“CHRISTIANS MAY LAWFULLY WAGE WAR”
PRESBYTERIAN RULING Press Association DUNEDIN, Tuesday. The Dunedin Presbytery was engaged for some time to-day discussing the peace manifesto which has been tentatively approved by General Assembly and has been submitted to various presbyteries for consideration. Dr. Merrington, in submitting the report of the public questions committee, said if the peace manifesto was finally adopted by the assembly it became a practical expression of the trine of the Church. It was important question and represented the doctrine of the Church, tl was important that the Church should be as unanimous as possible in its declarations regarding its future attitude to peace and war. A movement in favour of peace was growing in strength and the Church was solidly behind it. The speaker submitted clause one of the report of the public questions committee and moved its adoption after it had been amended as follows Professor Dickie: “Express general approval of the peace manifesto, while safeguarding the historical position of our Church as expressed in our standards, that Christians may lawfully wage war on just and necessary occasions.”
Other clauses of a more or less formal nature, some being slightly amended, were adopted.
