St Michael's Church considers charter changes on women voting
A gathering at St Michael's chapel discussed proposed charter changes extending voting rights to women in corporation meetings and restricting membership to communicants in good standing. A plan to open pews to all was also discussed. The meeting favored allowing women to join the corporation but not the Vestry, and deferred final decision by indefinite postponement.
