Episcopalians Propose Marriage Certificate and Waiting Period

One calls the legislature to require a certificate proving freedom from communicable diseases before issuing marriage licenses. the other urges harmonizing Virginia law with surrounding states on notification and waiting periods for license applicants. The measures were from the Board of Christian Social Service led by Rev. R. B. Nelson of Winchester. Two Richmond clergy, Rev. L. Carter Harrison and Rev. R. Cary Montague, were nominated as clerical deputy to the provincial synod. A resolution to extend the committee on the proposed canon fixing a rector’s tenure was adopted.
