ICItiiirox I nwMiMIKItMM EH MARGARINE BIG Council of Churches Preparatory Study Booklet Published Geneva - An intensive ef fort to bring the quest for Christian unity home to local congregations around the world will get underway soon. The occasion is the publi cation of the World Council of Churche s' preparatory study booklet for the Third Assembly to be held in New Delhi, India, Nov. 18 to Dec. 6, this year. During the year the 76-page booklet will be studied around the world by tens of thous ands of Christians belonging to the Council's 178 member churches. In small village churches in Asia and Africa, in big city congregations in Berlin and Chicago, men and women will come together to study and discuss the Assembly theme, "Jesus Christ, the Light of the World." The booklet is designed to enlist the participation of the local church in the Assembly. An initial printing of nearly half a million copies in French, English and German will be followed by other lan guage editions for Spanish speaking, Scandinavian, Asian and African countries. In all the booklet will be published in more than 20 languages. The total run may reach one million copies. Spiritual Presence In the preface, Dr. W. A. Visser 't Hooft, general secre tary of the World Council of Churches, explains that the Vigyan Bhaven hall in New Delhi where the Assembly will be held, cannot possibly accommodate the hundreds of thousands of members of churches to whom the bro chure will go "in all parts of the world, and in very many languages. But we need your spiritual presence, your per sonal participation in this event." The churches meeting in Now Delhi, through their chosen delegates, Dr. Visser 't Hooft says, have their "rele vance in the local congrega tion, in the common worship, and the working and living together of individual Chris tian men and women." Chris tians often ask "how they can play their part in this new ecumenical movement of our time. Here is one oppor tunity." "As your congregation takes up the study and discussion of themes of this booklet, you will implement your member ship in a ' world-embracing I community of the people to God," Dr. Visser 't Hooft says.
