Churchmen Seek Unity
FAITH AND ORDER CONFERENCE Great Gathering at Lausanne A THOUSAND churchmen are attending the Great Faith and Order Conference at Lausanne, which is striving to bring true the dream of Christianity, to have a united church.
Reed. 12.17 p.m. LAUSANNE, Wed. A THOUSAND clergy and laymen, including the Dominions’ delegates, went in procession bareheaded from Lausanne Cathedral to Rumine P*alace, for the opening of the Faith and Order Conference, at which 90 national churches are represented. The only Christian religion not represented is the Roman Catholic. The conference aims at bringing the world nearer to Christianity’s dream of a unified Christian Church. Bishop Brent, of Western New York,
who is a Canadian, opened the conference, declaring that it was imperative that Christendom should set its house in order and obtain unity of the various sects before it further infects the Eastern world with sectarianism. “The hundred missionary societies in China to-day,” he said, “are suicidal for Christianity. The result of the existing divisions is uneven. Fifty per cent, of the populations profess Christianity; we are here to protest against disunion.” —A. and N.Z.
