Lengthy and heated in its discussions, the 50th triennial General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church continued last week its meeting in Denver, Colo. (TIME, Sept. 28). Work done: ¶ The House of Bishops reelected Bishop James De Wolf Perry of Rhode Island to be its presiding Bishop, 86 to 15. His nearest opponent was Bishop Edward Lambe Parsons of California who got 13 votes. Mysteriously absent from the list of nominees was the name of Bishop Ernest Milmore Stires of Long Island, for whom electioneering had been carried on until the last minute. ¶ The House of Deputies passed...
...pointed out last fortnight (quoting Banker George Foster Peabody) that its membership controls one-tenth of the wealth in the U. S. But Episcopal dignity, grounded in ease and security, can become ruffled with changing times and new problems. It was evident last week that the Episcopalians' 50th triennial General Convention, opening in Denver, Col., was to be considerably less placid than the 49th, which President & Mrs. Calvin Coolidge opened in Washington (TIME...
...American Birth Control League invited 30 Protestant Episcopal bishops to its convention in Manhattan last week.

Conspicuously absent were women who revel in tales of their own childbearing, women too prudish...
...unwritten dogma of the Protestant Episcopal Church commands the observance of the tenets of good taste. When the President & Mrs. Coolidge walked to the dais for the opening of the 49th triennial General Convention of the Church, they picked their way through a lane of approving smiles, nor was there handclapping, for the beating of palm upon palm, except as a signal to acolytes, is neither rubric nor good taste at a church ceremony. When it came time for the House of Deputies (lower legislative house of the convention) to elect a president, only three ballots were necessary to affirm...
...great sub rosa concern of Protestant Episcopal bishops, priests, laymen who met at Washington last week for their 49th triennial convention was hierarchy. Nominally the bishops are co-equal with John Gardner Murray of Maryland as presiding bishop. But a growing faction of Episcopalians love regimentation. Particularly the Anglicans among them talk of creating archbishops. Others oppose them tooth and claw. Of this denominational stress little appeared when the convention opened last week and little of anything else. The time was spent shaking hands and preparing for contest of the next week...
