Pastor Attacks Church Doctrine On Divorce Evil EpiKopal Clergyman Declares Unemployment and Disarma ment Arc Leading Prob lems for Consideration. N'ew Voik, Oct. 3. "Divorce is a comparatively unimportant 'prob lem and the church, if it will live, must concern itself with the big is sues of living in a modern world. "I'ncmployment, disarmament, equal rights for women, are the things with which the church must concern itself. "Women should be given the right to preach from the pulpits of the Episcopal church." These and other broadsides were fired at traditional churchmanship .by Dr. Percy Stickney Grant on his twenty-ninth anniversary as rector of the Church of the Ascension. Probably nobody in his crowded audience, hearing his implied criti cism of church policy, failed to con nect it with the slender black figure in Mrs. Dc Acosta Lydig's pew. The marriage of the popular pastor and his fashionable twice-divorced parish oner was forbidden by '.he church in this summer's pronouncements. A natural result of her interest has been attendance at the church where doctrine of a progressive character is taught by Dr. Grant. Mrs. Lydig, sheathed in black vel vet and furs, was one of the most intent listeners to Dr. Grant s pro gram of liberalism for his church. "Is the Episcopal church a live church?" Dr. Grant asked in his ser mon. "Today we - have conie to greater problems than ever before. Is the church we belong to paying any attention to them? "This summer it has concerned it self with a wrangle over divorce.' Not a wortf .about unemployment, dis armament, plague, pestilence cr famine." ' '.
