CONFERENCE SOUGHT ON
MERGER OF DIOCESES
Bishop Murray, President of Prov
ince of Washington, Asked to
Call Meeting of Standing
Committees.

In view Of the fact that there has been
great deal of II formal discussion con-
cernlng the ST question that the Protestant
Episcopal Dioceses Of Delaware and
EastOn, Md, unite 10 one diocese, a
definite move has been officially made,
with view of settling the matter through
the proper church authorities.
The Standing Committee of the DiO-
eese OF Delaware has asked Bishop Muir
ray of the diocese OF Maryland. who is
president OF the Proyin ce of Washington.
to request the Standing Committee and
the Chancellor of the Diocese Of EastOn
to meet the Delaware committee and
Chancellor for q discussion on the matter
OF merger Bishop Murray has communal
Gated with the Diocese of Eastor Starding
Committee, and reply from the latter
If expected in few days The bishop has
informed the Standing Committee Of
Delaware that he has done this
No conference, Of course, has vet been
arranged for, therefore, there is no fixed
time for il to be held, if there is TO be one.
BlshopMurray as president Of the Province
of Washington, is presiding bishop for
all of the dioceses in the States Of Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland, Virginia West Vir-
ginia and Delaware.
In order 10 be completely effective it
would seem as if the conference. if one is
to be held. ought to be called for an early
date. in view of the fact that the Diocese
of Easton viii hold a special convention
on April 20 to elect bishop. to fill the
vacancy caused by the death Of Bishop
Adams, and the Diocese of Delaware viii
hold its regular convention ON May IL. at
Emmanuel Church. 6ere, when according
to present plan, a bishop viii also be
elected, provided merger is not in process
of conSummation prior to that time
When inquiry was made today Of Rev
+. M krkus, ID. D., chairman Of the
Standing Committee. he stated that the
action was taken at the last meeting of the
local committee on bis motion. Because
there has been SO much gossip and dis
cuss4on Of the merger subject, the com
mittee agreed with him that the only way
to crystalize the matter would be to get
it formally before the constituted author
tiles OF the two dioceses. Their action in
the matter viii doubtless be final
DIR. Kirkus said that while the project
has its friends, who advocate many
reasons for merger, there is also oppose
ton, backed by apparently equally strong
reasons. Therefore, nobody is IN position
to say what the outcome viii be.
