EPISCOPAL LAW
MAY Be CHANGED
Propose to Choose Presiding
Bishop by Election, Not
by Seniority

Final consideration of the proposed
amendment to the constitution of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, which
would provide for change in the
method Of choosing the Presiding
Bishop, will be accorded by the dele
gates to the General Convention which
will be held in New York City next
October. The amendment in question
would arrange for the selection Of
the Presiding Bishop by vote Of the
House Of Bishops, subject to confirma-
ton by the House of Deputies.
Hitherto the senior bishop of the
Church in the order Of conservation
has become by that fact the Presid-
ing Bishop. Hence, it has been argued,
the Presiding Bishop, by the accident
of years may be not only venerable
but also too infirm to fulfill the
duties Of the Office This matter
is regarded as one of the most inn
portant to come before the conven-
tion,
At the last convention, held in Gin
cinatti the Right Rev. Joseph Mar
shall Francis. Bishop of Indianapolis,
offered the following proposed amend
ment to the constitution:
Upon the expiration of the term of
Office of the Presiding Bishop, the
General Convention shall elect the
Presiding Bishop Of the Church. The
House of Bishops shall choose one
of the Bishops having jurisdiction
,tritl,f,, 4I,r TFnffal Ctafar IN ba such
Presiding Bishop by vote of ma
jority of all the bishops entitled &C
vote in the House of Bishops, such
choice to be subject to confirmation
by the House of Deputies. His term
and tenure of office shall be prescrib-
ed by canons of the General Conven.
ton. His salary as Presiding Bishop
shall be fixed and paid by the General
Convention.
"When, for any reason, a vacancy
in the Office shall occur, or if by rea.
son of infirmity the Presiding Bishop
shall become disabled, the House o.
Bishops shall elect one of its mum
ber to act as Presiding Bishop unit
the next meeting of the General Con
vention."
1t was reported that the Commit
tee on Amendments to the Constitu
ton were unanimously in favor Of th'
above proposed change and th'
resolution was adopted. According
to the constitution, however, nC
amendment of the constitution may b'
made unless it is confirmed by th'
next convention. Therefore thi:
amendment will be finally considered
al the coming convention.
