Bishop Stevens Condemns Auricular Confession in Address

—Bishop Stevens devoted the larger part of his annual address before the Pennsylvania Protestant Episcopal Convention last week to the subject of auricular confession, impelled to it by the persistent efforts to introduce it into churches of that diocese. “From the depths of a heart laden with sorrow at the outcroppings in our midst of this unscriptural teaching,” he emphatically condemned it on individual, social, political, and theological grounds.—Christian Weekly, May 22, 1880.
