"Report to the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Joint Commission to Study the Whole Problem of Divorce" is an extensive ecclesiastical investigation into the social, moral, and legal complexities of marital dissolution in the early twentieth century. Commissioned by the Episcopal Church, this work represents a formal inquiry into the conditions and underlying causes contributing to the rising divorce rates of the era. The report provides a thorough analysis of how religious doctrine and pastoral care intersect with the shifting societal norms regarding the institution of marriage.

By examining the theological and sociological factors at play, the text offers a window into the church's efforts to address family stability and domestic relations during a period of significant cultural transition. It serves as a vital primary source for those interested in the evolution of Christian ethics, church policy, and the history of the family in the United States. This detailed study is an essential resource for scholars of religious history and sociology, providing insight into the internal deliberations of one of America's major religious institutions regarding one of the most pressing social issues of the 1920s.
