Presbyterian Assembly Shelves Birth Control Debate
In Pittsburgh on May 28 the Presbyterian Assembly freed itself from endorsing or opposing birth control as church policy. The special committee removed the birth control section due to protests, clearing the path to elect a new moderator, Rev. Dr. Lewis Seymour Mudge of Philadelphia. Repercussions linger from related council reports, with overtures seeking repudiation or withdrawal of support. The assembly faces further action on union with other churches and on expanding women's membership.
