Drastic Change in Me Divorce Law Defeated by Ten Votes
The Associated Press reports a drastic change in the Methodist Episcopal Church divorce law was defeated by ten votes at the general conference. The vote was 360 to 350. The present rule bars ministers from marrying divorced persons whose spouses survive unless the divorce is for adultery. The proposed change would have allowed some marriages and barred ministers from marrying anyone deemed unfit. Rev G Hramley Exnam of Los Angeles argued many divorced people remain in adultery and seek God’s blessing for their children’s future homes.
