 In Hastings 's view , Lang was probably more sympathetic to Rome than any other Church of England archbishop of modern times , responsible for a discreet <unk> of the Church of England 's practices . A small outward indication of this was his decision to use a cassock as everyday dress and to wear a mitre on formal occasions , the first archbishop since the English Reformation to do so . However , Lang believed that in relation to the supreme truths of the church , rituals and dress were of small account , but that if people 's worship was assisted by such customs they should be allowed .
