Adoption of New Matrimonial Canon Major Work of Episcopal Convention
Denver, Sept. 30. The fiftieth triennial convention of the Protestant Episcopal church adopted a new matrimonial canon as a major achievement. The liberal measure allows divorced and remarried individuals to hold church communion status and be admitted to baptisms and confirmations with ecclesiastical approval. Premarital instruction is required and bishops may void civilly dissolved marriages. Annulment rules hinge on nine preexisting impediments, with adultery cited as a dissolution basis. Prohibition and unemployment issues were not decisively acted upon.
