CHURCH UNION.
NEW STAGE REACHED. (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) LONDON, October 7. A new stage in the long progress toward Christian reunion was. reached yesterday at Cheltenham, when Archbishop Germanos, of the Greek Orthodox Church, stood witlj two of the foremost members of the German and Danish Lutheran Churches and representatives of five of the British Free Churches on the platform of the Church Congress. The depth of the understanding revealed by their addresses drew from Dr. A. C. Headlam, Bishop of Gloucester, the remark that what he had seen and heard . encouraged the hope that something might,be accomplished In the future in the direction of reunion. "We do not want," he said, "to make a pact with this or that Church. We aie not as yet ready, but if we consider the subjects uppermost to-day we must realise the immense gain it will be w hen we are allowed to hear men of other creeds in our pulpits, and when we eta preach to them."
