.A MINISTER IS OPPOSED
REV. TUCKERMAN COULD NOT
ACCEPT TEACHINGS.
ACTION TAKEN AT HIS OWN REQUEST
No Way to Resign from the Priesthood
Except by Deposition
Of Bishop.

Boston, April 1t was learned last
night that Rev. GuStavuS Tuckerman
of this city and formerly of New York
and st. Louis had been formally de-
posed from the priesthood of the EpiS-
Copal church by Rt. Rev. DR.. David II.
Greer, bishop COadjutor Of New York,
with which diocese Mr., Tuckerman has
been connected. Mr. TuCkeTman's re-
lations with the Episcopal church were
several because he could no longer
acCeOt the teaching of that communion
regarding the doctrine of the Holy
Trinity and the Virgin Birth, and he
is now a minister of the Unitarian
denomination.
Sentence of deposition was pro-
nounced last Tuesday in New York
by Bishop Greer.
In todayS issue of the Living Church
the organ of the Catholic party of the
Episcopal church in the United States,
an article will appear criticising the
apparent failure of the ecclesiastical
authorities in New York and Boston to
suspend Rev. Mr.. TuCkerman from the
Episcopal body as some time ago he
left his place as rector or the church
of the Holy Faith, New York, and took
up work at the Theodore Parker Me-
mortal church in Boston.
Still on Clergy Lists.
The article states that Rev. Mr..
Tuckerman is still carried on the cler-
gy lists of the Episcopal church and
practically demands his suspension.
An investigation here Friday night
disclosed the fact that last year the
minister decided to abandon his orders
in the church and that six months ago
he SO notified Bishop Greer. Bishop
Greer suspended Rev. Mr. Tuckerman,
but having resigned six months ago,
he was compelled to take final action,
did not dispose the clergymen until
this week.
Mr. Tuckerman was deposed as a
minister of the Episcopal church at
his own request" said Bishop Greer.
There is no way for man to re-
sign from the church except by active
deposition by the bishop, and it was
at Mr.. Tuckerman's own solicitation
that | pronounced him deposed last
Tuesday. There is nothing whatever
in his moral character that can be
criticised. He simply desired to leave
the church to enter social settlement
work in Boston. He is man OF high
character and mind l simply com
piled with his desire"
