Peter fteaberich Pantor St. Boniface Church Each year in January, for many decades, Roman Cath olics have offered eight days of prayer for Church Unity. Until 1959, the general idea behind those day* of prayer, January 18-25, was the hnpe that Prpbestants /St^rn. to the one true CMireh-hM) that the Orthofld*'' Schism would end, Throughout those same decades, PflQ&wthnts became more andS-more en- volved in what had ‘cqpie to be called the “ecumenical movement.” The develop ment of the World Cpuncjl of Churches, the growth of na tional and world-wide group ing of Protestant churches, the merger of churches — all these expressed a groping for unity. The Roman Catho lic Church remained aloof There were Catholic centers of study in Europe that watched developments, but, in general, the church watched and prayed without joining in the dialogue and prayer of the protestant Churches, then came John XXIII. . > V On that day' Pppe John declared that he wanted “an Ecumenical Council for the whole Church ’* He said it would be “Not only for the spiritual good and joy of the Christian people:’ He desired “to invite the '/ separated Communities to seek again that unity for which so many souls are lonigng i« these days throughout the world.” Did he mean he would ask Protestants and Orthodox* to sit down together with the world’s Catholic Bjshopa,- to discuss how they could over come their divisions? It was not that simple, not „ that Alan Cook To Present * Organ Recital Items of Interest From ... West Clinton MRS. CLIFyOtf pEATON w sfects and that which did ex ist wns not .very stimulating. Before the advent of "Vati can II, who would have thought that a lutheran Min ister and Catholic Priest would exchange pulpits. Nor would one have any idea of calling a meeting of; all the major this country — this happened in Columbus, Ohio this Sep tember. Nor would a Catho lic bishop be meeting with the leaders of the Presbyter ian Church. Nor would we have seen the members of the Catholic and Episcopal Church meeting to discuss the vows of matrimony. All this would not be taking place if John had not made fhat earth-shattering an nouncement. It seems rather ironical that we are going through a great period of “reforma tion,” but, this seems to be in reverse of the great one of the sixteenth century. Just as Martin Luther was speaking in a unified church against the abuses that existed at the time, so are the members of the union-seeking churches against abuses created by society. As the students of history know, Luther spoke against evils that existed in his time, he spoke from within a unified church. It was not his desire to bring Obout a separation, he want ed a more unified church free from the interfering hand of the state. The cen turies between the “Reforr mations’ have brought about many difficulties, some caused by the churches and others caused by men, it is these that are being attemp ted to overcome. Pope John, under divine guidance, called the council into session, he had one thing in mind and that was that there should be unity among men and churches. In order to bring about this unity, the Catholic Church is “reform ing’> her mode of worship and action. For centuries there was not any change in the liturgical discipline, but from 1954 there has been a The Departmppt of Music )f Pfesbyteriap College an- loyncas Abu?

Protest ant and Orthodox parches, he had them seated in St. Peter’s across the 4usle from the cardinals;-he Established e Secretariat for' Prpmoting Christian Unity that would be at the service of the observ ers. On that memorable day of January 25, 1959 Whan John XXIII announced that he was going to call an ecumenical council many people believed that great Theological and Doctrinal declarations would come forth from the council as came forth from that great council in the sixteenth century, the Council of Trent. The council has ended and as yet, there has not been any . great decree and we do not expect, *ahy sych, for in all practical > ? ; inatters this council has got bepp one dealing with matters of Faith and Morals. This council was one concerned with 171 alters of discipline and liturgy.* So the people of God who expected great and* special concessions on either side have been disappointed. It certainly is true, that ther* are many in the various sects that want an immedi ate union, but such has not been the case. There has not been any great change as a result of the council, but, as some one has said recently, because of it the various de nominations are at least speaking with one another Before the Vatican Council there was very little official communication between the acceptable and understand able to the people. In this re gard we can say with the Lutheran scholar, Dr. Jaros- lav Pelikan, that Luther as pired the Catholic substance, which was later Idst and now seeks to recover and a Prot estant principle of reform, which Catholocism had lost and is now reclaiming. We in the 20th century jure undergoing a spiritual refor mation, very much similiar as did those in the 11th and 16th centuries only we are not undergoing any violent militant revolt; we are in the beginnings of a unifying peaceful consolidation. We in this generation have planted the seed—others will gather the harvest. Llitherans To Meet The St. John’s Lutheran Church will hold a business meeting of the congregation immediately following th0 service next Sunday morning for the purpose of naming three persons to membership on the Church council, the official board of the congre gation.

America, according to an ar ticle in a Roman Catholic quarterly “The Living Light.” “Catholic religious educa tion has received from the LCA curriculum both the in centive and the blueprint for developing the kind of curri culum which members of Catholic parishes from chil dren to adults deserve,” The >NICLE THE OjpRO? office SUPPLIES FftOlfK 9*95*1 writes in the quarterly pub lished by the National Center for the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. “A Christian church of 3,200,000 numbers has shown all Christian denominations what they will do if they are serious about their responsi bility to hand on the Faith as intelligently, comprehensive ly, and meaningfully as pos sible,” he writes. In the article, “What Cath olic Religious Education Can Learn from the ‘Long-Range Program of Parish Educa tion’ of the Lutheran Church in America,” he says the LCA description of its curri culum as the “most compre hensive curriculum for Chris tian Education ever publish ed” is fact. Father Schaefer points out that the LCA program con sists of more than 500 major educational aids-filmstrips/, records, organizational man uals, reading books, teacher’s guides, workbooks, charts— produced by teams of reli gious educators, theologians, church school teachers, psy chologists, artists, biblical scholars, pastors and sociol ogists working over the past 10 years.
