DEBATE On
DIVORCE
Biennial concIaye Seeks TO
Establish ''Remarrlages
Code FOR Pastors
BY HAZEL MacDONALD.
International Nerza Rarrlsa

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-The aee old
question Of divorce and re.marriage
came IN for discussion at today,s
session Of the Biennial convention
Of the United Lutheran Church in
America, here bringing forth an
appeal for specific ruling from
the church for the guidance ~ it,
clergymen asked to officIate at
ceremonies where one or both Of
the contracting parties have been
divorced.
The present church code holdsI
that "a Lutheran clergyman. NAV
remarry the innocent party TO 4
divorces granted on the one ground
recognized by the new testament
that Of infideIity.s
But the assembled clergymen
feel that determining which Is the
innocent party from the maze OF
conflicting evidence offered in
present day diAorce cases e too
difficult q task and that the t'let
your conscience be your guide"
policy should be supplanted BY an
arbitrary ruling OF which there
could pc no mislnterpretatief.
The responsibility Of determin.
ing which Is the innocent party Is
too great for the individual clergy
man to assume" Doctor George
w. Nicely, Of Hanover, Pa, presi.
dent Of the West Pennsylvania
Synod, where the agitation for q
new ruling originated, said today.
Action Not Uniform.
Besides. as Doctor George Albert
Getty. another member Of the West
Pennsylvania Synod pointed out,
while the present rule by intima-
ton condemns, It does, not de-
finiteIy forbid q Lutheran clergy
man from performing a marriage
ceremony for persons who have
been divorced. So some OF them
viii and some Of them won't.
There Is no uniformity Of action.
Il q divorced person can't get
married In his own parish, the
chances are that the pastor Of the
next parish will accommodate him
and that the person so accorino-
dated will transfer his membership
to the parish Of the more obIiging
pastor.
The aim Of the West Pennsyl-
vania Synod, in the matter was
set forth by Reverend G.. e.
Bowersox. Shrewsbury, Pa. It
contemplates:
First: a national Law. making
Il necessary to state on the
divorce decree the grounds on
which the divorce was obtained
and,
Second: A church ruling setting
forth under exactly what condi-
tons re-marTiage may be per.
formed by = lutheran clergyman.
