PROGRAM IS NO LONGER
VISIONARY
New York.—Tentative plans have
been made and preliminary steps
taken toward a world conference on
faith and order through which it
hoped to unite all Christian churches
of the world, according to announce­
ments just made by the North Ameri­
can branch of the continuaiton com­
mittee of the world conference on
faith and order, representing about
40,000,000 Protestants of all denomi­
nations. The North American branch
held a three-day conference at the
Kew Gardens inn, Kew Gardens,
Long Island, N. Y.
World Conference in Washington
According to plans being made, the
world conference will meet in Wash­
ington in 1925, and will “pave the
way for official action by the
churches whereby they may meet on
some common ground looking toward
concerted action in furthering the
ideals of the Christian
religion
throughout the world.” The confer­
ence will represent the following
churches: Anglican, Armenian, Bap­
tist, Congregational, Czecho-Slovak,
Disciples, Eastern Orthodox, Friends,
German Evangelical Lutheran, Meth­
odist, Moravian, Old Catholic, Pres­
byterian, Reformed and South India
United.
Right Rev. Charles H. Brent of
Buffalo, Protestant Episcopal bishop
of western New York, in opening the
meeting, explained its purposes as
one of preparation for the forth­
coming world conference.
“The
movement for church unity has
passed through the poetic and visi­
onary stages,” he said, “and has
reached the point at which the time
is ripe to place its feet on the ground
and make its aim a commonplace of
the day.”
The proposed union is one of
churches and not of creeds, the bishop
explained.
REV. PAXTON RESIGNS
