SEEK TO AMEND
DIVINE CANONS
Divergent Views Confront E pis-
copalians on Marital
Restrictions
BIG DEBATE is IMPENDING

speoidl Dispatch to Evening Public Ledger
Detroit, Mich, Oct. IA. - Marriage
and divorce problems will cause one of
the biggest debates of the forticth tri-
ennial general convention of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church.
Already there are so many diverse
opinions on the attitude the Church
must take on these questions that two
amendments to the canon on marriage
are before the convention, and deputies
and bishops are already issuing pam
pllets and voicing their views in the re-
cess periods of the convention sessions.
Pennsylvanians attending the convcn-
ton are showing varying attitudes. The
bishop of Harrisburg, James II. Oar
lington, has issued n pamphlet in which
he gives about 5000 words of objection
to the proposed new divorce regulation
before the convention, which would pro-
hibit Episcopal clergy from remarrying
any person who had been divorced.
Wrong to the Innocent
In this pamphlet he pleads against
the change because of injustice to the
innocent party in divorce case, main e.
tains that such strict Interpretation is
not scriptural and that the Church
would do more to purify the marriage
relation by preaching on the seventh
commandment than by harshness.
An exactly opposite view is held by
the Rev DR.. Floyd w. Tomkins, OF
Holy Trinity. Philadelphia, who is
fighting for the strictest possible re-
striction the remarriage of any divorced
person.
'I have been fighting for years for q
rigid canon which will prevent the mar
riage of any divorced person" he said
today. 81 believe that every married
couple should be made to hold to the
contract. 1t is my belief that no clergy
man should be allowed to remarry any
person who has been divorce" 40 mat.
ter whether he or she be Known as ar
innocent party or not.
"But l am afraid my views differ
from those of my party he added
with laugh. When asked TO explain
what he meant by that, he smiled again
81 would go further he added, 81
believe the church should insist on the
publishing of the bans before marriage
ms it done in England. 1t would have
a great effect in reducing the number
of thoughtless and careless marriages
and thus aid in reducing divorces.
The divorce problem comes before the
convention later in the week through
two proposed amendments to the can
