43 Denominations
Plan Late Summer
Meeting in
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
Washington HP) Two pio
neers of the Protestant ecumen
ical movement predicted today
that American churches will
take historic steps toward unity
at a '43-denomination meeting at
Oberlin, Ohio, late this summer.
Dr. Samuel McCrea Cavert
and the Rt. Rev. Angus Dun
said in separate interviews that
the "North American Faith and
Order Conference" on the cam
pus of Oberlin college Sept. 3
10 will rank as one of the most
important meetings ever held
in the long,; slow effort to heal
the divisions of Christendom.
Cavert is U.S. evecutive sec
retary of the World Council of
Churches. Dun . is Protestant
Episcopal bishop of Washington.
Both are wheelhorses in the re
union movement which church
men call "ecumenism" from the
Greek word for "drawing to
gether." Progress Expected
At Oberlin, 400 representa
tives of major U.S. and Canadian
church bodies will talk over
the specific differences in doc
trine, ecclesiastical organization
and policy which keep Protes
tants divided into a multiplicity
of denominations.
Dun, who is chairman of the
committee on arrangements for
the conference, said no one ex
pects the Oberlin discussion to
result in an immediate wave of
denominational mergers. But he
is confident that the meeting
will lead to "profound progress
in mutual understanding, friend
ship and respect," and thereby
lay the groundwork for later at
tempts to work out actual
schemes of reunion.
Cavert said a main purpose
of the meeting is to determine
"how such consensus of doc
trine we actually have on which
to build a united church."
He predicted that the church
es represented at the conference
will discover that they have "a
much greater body of basic doc
trine in common than they gen
erally realize."
"I think we will learn from
candid discussion of pur- differ
ences that there already is a
great deal of unity among us
on the essentials of faith," he
said.
Affront To God's Will
Cavert said it probably will
take "a generation" to bring
about formal, organic unity of
a large number of Protestant
denominations. But he said the
churches are "moving definite
ly in that direction-' because
New York
Backed by
New York (W Evangelist
Billy Graham said Thursday
night his crusade against New
York's crime and sin already ap
pears to be more successful than
any campaign he has ever un
dertaken. He said the New York
Crusade is backed by "probably
the greatest concentration of
prayer in the history of the
Christian Church."
"People the world over are
praying for the success of this
crusade," he said. "This is the
one everyone is interested in. I
can feel their prayers."
Meetings Held by
Phoenix Church;
Plans Announced
The Sunday school officers
and teachers of the First Presby
terian church, Phoenix, for their
regular monthly meetings, and
discussed plans for ' the Discus
sion of sending a delegate to the
workers training school at Lewis
and Clark college and plans for
the Daily Vacation Bible school
were among the main items of
the meeting. The dates of the
daily vacation bible school will
be June 10 through June 14.
Mrs. Charles Marrs has been ap
pointed superint endent the
school, in which capacity she
served last year.
The regular monthly meeting
of the session was held on Sun
day afternoon. The recent ham
supper at the church raised near
ly $470 which will be used to
defray the expenses of the in
stallation of the sewer system on
the church property.
Mothers day was observed at
both the Sunday school and
church services last Sunday. At
the Sunday school hour, Mother's
day cards and plaques were
given to the oldest and youngest
mothers present. Mrs. Enid Cas
ter, and Mrs. Bessie Young re
ceived ohnors as the oldest
mothers', both being the same
age, and Mrs. Dorothy Williams
being the youngest mother
present.
The church presented corsages
to the oldest mother present at
the church service which was
received by Mrs. M. B. McFad
din and to the mother with the
largest number of children pre
sent. This was- given ,to Mrs.
Bertha Medcalf.
Ohio
they recognize increasingly that
division are' an affront to God's
will.
The ecumenical movement al
so is being pushed along, he
said, by a strong sentiment
among laymen that it is scan
dalous and unnecessary for Prot
estants to remain "splintered"
into sects.
There are more than 250
known Protestant bodies in the
United States and Canada. The
43 which will meet at Oberlin
represent the vast majority of
the total membership, however,
and include most of the large,
well-known denominations that
already are cooperating in such
organizations as the National
and World Council of Churches.
Biggest holdout from the ecu
menical movement is the nine
million member Southern Bap
tist convention.
Many church leaders share
Cavert's expectation that the
Oberlin conference will show
that time has worn off the sharp
edges of many doctrinal dis
putes which Protestants of earl
ier generations considered suf
ficient grounds for parting com
pany. The toughest problems con
fronting the conference may
well be in the area of "order"
rather than "faith." Order means
the way in which a church body
is organized and governed.
Protestant practice varies
from an extreme "congregation
al policy" in which the congre
gation of each local church is
virtually a law unto itself, to
some degree of "episcopal pol
icy" in which a measure of cen
tral supervision is entrusted to
bishops or other officials.
Cavert said the challenge is
to work out "reconciliation" of
the traditional Protestant em
phasis on liberty and local auto
nomy with the evident need for
enough ' organizational unity to
make the church an effective
entity.
The Oberlin delegates also
wilj discuss another problem
which has played perhaps an
even bigger role than differen
ces of faith and order in main
taining Protestant divisions
the question of racial integra
tion in worship. Most of the
denominations to be represented
at Oberlin lorjg ago went on
record in favor of abolishing
racial barriers in church life.
But the fact that several of the
participating bodies are all-Negro
denominations is the best
evidence of how far the church
es still have to go to translate
this principle into practice.
Crusade
Prayer
Graham's second night audi
ence at Madison Square Garden
was logged by Garden officials
at 13,000, a drop of 5,500 from
the near capacity gathering at
opening night. But Graham said
he thought it was proportionate
ly a record for a second night.
"It always drops off the second
night and then it gathers mo
mentum," he said.
The energetic evangelist said
he was so encouraged by the
turnout for his war on sin that
he expects to extend it well be
yond the originally planned six
weeks. He said he hoped to hold
a giant outdoor meeting for 100,
000 persons this fall in Yankee
Stadium or the Polo Grounds.
Some 545 "inquirers" made
"decisions for Christ" Thursday
night after hearing Graham in
a fiery indictment of "this
morally sick world." The hand
some, 38 - year - old crusader
dropped some of the restraint
of his previous night's sermon,
but the address still was some
what short of the "hell iire and
brimstone" of an old-fashioned
revival meeting.
Earlier Thursday, Graham told
a group of ministers that "God
will hear the prayers of his
people until the cleansing stream
will flow like a river through
this great metropolis."
He told the ministers his
crusade was on the verge of
scoring a "major breakthrough"
in the battle to win the city's
"unchurched" millions to Christ.
