Presbyterians
Asked to Sponsor
New Church Here
The First Presbyterian
church, Medord, has been
asked by the Synod of Oregon
and the 'Southwest Oregon
Presbytery to sponsor a new
Presbyterian church in Med
ford as an immediate mis
sionary project.
The announcement was
made by Dr. D. Kirkland
West, pastor of the local
church, at a meeting Tuesday
evening for those members
interested in learning more
about the formation of another
Presbyterian church in Med
ford. In a letter received from
the Synod of Oregon, Dr. West
was notified that $22,500 was
available from the Synod for
purchasing property for the
new church.
Dr. West explained that sev
eral steps had been already
taken towards the establish
ment of another Presbyterian
church. He said that the Pres
bytery of southwest Oregon
was in the process of purchas
ing approximately six acres of
land in Glen Oak court on
Groveland ave. and Barne
burg court. An option was
taken on the land in 1953 for
a future church site when the
land, was still in the county.
Since that time the land has
been annexed to the city.
The pastor explained that
the current membership of
first Presbyterian church is
nearly 1,600 persons. He add
ed that the new church would
take care of the members of
the church that live some dis
tance from the church at
Eighth and Holly sts., or for
any interested persons. Dr.
West said the membership at
the present time is nearly
equally divided on either side
of Central ave.
The establishment of this
work in Medford is wifli the
approval of the Oregon Coun
cil of Churches, Dr. West re
ported. Following a discussion of
accomplishments so far, a nu
cleus of potential members of
the new church met.

'Are Unitarians Christians?'
Many Outsiders Ask
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
Ever since the first Uni
tarian churches were estab
lished in America in the early
part of the 19th Century, out
siders have been asking:
"Are Unitarians Chris
tians?" In the past few years, the
Church News
Adventists To Aid Annual
World Missions Appeal
Starting Saturday Here
The 54th annual World
Missions Appeal, sponsored
by the Rogue Vajley Seventh
day Adventist churches will
get under way officially on
Saturday, April 12, according
to John D. Trude, district
pastor.
Leading the volunteer
workers participating in the
six-week city-wide drive in
Medford will be Lewis Cor
win, home missionary director
of the Medford church, and
Walter Chapman, Valley View
church leader.
Funds will go toward ex
tending welfare, disaster aid,
and educational services at
home as well as a wide
spread medical, welfare, and
educational ministry in 185
lands abroad.
All funds contributed at
this time go directly toward
the welfare ministry, and are
distributed throughout the
year according to areas of
greatest need. In 1957 ap
proximately 60 per cent of
this aid was given in the
United States.
Natural Disasters
According to a report re
ceived by Mr. Corwin from
church headquarters, such
aid has gone to tornado, flood,
fire and other disaster areas
in a score of states, and the
church is achieving a pro
cedure of cooperation on a
nationwide basis with Red
Cross and Civil Defense offi
cials which is fulfilling one
of the church's prime objec
tives to be of service in
time of need.
Mr. Corwin said the church
is expanding i,ts program "to
meet an unprecedented num
ber of natural disasters."
Many church conferences are
buying vans, equipping them
as mobile disaster units. Num-

question has become a burn-1
ing issue among Unitarians
themselves.
A growing number of Uni
tarians, especially ministers,
have begun to answer the
question with a flat "no" in
stead of the traditional quali
fied yes. And this trend is
acutely distressing to those
, erous state and regional Ad
ventist groups are building
and stocking depots with
foods, clothing, bedding and
medical supplies.

among the Chinese there.

Truax are serving under the
Christian and Missionary Al
liance Mission board.

morning will be. "The Church
of Today and Its Place in our
Modern World."
The youth meeting at 7
p.m. will present a steward
ship program using the film
strip, "A Tip or A Talent."
Assembly of God
Starts Campaign
The annual Sunday school
loyalty campaign will start
at First Assembly of God,
1108 West Main st., Sunday
and will continue each Sun
day through May 25, accord
ing to the school superintend
ent, Myron O. Hanson. The
theme "Always Faithful" has
been chosen for this year's
campaign and will emphasize
faithfulness.
Areas covered will be pray
er, testimony, fellowship, mis
sions, family devotions, stew
ardship and attendance.
A short one-act play will
be presented each Sunday at
9:45 a.m. centered around the
"Bentley" family, depicting
its activities as related to the
loyalty campaign. Adults and
children in the' play will be
selected from Sunday school
members.
Members
Unitarians, particularly in
New England, who still con
sider themselves "liberal
Christians."
Tension between these two
groups was heightened last
May when the annual meet
ing of the American Unitar
ian association voted to
change the name of the de
nomination's magazine from
"The Christian Register" to
"The Unitarian Register."
No "Official' Doctrine
It is characteristic of Uni
tarians that no attempt has
been made to resolve this ten
sion by spelling out an "of
ficial" doctrine.
Individual freedom of be
lief is the basic principle of
Unitarianism. The church has
no creed, no dogmas, no def
initions of faith that members
are expected to accept. Each
member is urged to "seek the
truth for himself" and to be
lieve only what he personally
finds reasonable and persua
sive. As an organized movement,
Unitarianism dates back to
16th Century in Europe. The
name apparently was design
ed to distinguish the church
from "Trinitarian" Christian
bodies which teach that God
manifests himself in three
ways or "persons" Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.
New England was the first
center of Unitarian strength
in the United States. The new
denomination, formally organ
ized in 1825, grew so rapidly
at first that Thomas Jeffer
son predicted 'that every
American would be a Uni
tarian within one generation.
This forecast proved to be
very wide of the mark. The
Unitarian church has remain
ed small. Today it has about
600 congregations with 160,
000 members. The member
ship is, still heavily concen
trated in New England but
since World War II there has
been substantial growth in
the Middle Atlantic States and
on the West Coast.
The number of Unitarians
who have been prominent in
American life is large in pro
portion to the size of the de
nomination. Jefferson and
four other presidents John
Adams, John Quincy Adams,
Millard Fillmore and William
Taft were Unitarians.
Among the well-known Uni
tarians living today are Adlai
E. Stevenson, Sen. Leverett
Saltonstall (R-Mass.), archi
tect Frank Lloyd Wright, Sen.
Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.), Ches
ter Bowles, Secretary of Com
merce Sinclair Weeks, histor
ian Henry Steel Commager,
astronomer Harlow Shapely,
and Dr. James H. Killian Jr.,
scientific adviser to President
Eisenhower.
Differences In Belief
Unitarians generally do not
acknowledge Jesus as Divine
Lord and Savior. They do not
believe in the Virgin Birth,
the Resurrection, the Incarna
tion, the Atonement or other
affirmations about the person
and mission of Christ that are
contained in the historic
Christian creeds.
But they do revere Jesus as
a great human teacher many
Unitarians would say the
greatest.
Many Unitarians define
their personal religion as
"trying to emulate the life of
Jesus" and on that basis they
consider themselves Chris
tians. Christian Workers
To Meet Tonight
Young Christian Workers
of Sacred Heart Catholic
