A Prayer for the World Assembly
(From The Christian Century)
Help us to bring forth fruits appropri
ate for repentance, that in this assembly
Almighty God, giver of every good and
perfect gift, we thank thee for the supreme
gift of thy Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. Our hearts are grateful for the
church, of which Jesus Christ is head,
which has brought us the good news of
salvation from all our sins. We pray for
the Church of Christ, and especially for the
Second Assembly of the World Council of
Churches.
Glory be to thee, 0 God, that in this
time of troubles thy powerful arm has
thrust back the hand of evil and brought
together in one place men and women
from the churches of many lands to witness
to our hope and the world's hope in Jesus
Christ. We pray for a special endowment
of thy grace and power on the Second As
sembly. We do not deserve thy favor, for
we have imposed on the unity which the
church has in Christ shameful divisions
dictated by our arrogance and pride.
Forgive us, we implore, for separating
brother from brother at the table of the
Lord; for clinging to outworn traditions
and little creeds when he prayed that we
all may be one.
Christ may be honored and God's saving
grace known to all the lost world.
Deepen our humility so that we may
hear thy voice, even when it speaks in the
accents of Christians whom we are accus
tomed to regard with condescension and
suspicion.
We are ignorant. Help us to welcome
thy truth, from whatsoever source it comes,
in the name of Him who is the truth. We
have strayed. Help us to walk in thy way,
even though the path is strange, in the
name of Him who is the way. We stand in
peril. Help us to accept life, and to turn
from our obsession with universal death, in
the name of Him who is life. Teach us to
listen with sincerity as well as to speak
with boldness; to act with understanding,
to forebear in love. Give us a new baptism
of the Holy Spirit, that this assembly may
be an unmistakable sign to all men that
Jesus Christ, our living Lord, is indeed the
hope of mankind. Amen.

Eugene Woman's Own Letter

EDITOR'S NOTE : Mrs.
Charles G. (Susan T.) Howard,
wife of Eugene's Methodist
delegate to the Second Assem
bly of the World Council of
Churches, is writing her own
informal versions of the great
convocation, for the Register
Guard. Here is her first let
ter. It is not my purpose nor have
the authority to make state
ments concerning the policies or
pronouncements of the Council.
I am merely writing my own
observations as a wearer of a
snirial nass to Plenary sessions.
Incidentally, we are told that
the press coverage for this meet
ing is greater than for any other
meeting in the history of the
United States save one me e
publican convention in 1952.
It is too early to predict how
far-reaching the results of this
meeting will be, but in the opin
ion of some leaders, it is one of
the momentous occasions of his
tory. The first assembly met in
Amsterdam in 1948. And now
when one considers that 1,500
persons including delegates, con
sultants, accredited ooservers,
youtho bservers, etc., from 161
denominations in 48 countries rep
resenting 170,000,000 Christians,
are willing to come together

emphasize their difference, one's
spirit is lifted.
At the Amsterdam meeting a
pledge was made, namely "We
Intend to Stay Togetner, ana
that pledge has become some
what of a slogan this year. In
fact, when Bishop Bromley Ox
nam, who is one of the six presi
dents of the council, preached the
opening sermon we repeated af
ter each point in his discourse,
We Intend to Stay Together."
The friendliness which exists
among the persons in attendance
is very obvious. Delegates are
housed on the campus of North
western University and meals
are served at various food serv
ice centers on the campus. Since
many of the foreign participants
have come at a great personal
financial sacrifice, every effort
has been made to keep the living
expenses down. All live and eat
side by side and all persons seem
to be uniformly courteous. My
companion at the Sunday morn-
ing church service was the wife
of the head of the Methodist
Church in Australia. She took a
picture of her husband wearing
his clerical robes as he marched
in the procession, "Because," she
said, "I think my children will
like lo see their father with this
group."
Returning once from McGaw
Hall, I found myself in the midst
of a group of youth consultants
from all over the world. The boy
who sat beside me was from!
India, while the one standing at
my side was German. Cubans,
Australians, and English were
there also, as were Americans.)
All were "chattering like mag
pies," and thoroughly enjoying
themselves. They can be serious,
however, and to me it is a very
healthy sign for Christendom that
they have been invited as con
sultants, sitting in conferences
with their elders.
You would find it interesting
reading if I could describe ade
quately the clerical garments
worn by members of the various
confessions. However, photo
graphy is a better medium. But
I can say this: the garb may be
a long robe (purple in many
shades, black, maroon, white)
usually belted, a frock coat, a
short white surplice, a two-piece
garment, frequently beautifully
embroidered, a simple black robe,
and others. Often a large golden
or wooden cross is suspended by
a chain. A few, Bishop Bcrgrov
of Norway among them, wear
white ruffs about the neck. Many
wear small white tabs at the neck.
The tabs symbolize the Ten Com-
