Excerpt from The Limits of Lay Responsibility and Privilege in the Councils of the Church: A Speech Delivered (in Substance) At the Synod of the United Dioceses of Moray, Ross, and Caithness, Held in the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew, Inverness, May 4, 1870

This is the resolution which I submit that we should adopt. You will observe that, with one exception, viz., that of veto, whereby, if a constitution were adopted for our Synods in other respects similar to those at present existing in the American and Colonial Churches, the lay portion of the Synod would have the power of hindering the bishops and clergy from the full exercise of the powers entrusted to them, the laity are admitted by the terms of the resolution to powers equal to those of the episcopal and clerical orders.
