In 1923 he became a member (from 1925, Chairman) of the Commission which in 1938 produced the report on Doctrine in the Church of England. As Abp. of York he became prominent in national life, especially through his concern with social, economic, and international questions. He presided over the Malvern Conference in 1941. He also supported the Faith and Order and Life and Work Movements. His time at Canterbury was overshadowed by the 1939–45 War; he joined with Card. A.
