t SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, September, 8, 19S7 Church Services in Germany Reviewed in Student's Letter (Editor'i Note: David Frohnmarrr, 18-year-old ton of Mr. and Mn. Otto Frohnmayer. 1SS Spring ii in Germany this summer ai an exchange ftudent under the American Field Service program. The Mail Tribune asked him before he lert to write a series of articles on his experience!, leveral of them concerning churches and religion. Fol lowing H one of bis letters concerning mis item 01 ma aoroaa.j Molln in Lauenburg, Ger many A few weeks ago I at tended the church here and found the services quite interest ing. The first thing which struck me was the mag nificent and elaborate interior of the church. It had beautiful stained glass windows and the colors were very nice throughout. The sanc tuary is quite the same as it was 400 years ago in the Middle Ages. Another thing that was different was the dress of the congrega tion. Boys came in jeans and lederhasen (the leather shorts so popular in Germany) and I saw very few Sunday suits. This tj'pe of dress is due mostly to the large number of hikers and travelers among the young peo ple who come into town to church from the camping places before continuing on their trips. The service itself starts with about one-half hour of organ music and hymns. They sing quite a lot in their church at least five hymns with eight or nine verses each. Sometimes the choir and congregation alternate verses. Scripture, e s p e c i a lly from the Psalms, is read often and several times the pastor chanted invocations. The sermon was quite formal and a bit more academic than in our churches. The pastor didn't talk to the peo ple but talked more in the fash ion of a lecturer. It was pernaps similar to the Jonathan Edwards type. I understood very little, but was told by the family that the sermon was good. Church membership in Ger many, unfortunately, has one big drawback, and that is the 10 per cent added taxes which church members must pay. This is because the church and State are not separate as In America, and taxes support the church. A "state church" is forbidden by law but the Gov eminent must perform certain services to help the tvo churches. Church membership Itself Is about equal ly divided between Protestants end Catholics. Northern Ger many, where I am living is most ly Protestant and Southern Ger many is predominantly Roman Catholic. The Jewish people, al most wiped out by Hitler, are beginning to return, but their number is still very small. As I reported before, the young people have many dif ferent opinions and beliefs. I think that the war has given many of the younger generation a very materialistic view on religion, and many times I have run across strange views. How ever, religion and belief in God is often a topic of conversation among the young people, and In this way each individual de velops and expresses his own ideas. Another reason for rejection of the church by many teen agers could very well be due to the religious training. Every Protestant teen-ager must have his Confirmation and to pre pare for it entails Iwo years. The clergymen are often very strict with their pupils and thus many of the students develop a dislike for it and all concerned with the church. Religion is also studied in school with separate classes for Protestants and Roman Cathol ics. This is held twice weekly for the nine years of high school, and in It the history, teachings, literature and philosophy of re ligion are discussed. The pop ularity of this class depends mostly on the teacher. If he is tolerant and encourages discus sion, the class is liked very much. If on the other hand, a teacher forces his own ideas on the students, one can easily see why the church loses its appeal. As I leave Germany in a few Methodist Men Attend Assembly Eight Methodist men of the First Methodist church will at tend the second annual Oregon Methodist Men's assembly today on the Willamette university campus. More than 500 dele gates are expected to attend. Theme for the three day meet ing will be the Layman's Re sponsibility for Spiritual Life with Dr. James S. Chubb of Grand Island, Neb., resource leader. Dr. A. Raymond Grant, bishop of the Methodist church in the Portland area, will deliver the sermon at the Sunday morn ing service at the Salem First Methodist church. Attending the assembly from Medford are Dr. Eugene Ray, local president of the group, Charles H. Thompson Jr., John Kent, Everett Faber, Dr. John Dixon, Charles Adamson, Rob ert Sage, and O. P. Taylor. days, this will "wind up" the series of articles I have written from Molln. I would like to give a general "summing up" with a few of my thoughts. Germany, today, as a repub lie is once again taking a lead ing place among the nations of the world. Its astounding re covery from the war is one of the economic miracles of this century (a fact for which United States foreign aid can take much credit). It is very enlightening to be seeing a foreign nation from the inside rather than from a tour ist's eyes. If a person thinks of Germany as the place where boys sit yodelling on a moun tain top dressed in peaked hats and old costumes with a wild flower in one hand and a beer mug in the other, he is mistaken If he thinks of Germany now as the place where 15 years ago fanatic Nazi youth screamed "Heil Hitler", he is equally mis taken. Since Molln is off the "beaten track", only a handful of Ameri cans have even seen it. Never theless, to anyone contemplating a European trip, Molln, in the province of Schleswig-Holstem is a must. I heard a fitting com rr.ent from one of my friends here. He told me, "I don't like Molln, I love Molln". Church News Committee Meets To Plan Member Canvass The executive committee of the Every Member Canvass met Thursday for breakfast, and elected Richard Fanger, general chairman of the canvass, to be conducted by the First Metho dist Church, during September. Directing the campaign will be Ralph M. Pedersen of the H. P. Demand and Associates firm. Mr. Pedersen is an active Metho dist, and has a son who is pastor of the P a r k s i d e Methodist church, San Francisco and an other son on the staff of the United States Mission to the United Nations. Mrs. Pedersen will accompany her husband here from California. Other committee heads and committee membership will be announced later. Protestants Discuss Church Unity at Meeting By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent Oberlin, Ohio (IP) Church leaders said today the rites of baptism and communion which once figured prominently in the splitting up of Christian denom inations may now serve to draw them together again. A surprising degree of agree ment on the two central sacra ments of the Christian faith has emerged at the Oberlin college conference where 47 Protestant and orthodox churches are now seeking a basis for unity. There are still some profound differences among the churches represented here about the meaning .of baptism and the Lord's supper. But many of the doctrinal disputes which bitterly divided Protestants of past gen erations seem to have spent their force. Episcopal Bishop Stephan F. Bayne of Seattle, Wash., who presides over a conference sec tion on the sacraments, said dis cussions so far have disclosed a "substantial measure of common ground." The conference began last Tuesday and will continue through Sept. 10. Two special reports on bap tism were presented to the con ferences today. One, by an in terdenominational study group from the Pacific Northwest, de clared that remaining differences are of "secondary importance." "We have in baptism and the Lord's supper a clear path to Christian unity," this group said. Another regional study group, from churches in the Newark, N. J., area, took the more cau tious view that "In baptism we have at least a partial realiza tion of the unity we seek." Both groups attached particu lar importance to the fact that virtually all Protestant and or thodox bodies now recognize as valid baptisms performed by other denominations. Some Bap tist churches are the notable ex ception to this rule. "Even the Roman Catholic church," the Newark report not ed, "may recognize the baptisms of many Protestant churches, providing it was done with water and in the name of the Trinity." ASHLAND SERMON Ashland "Toward a' Re sponsible Society," will be the 11 a.m. morning sermon topic Sunday at the Ashland-Methodist church by the Rev. Ross Knotts.
