...President was not taken to task for allowing his children to throw off their marriage vows so lightly by Rt. Rev. James Edward Freeman, Bishop of Washington who is far too politic to antagonize the White House. Nor did Rt. Rev. William Thomas Manning.

Two days later the assembly voted 123-to-113 against submitting to the 67 presbyteries of the United Church the proposal to merge with the Presbyterian...
