Move to Ordain Women Defeated at Methodist Assembly
In the 22nd quadrennial assembly of the Methodist Episcopal Church South held May 8, the proposal to ordain women in the ministry was defeated 130 to 197. A motion to adopt a minority report opposing rights for women candidates failed. Bishop Warren A. Candler presided. Bishop FE D Mouton succeeds him as senior bishop. The temperance and social service committee condemned mob violence including lynching and urged faster justice, noting lynching stems from race prejudice but is not confined to any one group. The church also rejected suggestions to trim annual and general conference membership by about one fifth.
