Item Details
Title:
"Station Conference to Basel"
Description
Replying to the Basel Committee Protocol Paragraph 89 (4th February 1891) on marriages between Christians and heathens. The Station's Conference advices that these have to be sanctioned in new community where the Christian men have no Christian girls with whom they can marry. If the man remains a Christian there is no question of the marriage becoming polygamous, and the Christian upbringing of the children is assured. Therefore they suggest an insertion in the proposed draft that Christian men in the new community with no marriageable Christian girls should have the right to marry a heathen. They are opposed to giving Christian girls permission to marry a heathen man, because there is no guarantee that the marriage will not become polygamous, and there is every possibility that the children will be brought up heathen.
