Church Told
Merger Won't
- Halt Freedom
Discussion on Matter
Highlights Annual
"v- Conference
Bt GEORGE W. CORNELL
- OMAHA. Neb. Congrega
tional Christians were assured to
day thM their traditional "free
dom o. faith and manner of wor
ship" won't be hampered in a pro
pdied, historic merger with an
other denomination.
An executive committee, head
ed by the Rev. Dr. Raymond
Walker, of Portland. Ore., de
clared that the relationship of in-,
dividual congregations to the new
Congregational Christian General i
Council moved into its second cay.
The committee sought to an
swer rum b hues of complaint that
t$e union might apply central
coercion on the keenly-cherished
'local autonomy" of Congrega-
uonal Christian churches. I
Brought together in the merger
would be two churches of distinct-1
ly separate origins and organiza
tional customs the first such un
ton in America to bridge such a
gap in tne multiple families of
protestantism.
Dr. Albert Buckner Coe. of Eos
ton, moderator of the Congrega
tional Christian churches, told
the meeting last night the vitality
0 the church has always derived
from its ability to progress and
adaot to new needs.
.""We have the ability to change
to change without losing our
faith or our freedom." he said.
Earlier, the oelegates unani
mously elected George B. Hast-j
ings. a Grant, Neb., attorney and
a former county prosecutor and
state senator, as Council modera
tor, the church's top elective post.
Re succeeds Dr. Coe at the end
of the current meeting.
(n taking the office he said: "I
would plead for unity of spirit,
unity of purpose and unity is or
ganization." Bristling attacks on the pro
posed church union marked the
opening session, and drew a plea
later from the Rev. Dr. Arthur
a Bradford, of Jaffrey, N.H..
that the subject be approached un
der God's guidance.
,"If this be our way of procedure
we shall at no moment cease to
be a council and become a
Crowd," he said.
He said the merger represents
"an attempt to give practical ex-i
press ion to ideals cherished for '
fenerations."
.Congrccat lonal Christians, with
their strictly self-ruled congrega
tions, have their roots in Knglish
protestantism and the early pil
grims, while the Evangelical and
Reformed Church was planted in
this country from a German and
Swjss background.
Jt has a more coordinated gov
erning system, with individual
churches related to the national
general cynod on principles simi
lar to tho5e by which states are
related to the U.S. government.
But the plan of union promises
that all congregations in the new
church will retain "the rights now
enjoyed. I
The executive committee, ex-
pandmg on this, said "there is no
pvwer or authority and none is
chimed by which the General
Council' could make individual
churches a part of the union.
But a subtle question intruded
Into the discussion: Does a church
have to say specifically it wants
in the union to be in? Or does it
have to take specific negative ac
tim in order to keep out?
,An opposing group, led by the
Rev. Malcolm K. Burton, of Pon
tiac. Mich , proposes that no con
gregation be considered a part of
the union, unless it takes definite
affirmative action saying it wants
to be in.

land, district sales manager for

gress of his company during the
