TO DISCUSS MERGER
OF TWO DIOCESES

Bishop Murray, OF the Protestant Epis-
copal Diocese Of Maryland. who Is presi-
dent or the province Of Washington at
the request of the standing committee
OF the diocese of Delaware has asked
the standing committee Of the diocese
OF EasteOn. to hold a meeting to consider
merging the two dioceses Of Delaware
and EastOn. An answer is expeeted
from Easton within a few days.
II such a conference is agreed upon. Il
VIII be held before April 20. when a spe-
cial diocesan convention has been called
IN Easton to elect bishop for that do
cese. The diocese Of Delaware will not
convene until May i2. The vacancy in
the bishoprics Of both Easton and Della
ware dioceses has made an especially
favorable opportunity for the merging
Of these two sees.
In Delaware there is considerable SEN
timent for such a merger as many
Episcopalians feel much more can be
by one great, powerful
diocese than by two small ones. which
cannot attract men Of great vision TO
become their bishops.
The Rev. F. NJ. Kirkus, who made the
notion for such a conference Of the two
standing committees, feels that there
Will be strong opposition, as well as
sentiment favorable to. a merger.
