CHURCH Will
TAKE ACTION
ON DIVORCES
Heated Controversy
Arises On Laws
Of Marriage

DENVER. Colo. Sept. 25-tF,-
Church liberals and conservatives
assembled forces today for a final
contest over marriage and divorce
laws OF the Protestant Episcopal
church.
So heated was the controversy,
particularly In regard to the re-
marriage OF divorced persons. that
1t overshadowed the scheduled elec-
ton today Of a presiding bishop Of
the church.
Proposal Defeated
The Rt. Rev. James De Wolf
Perry Of Rhode Island. presiding
bishop, will be opposed by Bishop
James II. Freeman, washington, ID.
c., and Bishop Edward L. Parsons
OF California in today's balloting
at a secret session Of the house Of
bishops.
The element seeking liberaliza-
ton OF the church marriage laws.
headed by Prof. Joseph Beale Of
Harvard, was defeated on a pro-
posal which WOULD have allowed
ministers OF the church to remarry
persons divorced for any cause. The
remarriage, under the provision,
would have been allowed, after the
case had been reviewed and passed
upon favorably by an ecclesiastical
court.
Unexpected strength vas man
ifest by the liberal element. how
ever. when the house of deputies
adopted an amendment to the pro-
posed canon which would not only
allow divorced persons who have
remarked outside the church to
retain their communicate status,
but under certain conditions the
church would also bless the parties
to the union"
Ministers OF the church under
this provision, however. would not
be allowed to remarry divorced per-
sons. The existing canon provides
that the only divorced persons who
may be married by a minister Is
the innocent party to a divorce
granted for adultery.
Pre- Marriage Instruction
The house OF deputies has con-
sidered the proposed matrimonial
canon by sections. approving es-
tablishment Of ar ecclesiastical
court In each diocese and provid-
ing for pre-marriage instruction.
Consideration OF the entire pro-
posed canon today was expected 10
bring a renewal OF the verbal Tits
which marked yesterdays session
of the house of deputies. If the
proposed canon Is adopted by the
church. its enemies declared. head
quarters & the divorce mill may
as well be moved from Reno TO 25l
Fourth Avenue, New York. head
quarters OF the church.
