Why They Withdredre. Diocesan Color Policy Debate
A Charleston dispatch reports a committee of clerical and lay delegates who withdrew from the Duntlaston diocesan Episcopal convention last May issue a sixty page pamphlet. They argue admission of colored clergymen to church councils was not contemplated, labeling such a move unconstitutional and hazardous, and they claim the laity must decide whether to change the clergy list. The note stresses the dissidents represented major church support and funds, while the main church remains wary of race-based council inclusion.
