The Archbishop of Canterbury, addressing 300 l'rotestant, leaders under the auspices of the World Council oi Cluirches, said unity in the world 's Christian ehurehes should lie sought not as one church under a single eonslitution but as a series of churchos in tui! communion like the Anglican ehurehes througliout the world. l)r. Fisher, without. meiitioniiig tlie proposed nierger of Protestant and episcopal Presbyterian cliurclies of Caited States. adiled that it would be most dillicult for two ehurehes to agree on one constitution, partieularly episi-opal and non-episcopal deiioininalions. The World Council of Cluirches was slill in the formative stage but should become the voice of Christian eonscionce. i)r Fisher regretted that the Roman Catholie cluircli was not a nieniber oi' tlie eouneil and also the Russian orthodox eluireh, liecause when tlie eouneil was lieing fornied bel'ore the war, there was an iron curtain between Moseow and tlie rest of the world.
