June.0.19TH MC GN ALPgSv Canadian Anglican Church will allow women to become priests NEW YORK (/) - In an his- toric move, the Anglican Church of Canada has authorized the ordination of women as priests, it was learned here yesterday. The action came late Wednes- day night at the Church's Gen- eral Synod in Quebec City, Can- ada. THE STEP was expected to have worldwide implications for the Anglican communion at large, which has branches around the globe involving 45 million members, including the Episconal Church in the U. S. The Most Rev. E. W. Scott, primate of the Canadian Church, said its action "will have a sig- nificant influence on other pro- vinces of the Anglican com- munion.", . The issne of women's ordina- tion has become a sharpening controversy throughout the va- rious provinces, or national branches, of the Church. IT HAS become a particularly keen issue in the U. S., where the irregular ordination of 11 women has stirred an intensify- in strugale over the question. The Anglican communion, like the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, af- firms the apostolic succession in its ministry, tracing its linetof ordination to the time of the apostles of Jesus. Churches of that tradition gen- erally have excluded women from the priesthood, while most major Protestant bodies have admitted women to ordination. T H E C A N A D I A N Church, with about 1.5 million members, became the first Wes- tern body in that tradition to au- thorize ordaining women. The step had been taken five years ago by the smaller Anglican Church in Hong Kong. The bishop of the Hong Kong Church, the Rt. Rev. Gilbert Baker, a guest in Quebec City for the synod there, said its ac- tion allowing ordination of wo- men "will have quite an ef- fect." - Questioned about its impact, he added, "After all, Canada is one of the largest churches in the Anglican communion, and what they do is listened to." THE VOTE on the matter came shortly before midnight Wednesday, after two hours of floor debate. Both branches of the bicameral legislature, the lay-clergy House of Deputies and House of Bishops, over- whelmingly approved two reso- lutions about it. One of them reaffirmed "the principle of the ordination of women to the priesthood," par- alleling a. similar expression of principle approved at the pre- vious synod in 1973.- Washington protesters remember Rosenbergs (Continued from Page 3) vindicated," Fulmer said, as "Our over-riding concern is several blue - coated FBI agents that the Justice Dept. and the looked on impassively.
