WORLD UNITY
Common Ground for Worship AMERICAN BISHOPS’ PLEA (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (United Service) WASHINGTON, Thursday. “If Catholics and Protestants cannot find a way to live together and worship together the one Lord they both adore, then our faith is in vain. We live in our sin.” A pastoral letter issued to-day by the bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America stresses the need for finding a common ground for worship for all. “In America and throughout the entire Anglican Communion there is a sense of strain,” said Dr. Edward Parsons, Bishop of California, whose name heads the letter. “One group seeks a fuller measure of what it counts catholic. Another group is sick at heart lest some of those great values gained in the Reformation may be lost. “The most momentous task facing the world to-day is the war against war. It is not the business of the Christian Church to control Governments, but the business of the Church is to speak in no uncertain way, and to put moral force behind the efforts for peace and for a law-governed world. “Christ summons us to world unity, as well as to Church unity.”
