Episcopalians To
Deny Women Role
To Be Delegates

Fayetteville, May 17-(AP)-Dele-
gates to the annual convention of the
Episcopal Diocese Of Ea~tern North
Carolina voted overwhelmingly to-
day against any cange in the church
constitution relative to admitting Wo-
men as lay delegates to diocesan con-
ventiOns.
Opposition to ratification of the
proposal was led by Rev. Worth
Wicker, of Greenville. The corsen-
sUs of views brought out in floor
discussions prior to the vote was that
the cultural activities of the church,
now dominated by the women, now
required great part of their time,
and if these were performed faith
fully, little time would be left for
women to act as delegates.
