Rector says united states no longer a Christian nation
The Rev Dr Caleb R Stetson of Trinity Church argues the United States is not a Christian country and Christians should not force standards on non Christians. He urges separating church and state in marriage and notes rising divorce as evidence of degraded marriage. He criticizes intolerance amid Prohibition and urges civil marriages for non Christians. He cites a jazz wedding as example of moral decline. The stance reflects a broader call to limit church marriage rites to church members only.
