(Brainerd photo) European Women Concerned With Bible and Theology Says Returning Traveler Most European women have more concern for the Bible and theology than American wom en, an American minister's wife said recently, after visiting women's church groups in Ger man, Switzerland and France. Mrs. Cynthia Wedel has been visiting the organizations, while her husband. Canon T. O. Wedel, dean of the College of Preachers of the Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., has been lec turing at tne Ecumenical Insti tute of the World Council of Churches at Bossey in Switzer land. Though European women gen erally are more theologically minded, Mrs. Wedel said. Amer ican women probably are more expert at organizing and doing things. European church wom en have n better understanding of the World Council and what it stands for, she added. Legion Leader, District Attorney Speak for Union Mrs. Ellmore Gilstrap, leader of the Loyal Temperance Legion group, gave a report of their May 1 meeting at a session of the Woman's Christian Temper ance union held Thursday after noon at the Girls Community club.

Hollywood Bread Is Baked Exclusively In This Area By The difference in interests be tween European and American church women points up the need for each group learning from the other, Mrs. Wedel be lieves. A mutual increase in knowledge and understanding can lead to greater cooperation, she added. "A more accurate picture of one another is the first thing our women's groups on each side of the Atlantic need from their coming together in the World Council," Mrs. Wedel said. "Eur opean women are eager about the United States. Most of them have exaggerated ideas about the abilities of American wom en. I find we are all very much alike. "To get to know each other, we need many more visits to and from with time to get acquaint ed. We need more writing back and forth vith descriptions of our work and we need more world-wide baring on occasions like the Women's World Day of Prayer. And, above all, we must see that this cooperative endeav or is not a 'women's problem,' but a concern of all lay people." On another subject, Mrs. V.'rdel said the church and re ligious organizations are the one real and vital link left between East and West Germany, partic ularly in Berlin. "There are close and warm ties between churches in the Russian sector of Berlin and thoFe in Weft Berlin," she ex plained. "At present, work is proceeding without much obvi ous interference with anything that specifically is identified as 'church.' Church women in Ber lin meet frequently for Bible study and fellowship, one month in the Eastern sector and the next in the Western sector."
