Episcopalians Postpone Merger With Presbyterians Three Years
The Protestant Episcopal Church, at the 11th triennial General Convention, approved liberalizing remarriage rules for divorced members and postponed for at least three years a proposed merger with the Presbyterian Church in the United States. The House of Bishops, in a unanimous vote, backed a plan allowing remarriage at the diocesan bishop's or ecclesiastical court's discretion, removing national advisory bodies and giving each diocese full authority. Summary continues to note that marriage remains a union created by mutual consent, with current law allowing remarriage only for the innocent party in a divorce.
