Episcopal convention rejects women on vestries in Central New York
Delegates from 144 parishes at the 82nd annual Central New York Episcopal convention voted 134 to 91 against a proposed canon change to allow women on vestries. The move followed the naming of Mrs. Lambert as vestrywoman at Trinity Church Fayetteville. Bishop Peabody led the debate urging spiritual renewal amid Cold War ideologies.
