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.
Officials of the world body have
warned that the primary purpose
of the meeting is not a union of
the various churches but an at
tempt to secure Christian unity in
the world.
It will not be an American con.
ference. Of the official 450 dele.
gates only 90 will speak for the
United States and Canada.
The American Christians will be
outnumbered by those from
Britain and the Continent and al
most equaled by the Eastern Or.
thodox and the so-called "young
er churches." The latter are the
groups founded by missionary ac
tivities in Asia, Africa and Latin
America. The United States will be rep
resented by such leaders as:
John Foster Dulles; Bishop G.
Bromley Oxnam; Dr. John R.
Mott; Dr. Daniel Poling; Commis
sioner E. I. Pugmire, head of the
Salvation Army in the United
States; Bishop Henry Knox Sher
