doctrine, but the cold lifeless manner in which her doctrines were, by the Services, presented to them."9 The desire for reform by some members of the congregation at St. Paul's Church went unheeded by the rector. Members of the Building Committee appear to have taken matters into their own hands. The matter came to public attention as outward visible differences in appearance of the church structure began to be noticed as construction advanced. The differences in building design originated with the planned liturgical reforms of the ' Movement '. One of the immediate points of conflict within the parish congregation was over the raised platform on which the altar stood. Hodgson explained to the Reverend Mr. Fitzgerald that these types of changes were essential changes in the eyes and hearts of the members of the Building Committee. He emphasized that: no words of ours could tell you the relative position in which we hold the Holy Table and the Platform and the systems they severally represent - the course pursued with regard to St. Peter 's is an example of what I mean - granted that its erection was uncalled for, that it is a most injudicious expenditure of money, even go so far that it may be most disastrous to the unity of the parish, of course I do not believe for one moment that this is the case but it shows that there is among us a determination which counts no sacrifice too great, no sum too large to be expended to carry a work forward which is conscientiously believed is for God's Glory in way of his Church.10 A small number of individuals threw strong support behind the effort to raise the money needed to complete the new St. Peter 's Church. It was their sincere hope that a change in the type of services offered there, and the fact that there would be no 'Pew Rent' system, would do much to reach out into the community and to attract those who were alienated or disinterested by what was going on at St. Paul's. The Vestry and Churchwardens at the Parish Church recognized that the movement which was pushing for a new church naturally sought an erosion of the tight control over the project being attempted by the rector. They viewed this as a personal challenge to their rector and threw their full support behind their rector. They took quick steps to curb the enthusiasm of the small group and to regain control over direction of the mode of worship being planned for St. Peter 's.
