==Apartheid and the Archbishop==
On Ash Wednesday 1957, the day before he died, Archbishop Clayton signed, on behalf of the Bishops of the Church of the Province of South Africa, a letter to the Prime Minister of South Africa, refusing to obey and refusing to counsel the people of the Anglican Church in South Africa to obey, the provisions of section 29(c) of the Native Laws Amendment Act. The Act sought to force apartheid in all Christian congregations.
"We should ourselves be unable to obey this Law or to counsel our clergy and people to do so. We therefore appeal to you, Sir, not to put us in a position in which we have to choose between obeying our conscience and obeying the law of the land."〔〔(Review of Paton's ''Apartheid and the Archbishop'' by Edgar Brookes )〕
