Initial approval given proposal at church meet VATICAN CITY (UPI) The Ecumenical Council gave "nearly unanimous" preliminary approval today to a document that could mark a great stop toward Chris tian unity. During a three-hour session, about 2,300 Roman Catholic pre lates ruled that Die proposal "de ccclesia" about the church was fit for further debate. Authoritative sources said the council "will now begin a point-by-point discussion." The Latin debate may go on for weeks be fore there is a final vote.

The long "Do Ecclcsia" docu ment includes sections on the nature of the church, the powers of bishops and thoir relatlonsliip to the Pope in tho government of the church, and tho role of lay men in Catholic life. An authoritative source said tho draft stresses that there is in common, rather than the differ ences, between tho Pope and other bishops, between ordained clergymen and laymen, and be tween Catholic and non-Catholic Christians. It defines the church, in biblical language as "tho peoplo of God" and says that all of the people of God are united in a basic equality. Although the document clearly reiterates the traditional Catholic teaching that Christ conferred special powers upon the apostles land their successors, tho bishops of today), it emphasizes that "those who stand out in power as ministers serve their brothers."
