Church Unity
Prayers Planned
For Next Week
Br LOUIS CASSELS
.' United Press International
Catholic, Protestant and Or
thodox Christians around the
world will pray next week
;for reunion of the long-divided
Christian family.
But in the very act of pray
ing for unity, they will drama
tize their disunity.
To Catholics, the period
Jan. 18 through 25 marks the
annual observance of the
"Chair of Unity Octave." Dur
ing this period, Catholics of
fer special prayers for the
"return" of Protestant and
Orthodox Christians to the
"one true church." The name
of the . observance signifies
Catholic insistence that unity
can be achieved only if other
churches acknowledge the au
thority of St. Peter's "chair"
-the papal throne in Rome.
Simultaneously 'but separ
ately, the 171 Protestant and
: Orthodox denominations in
.the World Council of Church
es will observe their own an
nual "Universal Week of
Prayer for Christian Unity,
. Implicitly rejecting Rome's
terms, they will pray that the
Catholic . church may be led
to a less "intransigant" stand;
"Unfortunate Spectacle ,
World Council leaders ad
mitted in their formal call to
prayer that it is an "unfortu
nate spectacle" for two great
bodies of Christians to be
praying for unity, at the same
time but "with apparently
contradictory purposes." -
But they said that "realistic
recognition of our tragic divi
sions" can be a good thing if
it leads to sincere prayer for
God's - guidance and help in
healing these divisions.
. Catholic theologians doubt
less would agree. And therein
lies one hopeful aspect of the
situation..
'Next week's prayers for
unity, even though offered on
e. seemingly competitive ba
sis, reflect a mutual recogni
tion; that the fragmentation of
the church is an affront to
God and a scandal to man.
While j differences are still
wide : and deep, there is
growing conviction on .both
aides that they must somehow
be bridged. ..
"Separated Bretheren' . .'
" In his Christmas message: a
few weeks ago, . Pope John
XXIII referred to members, of
the Eastern Orthodox church
es as ."our- dear- separated
bretheren." He said he would
."pursue humbly but fervent
ly" a "loving invitation" for
reunion of the Orthodox
churches with Rome. .
The Orthodox Patriarch of
Constantinople replied on
New Years day. He expressed
"joy" at the Pope's overture
and said "it would be the
dawn of a really new year in
jesus unnst u such a reun
ion could be accomplished.
- What, if- anything, . will
come of the exchange remains
to be seen. But its friendly
tone impressed church histori
ans who recalled that in an
omer exenange, sod years
ago, the Pope of Rome and
the Patriach of Constantino
ple excommunicated one an
other to formalize the first
"great schism" of the Chris
tian church.
Locomotive Winds
Up on Wrong Side
Buffalo, N.Y.-IDPD-The old
steam locomotive donated to
the city of Buffalo in 1954
by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad as an "educational
exhibit" is winding up on the
wrong side of the tracks.
The railroading veteran was
given a shiny coat of black
paint and its brass was gleam
ing when it was placed on
permanent exhibition in La
Salle Park. But, the city fa
thers didn't figure on the
hoodlum element.
The locomotive has been dis
mantled piece by piece over
the months-even a - fence
didn't protect it-until it's be
come an eyesore. Officials in
dicate it soon will be con-
signed to the scrap heap.
