At a recent meeting of the Diocese of Lexington, a commission made a report in answer to a petition to make women eligible to seats in the Diocesan Convention. The commission declined to recommend such a step in absence of similar action on the part of the General Convention. Let those who vote for woman suffrage in parish elections in the Diocese of North Carolina be prepared for the logical steps – women vestry men, women wardens, women delegates in conventions, etc., and suffragist bishops?
