Newspaper Page Text2A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Oregon, Friday, April 3, 1959 Congregational Church To Observe 5th Anniversary The fifth anniversary of the organization of the Congrega tional church of Medford will be celebrated with a banquet on Friday evening, April 10, and the service of worship the following Sunday. Principal Speaker at the banquet will be Dr. Adelbert J. Buttrey, the new minister and superintendent of the Congregational Conference of Oregon. This will be his first official visit to the Medford church. Mrs. Buttrey will be with him. The topic of his address will be: "The Past and Future of the Congrega tional Church in Oregon." The church's moderator, United Church of Christ Symbolizes Drive for Unity Br LOUIS CASSELS United Press International America's newest major re ligious body symbolizes, in its name and history, the power ful drive for Christian unity that is gradually breaking down the ancient barriers of Protestant denominationalism. Its name is the United Church of Christ. It was form ed on June 25, 1957, by the merger of the Congregational Christian Churches and the Evangelical and Reformed Church. When the merger is com pleted, the United Church will have a membership of J.iuiv 000, and will be the nation's seventh largest Protestant body. Although many congrega tions have begun using the new name, no local church is legally affiliated with the United Church of Christ at present. It will exist only in spirit and on paper until a constitution, now being draft ed, is completed and ap proved. Some local Congregational ist churches have served no tice they will not affiliate with th United Church. They have formed the National Associa tion of Congregational Chris tian Churches. This organiza tion reports a membership of 171 local churches, out of a total of 5,544 congregational Christian churches in the na tion. File Court Suit ' Four of the dissident Con- gregationalist churches and 10 individuals have filed a suit in the federal district court of New York challenging the le gality of the merger. An ear lier legal test, in New York state courts, resulted in a clear-cut victory for the pro merger forces. Despite these birth pains, the United Church is already regarded by students of church history as a tremen dously significant milestone in the ecumenical movement which seeks to draw together the divided Christian family. Unlike other church mer gers of recent years which have United Methodists with Methodists, Lutherans with Lutherans, and Presbyterians with Presbyterians, the "Unit ed Church represents the con fluence of two entirely dis tinct streams of Protestant Christianity. Congregationalism, which came to America aboard the Mayflower in 1620, is an off- shot of the English Reforma tion. The Puritans felt that the ecclesiastical hierarchy of the Church of England was stifl ing true Christian faith, so they established in New Eng land a new kind of church in which each local congregation was completely free to man age its own affairs. This em phasis on congregational au tonomy remains until this day a distinctive feature of Con gregationalist churches. The Evangelical and Re formed Church is a product of the Continental Reformation led by John Calvin and Mar tin Luther. It came to Ameri ca with the first German and Dutch immigrants to Pennsyl vania. Like other churches of the Calvinist tradition, it has a representative system of government called the Presby terian policy in which region al bodies called synods admin ' ister many church affairs. , Working out a compromise between these different ec clesiastical structures is the main problem confronting the constitution drafters of the United Church. There are no major doc trinal issues to be resolved, because both denominations eschew official creeds and leave the individual believer free to work out his own un derstanding of the Bible with in the basic context of faith in Jesus Christ as divine Lord and Savior. Worship customs vary wide ly in both denominations with each congregation free to make its own rules. Daryl Farnham, will preside over the dinner program. Mrs. C. Ivan Burton will speak as one of the church's charter members. The Rev. Fred G. Plocher, minister of the First Congregational church of Ashland, will speak as a neighboring pastor and member of the committee on new churches which formu lated plans for the establish ment of the church. Mike Travis will speak as one of the original members of the Sunday school and the first president of the Pilgrim Fel lowship. He is now a student at Southern Oregon college. Reservations for the dinner should be made not later than Tuesday morning. They may be made by calling Mrs. Clarence Miller, SPring 3 5189 or the parsonage, SPring 2-8860. There will be no arrangements for the sepa rate care of children but those old enough to enjoy the pro gram wil lbe welcome.

Steady Growth During the five years since that time the membership has shown a steady increase and the program of the church has been extended.
