Obey Removed From Episcopal Matrimony Ceremony
The revised Form of Solemnization of Matrimony proposed for the 1930 general convention in Portland omits the bride's promise to obey and the bridegroom’s endowment of worldly goods. It aligns vows for bride and groom, notes equal civic status for women, and changes prayers and ring blessing while trimming references to Cana and Isaac and Rebecca. The proposal also adjusts language to comply with civil law and removes obsolete metaphors while adopting a Roman Catholic influence.
