The interesting question, which has been before the Convention for several years, concerning the right of women to vote in parochial elections, was finally disposed of by a favorable vote, changing the constitution so as to allow women this right where a majority of the present qualified voters express their approval of it. This was the second affirmative vote on the proposed change of the constitution of the Diocese, and passed by a large majority. This change in the law of the Diocese does not make woman suffrage obligatory in any parish, but may be adopted where a majority of the qualified male voters in a parish assembled in a congregational meeting shall vote in favor of giving women this right. This change does not give women the right to become members of the vestry.
