Springfield B apiis! that the global assembly is not a body of lawmakers, Charles Tafti of Cincinnati, O., and president of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, said: "There is riot yet enough cul tural similarity of background among the 150 church bodies to make such pronouncements pos sible or advisable." The No. 1 objective of the as sembly will be perfection of plans for the future program of the World Council, which had its in ception as far back as 1910 when global leaders began to dream about it. Plans had been made for the first meeting in 1940 but the World War prevented that as. sembly, Europe, in recent years have de bated whether or not women should have full rights of the ministry.
