Presbyterians Move to Restrict Divorce to One Ground
A Presbyterian subcommittee recommends amending the confession of faith to make adultery the sole ground for divorce and to permit remarriage only to the innocent party in adultery cases. The proposal, supported by a general assembly subcommittee, seeks to curb desertion and conspiracy-based divorces and will be acted on at the May or June assembly, with lingering debates on remarriage and church discipline.
