WOMEN CHURCHGOERS
USE OF LIP-STICKS
CLERGY'S LIMITED POWERS
(Received May 13, 6.15 p.m.) LONDON, May 12
A clergyman has no legal right to refuse Communion to lip-sticked women, a Diocesan law officer informed the Daily Mail. Anglicans are permitted to withhold the Sacrament only if the communicant does not kneel without good cause, refuses to attend public prayer, or is a " notorious depraver " of the Prayer Book, or an evil liver. Refusal in other circumstances offends ecclesiastical law and renders the offender liable to heavy punishment.
