the Church of England, and thought it better to let sleeping Articles lie. In America an attempt at a compromise was reached by the publication in 1965 of a booklet containing creeds and confessions of historic worth together with a new confession of faith.
