Christianity's Tendency to Unite Discussed Locally by Visiting Anglican, Bishop The progress of the rela tively-new tendency toward unity in, the widely-split realm of Christianity is a "thrilling thing," to the Rt. Rev. Plump ton Wilson, Anglican Bishop of Chichester, in England.".' ' The young prelate a visitor in Medford yesterday, - dis cussed this ecumenical mover ment, and a dozen other sub jects, at an informal luncheon gathering of a score of Med ford and Grants Pass business, civic and religious leaders. : i He is in Oregon at the ex press invitation- of Bishop James W. F.- Carman of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon. fine . Anglican church, or "Church of England," is the British . equivalent of the American Episcopal church.) The invitation was extended asi result of the world-wide assembly of Bishops of the Anglican communion at Lam beth Palace in London last year, which Bishop Carman attended. Yesterday's luncheon was arranged by the Rev. George R. V. Bolster, rector of St. Mark's parish here, and dean of the southern convocation of j the-diocese. Ecumenical" Movement "- Bishop Wilson termed it a scandal" that Christians, who essentially are all working to ward the ; same : end,: should have become so serious divid ed over 1 the , years,' and ex pressed., his gratification : that the ecumenical 'movement, which began j only some 50 years ago, principally in areas of mission- work where theo logical divisions were less im portant,: has at last gained momentum. He cited the United Church of India, and others in the far east, as examples of dif fering denominations rejoin ing in a common communion, both '. in theology and as to aims and activities. . In. England, he said, there is a progressive understanding between the churches that there shall be mutual respect, and efforts to unite in practi cal, goals. He spoke of the World Council of Churches, and its counterpart in differ ent, countries, as evidence of this progress. Mutual under standing, and friendly contact, he said, are the first steps to ward a' broader and deeper union. -. - ' Exchange Complements 1 -In England 50 years. ago, lie said, 'the various denomina tions exchanged brickbats; today they exchange compli ments. This," the Bishop, indi cated, is a measure of. the progress in a short half -cen tury. .. . Pope John XXIII, Bishop Wilson indicated, is greatly admired in European church circles, non-Catholic as .well as Catholic, but jt is not yet known how his attitudes will affect a truly world-wide ecu menical trend. But, he said, he and his colleagues have felt encouraged by the Pope's actions and statements so far. ; Turning to the rather widely-publicized downturn : in membership and attendance in the Church of England in recent years, the -Bishop granted that we have been down in the trough," but pointed out that gradually in terst in Anglican church af fairs is returning in England. "Between the two World Wars," he said, "a generation grew up which one could say had been shocked out of its faith and this is the generation which: are the parents of to day." ; ; But he. pointed out that there' is a new stirring of in terest In spiritual matters in England, and that both young "on'e, rariicularly students, ' older people, are now seeding a stronger spiritual INTERNATIONAL Chandler, indicating he may gain support for his candidacy of Health, Welfare and Educa We must abandon the cult of : ; ; : ; Edmud G.

There is a spirit of inquiry, he declared, and this brooks well for the future. Art Revival . As a corrolary, he cited the revival of art, both " secular and religious, in England, as evidence that people are look ing more and more to the "in visible, world" of. the spirit. The "gap" inihe active min istry,': occasioned by 10 years of war-and recovery, is now being overcome,- Bishop Wil son said, both from the ranks of young men, and from older, more mature men, who are turning to things of the spirit. There was a lively discus sion of education, and the rel ative merits of a scientific and technological education, need ed in i the Sputnik -related world of today, and one in the classics and liberal arts. The Bishop, himself a former school master in the classical tradition, said the ideal would be for each student to receive training in both-f or scientists "to be civilized" by liberal arts and the classics, and for humanities students to "get their feet on the ground"" with a knowledge , of the world around us. He granted this is difficult, and is a matter of available time, but he declared it is an ideal which should be striven for. ; He said, in response to ques tions, that he feels Commun ism has had an influence on the resurgence of interest in spiritual matters, but more because it has "shown, up the issue" of right and wrong than because of any material chal lenge to the west. "The chal lenge of Communism is a spir itual challenge," he said, "and can be met only by spiritual strength." . Practical Problems ...In, a general discussion of Communism and the west, he discussed ,some of the prac tical, as well as theoretical, problems which must be faced - those of underprivileged countries which sometimes see the choice, not as between freedom and authoritarian ism, but between Communism and hunger: - f j The British de facto recog nition of Red China - he de scribed, not as approval, , but as a recognition of the facts of the matter: the fact that the Communist regime is in con trol of that nation. And, he declared, no nation is "all good" or "all bad," and that there is less friction with a nation one trades with, than with one with whom there is trade rivalry. The Bishop, who is a mem ber of the British House of Lords by virtue of his eccles iastical rank, saw portions of the Rogue Valley yesterday afternoon, spoke at a" gather ing at St. Mark's church last night, and was to leave with Bishop Carman and Mr, Bol ster this morning for Rose burg and Coos Bay.

It is the subject material in books and other creative works." . Complainants Change Johnston said that the same people who complained a few years ago that movies were not adult enough were, now complaining that they were too adult. . "Classification is a difficult matter," he said. "First, who is to enforce it; we don't own our theaters any . more. Sec ond, in other countries of the world there are laws by which theaters would lose their li censes if children were to see such films-even with adults. "In this country, there are no federal laws governing the matter. The problem is, if we take it upon ourselves to clas sify movies, do we elicit the kind of censorship . we have been trying to avoid and fight in various, states?" . Johnston said : there., has been criticism of motion pic tures . in some instances, for their adult subject material. Many Films Imported "But," he said, "we must remember, we imported about 760 films, and we produced only 218 in Hollywood. In all, some 288 pictures got the Movie Code's Seal of Appro val and most of the criticism was directed at those pictures without the seal." Johnston said that on a re cent trip to France, certain high members of the de Gaulle government were con cerned about whether some exported French films were giving a 1 "false picture" of the way of life in their coun try.". "But I -am personally op posed to censorship in any form," . Johnston said. "The abuses and difficulties, that it brings with it are greater than those incurred without censorship." u -- i"-' ii 1 i i j.i i. j.. I ' 1. I .f ..
