Bishop S. C. Edsall, of the Episcopal
diocese of Minnesota, in discussing the
recent pastoral letter of Bishop Morrison.
of Iowa, on the marriage of divorced.
persons, goes even further than the Iowa
prelate. Bishop Edsall would even pre-
vent any divorced persons on from IN marrying
day, Bishop Edsall said:
Il understand that Bishop Morrison
says that in licensing any of his clergy
to solemnize the marriage of a person
having divorced wife living, and who
asks to be married by an Episcopal cler-
gyman on the ground of being the inno-
cent party in a divorce for adultery he
will not go behind the decree of the civil
court which granted the divorce. This is
precisely my own position. Two years
ago in North Dakota [ issued a pastoral
letter announcing this position, and l pro-
pose to adhere to the same ruling In Min
nesota. Occasionally it may seem to work
hardship, where some innocent party
has been divorced from the other because
of the latter's adultery, but for the sake
of avoiding scandal, preserving the good
name of the children, or other similar rea-
son has failed to allege or prove adultery,
or to have it entered in the decree. One
may Sympathize with such generous
motives, but if a person wishes to pre-
serve the right of being remarrled ne or
decree of the civil court the fact of the
adultery of the other party. The neces-
sity for this ruling seems to me to be
plain A bishop has no power of summon
witnesses. Consequently any invest1ga-
ton and decision of his, not based upon
decree of civil court, must be eX parte.
He may be virtually deciding that the
absent party, who has no opportunity OF
defense, has been guilty of adultery. AT
all events, that is the clear implication.
to the preservation of American home
life, and so far as 1 am personally con-
cerned 1 should be glad to see our pres
ent canon changed by making it imposs1-
BILE for any. of our clergy to perform the
marriage of any person who had d.
vorced husband or wife still living, no
matter what the cause of the divorce.
