Presbyterians Settle Two Important Problems
The 69th general assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States settled two major issues, the church's stance on divorce and a ministers annuity fund. It kept its position on divorce, recognizing infidelity and prolonged separation as grounds for divorce, while a proposal to recognize infidelity alone failed.
