ANGLICAN CHURCH
ATTITUDE TO DIVORCE. DRASTIC PROPOSALS. LONDON. Feb. 24. The smouldering quarrel between the Anglican Church and Parliament re- ; garding divorce will be fought out as the result of a powerful representative commititee of churchmen framing proposals to exclude divorce from the Established Church, says the Sunday Graphic. The GOinsnitteo suggests the incorporation in the marriage service of a vow that neither party in any cir cuinstances will seek a divorce, which must be observed under p'tin of excommunication, including refusal of Com munion. Couples refusing to take, the \<»w must be married by the registrar with out the Church’s blessing. The proposals must first be submitted to convocation and if approved will be Taken to Parliament. Advocates declare . I hat if Parliament refuses measures be adopted by the Church as an administraitive Act, for which the civil law's confirmation is not required.
