Episcopalians Debate Divorce Canon In House Of Deputies
In San Francisco on October 11 the house of deputies debated amendments to the marriage-divorce canon. Dr. Huntington proposed allowing marriages of those previously divorced for adultery if innocent, while Dr. Battle urged remarriage for parties divorced seeking new unions.
