Just Mutual Arrangement
Vancouver, May 29 a new chapter in the stormy 48 year history of the Doukhobors unfolds as west coast churchmen and wealthy landowners marshal forces against Vancouver Island adherents. The 180 members at Hikers 37 miles north of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island claim wives may associate with men other than husbands, prompting a heated dispute among the five Doukhobor groups in Canada. Church leaders denounce the practice as degrading and a sin against marriage while residents fear impact on property values. Dissident leader Michael Verizin contends wives are shared on a rotation basis but insists husbands and wives can choose, sparking further division within the movement.
