Communion Ban For Innocent. Divorcees May Follow Remarriage Bill

LAITY FIGHT BISHOPS "Gravest Issue' Raised Today

London, Nov. 19.

A FEW hours before

bishops, clergy and laity meet at Church House, Westminster, to thrash out the Church's attitude to divorce and remarriage the Divorce Court president will end 165 marriages for ever.

The making absolute ur these! decrees nisl granted six monflrs ago] will take the president. Sir Hoyd Merriman, only a few minutes.

As soon as that is done two divoree Judges will deal with fifty-one unde- tended cases set down for hearing lo-day.

When the courts,are closing for the day the Church Assembly will meet at Central Hall to discuss a proposed measure which would forbid clergy to marry any man or woman con- cerned in a divorce case without re- gard to innocence or guilt.

The bishops are expected to favou

CHURCH REMARRIAGE

"That a committee be appointed with an instruction to prepare and introduce a measure for prohibit- in the use of the service for the solemnisation of holy matrimony contained in the Book of Common Prayer in respect to the marriage of any person whose spouse by a former marriage is still alive."

Mr. Arthur S. May, authority on marriage in church, who acted legal assessor when this question was brought before the joint com- mittee of the two Convocations, yes- terday described the proposal as "raising the gravest issue since the Revised Prayer-book."

The Church Assembly sit in three houses the House of Bishops. House of Clergy, and House of Laity.

Mr. May said: "The bishops will certainly favour the

measure.

Most of them have already expressed the view that no divorced person- innocent or qulity-be permitted to re-marry in church.

"Several bishops have recently warned their clergy not to conduct | such morringes.

"It would seem that the opposition to this measure must come principally from the laity.

"My own view is that it thing to refuse to marry party quite another thing to punish one who may be deserving of sym- pathy.

"The law allows divorce. Publle opinion; in my view, is firm to-day that some right to divorce is required by morality..

"I have heard the view expressed and I believe it is very widely held that while Christiunily sets before us the ideal marriage for our ex- ample it does not seek to put a yoke on humanity which, it is not able to bear.

"It is right to discourage divorce, "It is wrong to deny that some- times, for some people, it is the only way out-and the right way out."

Mr. May said that if Lord Hugh Cocli's proposal la accepted another measure dealing with the admission of divorced persons to Holy Communion will probably follow.

"I believe," he said "that the sequel would be that a proposal would be brought forward to ban divorced persons, innocent or gull- ty, unless they were ready to seck the permission of the bishop and. express regret.

"There may be, in the end, no place whatever for divorced persons

in the Church of England."

ONE BISHOP SAYS

POLICY UNSOUND

One bishop at least does not agree

that the church should "treat the innocent like the guilty."

01

Dr. 11. II. Henson, Bishop Durham, speaking on the Matrimonial Causes Act at Durham Diocesan Conference on Saturday, sald he considered such treatment "unsound in principle and polley."

"It is clearly my duty frankly to dissociate myself from it," he said. "I do not understand why the Church should treat as offenders ngainst the Lew of Christ, those Christian people--themselves in no merely technical senso innocent merely-who have exercised the parties-who have exercised the ilberty of marriage after divorce, which from the Apostolle ages has been allowed in churches and which is to-day everywhere allowed outside the Papal obedience,
