Church Unity at Home And Abroad
Said Dr. Gordon A. Sisco, general secretary of the United Church of Canada: "The movement towards church union in the Far East, the rise of union churches in China, India, and Japan, make our Protestant denominational type of foreign-missionary propaganda and administration progressively obsolete. The multiplicity of denominational churches in the rural villages and the areas of the U.S. and Canada and the rapid rise of perfectionist sects to complicate.the picture is the scandal of Christianity." Ecumenical conferences are like convoys; they move at the speed of the slowest sect. So on one major issue Toronto found no agreement: war. The Canadian churchmen unanimously backed their country’s stand. The Americans were split between isolationists and interventionists. But a clear majority of the Americans present agreed with Interventionist Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr: " We as a nation cannot afford a Hitler victory, either politically or morally." And most of those who did not favour the U.S. going to war indicated that they would support their country if and when it did.
