WOMEN AND, HOLY ORDERS

DECEMBER 91st, 1998.

P.&O.BANKING CORPORATION

·LIMITED,

A public debate or the question of the admision of women to Holy Orders took place at the Church House, Westminster, on November 8th. The opponents were Mi Picton-Turbervill and the Rev. Con Goudge, Regius Professor, Oxford.

Miss Piston-Turbervill moved that the AUTTORED CAPTÍTAL admision of women to Holy Orders would SUBSCRIBED AND PAID UP... make for the mors! and spiritual welfare: Rmstari Fuso of the nation. Fundamentally, she said, the Church still held the view that women were inferior to men. The moral life of a nation suffered wherever women in gay: way whatever were locked upon as in ferior. Therefore, the Church, by its rigid exclusion of women, strengthened the double standard of morality. Sho beliored that the admission of women to

(INCORPORATED IN ENGLAND 1930) with which is afliated THE ALLAHXHAD BANK, Z/T3.,

Holy Orders would not only do away with the suggestion of inferiarity, but would help to build up the Church.

Canoes Goudge said he was going to de fend the traditional view. If the Church had always denied the bighar ministries to women, it was because the Church had always believed that the higher ministries wore broadly speaking, unsuited to women, and that such ministries drew women away from work which was equally

and equally fruitful and far more itable to them. The Church had always: believed that, by the will of God, 'authority had been appropriated to mez as it had not been to women, No wou, except St. Theres, had left any permanent mark upon the thought of the Church.” More- over, man would never willingly and gladly accept the leadership of Woman! Therefore he believed that to reverse the present order would disgrace the Churchi of England before the whole Cathrio world.

· THE MARRIAGE AGE.

Certain of our social reformers are wont: to protest that the age of marriage has been set End two late in the modern world, Our daughters séan but little impressed. and now that war conditions have ceased to disturb their purposes they are in "no hurry to surrender themselves to married "life. Perhaps they may be edified by the examples from the past which Dr. C. Moor has been quoting to the Society of Genealo- gists. - The existing law of England follow- ing precisely the Roman law, make the carliest age at which marriage can bo con- tracted 14 for a boy and 19 for a girl. But this, as Dr. Moor points out, was to use to the Middle Ages.

There was another in 156s, when James Ballard met a damsel and was by her "entio with two apples to go to Colne Church and marry her.' Apples have been day- gerous to man since the days of Adam, and, almost as long, tokens of love. James, the enticed one, when later he went to school, must have disped with peculiar fervour his "Maloj me Galatea petit; laciva parlia." Dr. Moor has a sixteenth-century example of a bride of 2, Joan Brereton, whom ber Elizabethan father married off at that inadequate age.
