FRANK MIDDLETOWN, Dec. 16, 1775 The Rev. Philip Reading, rector of St. Anne's Church in this vicinity, is becoming increasingly apprehensive about his future here. Reading, an English-born Anglican priest, is not by any means devoted to the patriotic cause for national independence.

He is now being seriously regarded by the patriots as an enemy to the Congress and the united colonies in America. Actually, there is no evidence Reading is a dangerous traitor. His major fault, if indeed it can be called a fault, is that he clings to his faith in the Anglican Church and his vows of loyalty to the English throne. There are those in this vicinity who predict that sooner or later, Reading will have to close his church and leave this area, although he has been here for almost 30 years. It is no secret Reading has been outstanding in his defense of England's rights and prerogatives.

It is known, for example, he has written to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts: "The (Anglican) Church here continues in as good a state as can be expected in these times of danger. Many are the rebuffs I am obliged to encounter on the subject of the present commotions, notwithstanding which I am not deterred or discouraged from inculcating the principles of loyalty to our most gracious sovereign (King George III) and a due submission to the powers of government on all proper occasions." This letter was written some months ago before the intensity of this revolutionary war against England increased. Reading still has hopes that somehow "a speedy and perma- Friends and Romans for the king who is mentioned specifically by name. The oath of allegiance these Anglican priests take at the time of their ordination, we are told, and their reluctance to make alterations in the liturgy are forcing the Anglican clergy into very awkward positions. As of this point in time, there are only five Anglican clergymen in the three counties of the Dela ware.

Except for Reading, they are all American born. The Rev. Aeneas Ross of Immanuel Church in New Castle seems to be able to live with himself and his conscience in relationship with the patriots who abound in New Castle, the capital of this colony. Ross is considered a patriot. His brother, George, is a Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress.

Another brother, John Ross, is married to a seamstress, Betsy, in Philadelphia. John is definitely known to be a militant patriot. How then does the Rev. Aeneas Ross get around praying for the king? One report is he either garbles the liturgy in reference to the welfare of the king or he is known to have, on occasion, an itinerant Methodist preacher offer the so-called state prayers. 1975 editor's note: After the Revolutionary War, with the establishment of the United States of America, the Anglican Church or Church of England became the Episcopal Church in the United States.

But as this year of 1775 comes to a close, the possibilities of reconciliation continue to be remote, despite the efforts of such conservatives in the Congress as John Dickinson of Dover, toward avoiding continued fighting and bloodshed. About a month or so ago, Read- 1. ing joined with two other Anglican priests in this colony on the Delaware, the Rev. Samuel Tingley and the Rev. Samuel Magaw, in a joint letter to the bishop of London, expressing their deep concern about the increasing difficulties they are having here.

Another Anglican priest in this colony who is having trouble is the Rev. Sydenham Thome in Kent County. Thome has been brought before the.Kent County Committee of Correspondence several times to answer charges of disloyalty to the American cause. However, he has thus far managed to pull himself out with no more difficulty than a little personal abuse, according to reports. The core of the problem of these Anglican priests comes down to this: The services of morning and evening prayer, the litany and the holy communion all have prayers 1A 16 A HIGHLY you weather: chance of rain; colder Tuesday, Dec.
