"MOST EMBARRASSING”
DEAN BOWS TO CHURCH DISCIPLINE LOANED CRUCIFIX RECALLED Received June 4, 12.14 a.m. LONDON, June 3. The Daily Mail’s Tours correspondent says that the Rev. F. A. Cardew, Rural Dean in France, who is responsible to Bishop Fulham, says that directly he heard that the Rev. Jardine went to France he telephoned Bishop Fulham, who explained that it had been made clear that, the clergy of England must not take any part in the wedding. The Rev. Cardew said that he had lent a Crucifix for use at the civil ceremony but in the changed circumstances he had requested its return as he could not appear to countenance a ceremony disapproved by his superiors. “The whole position is most embarrassing,” he said. “The Duke is an old friend of mine, but I’m compelled to act in accordance with church discipline.”
