Title: Uncanonical ordinations.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: Suggested for use with RNS WEEK IN RELIGION for release Aug. 9, 1974 PC-45860 UNCANONICAL ORDINATIONS PHILADELPHIA -- Four Episcopal bishops ordained 11 women deacons to the priesthood in an uncanonical ceremony in Philadelphia’s Church of the Advocate (July 29). Although there is no Episcopal canon that specifically prohibits the ordination of women to the priesthood, the canons specifically state that “No deacon shall be ordained priest unless he be first recommended by the standing committee of the diocese to which he belongs.” None of the 11 women had received such a recommendation.
