Elders Wright and Push will address special meetings (or priesthood and missionary lead ers on Saturdav. a tough-minded pastor with a rare capacity for viewing his! own parish with detachment. His parish is St. John's Episco pal Church in Waynesboro, Va. To an outsider, ii looks extreme ly successful. It has 550 baptized members and 400 communicants on its rolls. Attendance at wor ship is so heavy that three scrv-i ices have to be scheduled each Sunday morning. The Sunday School is overflowing with chil dren. Parish organizations are bustling with activity. But the Rev. Mr. Fracher ionked beneath the surface of in stitutional success. He saw a par ish which had grown so large that many of the members didn't even know one another. People could get sick or die w ithout their neighbors hearing about it in time to show their concern. It was a far cry from the New i Testament concept of the church jas a close - knit fellowship in 'which each member gave and received love, acceptance and understanding. Problem Is Common Thousands of other American parishes have Ihe same problem Some of them have tried to over- ome it bv holding "coffee hours' after services, or bv including social unctions in the parish pro-! gram, or by setting up nrganiza tions to promote fellowship. The Rev. Mr. Fracher decided that his parish already had plenty of organizations, and that what it really needed was a lit tle "disorganization" or decentral ization. He told this idea to his vestry, and last May the parish was divided into 12 "zones." each containing from 20 to 25 families.

The August meeting will be dispensed of and the group will meet in September with Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Wills for a lamb barbecue. Couples enjoying the fellowship were Mr. and Mrs. Norman Ja cob, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Wills, Mr. and Mrs. James Lacy, the Rev. and Mrs. Ethan Whitman Mr. and Mrs. Hab Wilson, Mr, and Mrs. Philip Blohm, and the hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Gerry Brown. Every few weeks, the families in a particular zone meet nt someone's home to worship to gether, get better acquainted and talk over the affairs of the par ish. Members Enthusiastic The members of the parish arc enthusiastic about I lie zone sys tem. They no longer feel like strangers to one another. They find that communication in the parish is not a one-way affair. Through the zone meetings, every back-bencher has a chance to speak his piece about parish policies, instead of waiting to be told what the rector and vestry have decided. But the most important result of Ihe zone system, in the eyes of the pastor, is that it has made St. John's parishioners aware that "the church is not bricks The .lin-mile lone San Joaauin and stained glass windows - the , faiir,.ni is ,, nf lhe HELSINKI (UPP-A Lutheran study group has asked that t h e church learn more about the oth er fellow in particular, the Ro man Catholic. A commission that has been working since 1959 urges forma tion of a "Lutheran foundation for inter-confessional research," with an initial appropriation of about $24,000. The foundation would be locat ed near Geneva in an area which would give it a chance to study Catholicism, according to the re port, which was read recently to delegates attending the Lutheran World Federation's fourth assem bly. Tile move, which has the sup- port ol inllucnual churchmen, is in part a response to feelers put forth by the Vatican under the direction of the late Pope John XXIII. But the report said Lu therans had begun discussing a similar idea as far back as 1957. The "dialogue" with the Catho lic Church "reached a pitch of special intensity during the sec ond Vatican Council, said the re port submitted by Bishop ,1. Dietz- felbinger of Munich, director of the "commission for inter-confes sional research." "We do not want to lalk pre maturely or jump to conclusions about a reunion of Christendom, a concept with which very unclear ideas can be associated," the re port said. "The mere fact of the new dia logue is in itself important enough. The proposed inter-confessional institute, however, would be a permanent body, supported by the Lutheran churches, but not neces sarily a part of the Lutheran World Federation. Nomran E.
