would lose interest in church af-

Man Offers Complaint.
One male delegate complained
that man couldn't argue factu-
ally with a woman.

woman's Judgment" he said,
'you disagree with a woman, not
with a judgment"
On the other nand, women
have been admitted to a num-
ber Of Episcopal church vestries
and some dioceses have voted in
favor of allowing them full
membership on official church
bodies.
Later this month, the "A re-
gional groups of the Reformed
Church in America will begin
voting on a proposal to repeal
the rule that only male members
can hold congregational Office.
So far, the acceptance rate by
churches has been slow. AS of
1851, only 3,763 of the country's
281 600 ordained ministers were
women.
Some denominations permit
women to serve as pastors but
without full clergy status.
Among churches having woman
pastors. though not all ordained,
are Congregational, Methodist,
Evangelical and Reformed. Uni
versalist and Church of the
Brethren.
In 1851, a Reformed Jewish
congregation in Meridian, Miss,
chose a woman as it's spiritual
leader, setting a precedent
among Jews.

Champions Of equal rights for
women in the churches are grid
ing for another round in the
continuing battle to give the
ladies a bigger voice in church
affairs.
The most recent developments
In the perennial issue occurred
in the ranks of the PreSbyter-
ians. The Rochester. N. Y. Pres
bytery voted to petition the Cen
eral Assembly of the Presbyter-
ian Church to allow the ordina-
ton of women as ministers.
The group also decided to send
letters to the Church'S 800 other
presbyteries in the United States
urging support of the move.
At Buck Hill Falls, Pa, DR..
Hugh Thompson Kerr, jr., pro-
fessor at Princeton Theological
Seminary, made a strong plea
for the women's cause at the an
nual meeting of the Western
Section of the World Alliance,
of Presbyterian and Reformed
Churches.
But he warned that the ques-
ton of women's place in the
church should not be allowed to
"bog down" over the controver-
sial ordination problem.
Equality of States Urged.
DR.. Kerr called for equality of
status and opportunity for wom-
en-. He added that, in it's recog-
milton of women the Christian
Church Jagged far behind gov
ernment, education, social work,
industry and the medical and
legal professions.
While the discussion continues,
women are increasing their inf1u-
ence In church affairs by con-
stantly widening the scope of
their activities.
/ In Oregon, so representatives
! Of the Portland Council of
Church Women met with State
officials and attended sessions of
the Legislature. They indorsed
bills on civil rights, an interme-
diate penal institution, a full
time liquor commission and the
placing of pari-mutuel receipts
in the general fund.
Other Councils of Church
Women have been active in the
legislative field. The Reno New
Council has drawn up a complete
program of social action which it
recommended to candidates for
State and local Offices. They
took a stand on such issues as
the McCarran immigration law,
Nevada'S miscegenation act, sep
aration of church and tax-sup-
ported schools and Senate ratif1-
cation of the U. N. genocide con-
Vention.
Guidance Proposed.
In New York, a step toward
providing guidance for young
women who want to enter a
Christian vocation was taken by
Union Theological Seminary.
Women students from "a East
.ern Colleges and universities at
tended a conference which feat
ured addresses and discussions
on jobs for women in mission
work, the YWCA, editorial and
student work, sacred music and
religious education.
But although more fields of
church work have been pene-
trated by women in recent years.
some denominations are not yet
ready to install them in positions
Of authority.
At the last Episcopal General
Convention, the church's House
OF Deputies voted for the third
time against giving women the
right to vote on church legis-
lation. It was the lay delegates,
not the bishops, who ruled the
ladies out.
Opponents argued that only
the career type of woman
wanted female delegates to have
voting rights. Fear also was ex-
pressed that women might take
