What Has the Church to Say?
HE Second Assembly of the World Council of Churches will convene at Evanston, Illinois, U.S.A. on August 16, and as a background to the Assembly the NZBS will broadcast during preceding weeks a series of special programmes. Four of these will have the
general title "What Has the Church to Say?" In the first, to be heard from YA and YZ stations at 9.15 pm. on Monday, July 26, Harold Miller, Librarian at. Victoria University College, will discuss "What has the Church’ to Say About Social QOuestions2" ‘Taking
the «view that the Church is the author of Western civilisation but that its civilising work is a kind of by-product, Mr. Miller will look at the history of the Chirch in an attempt to draw some conclusions about its historic social and political role. He will hold that the mission of the Church is to make good men-a special kind of good men-and that this has social results of great importance.
On August 2 the Very Rev. J. G. Laughton, Superintendent of Maori Missions in the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, will take up the question, "What has the Church to Say About Race and Colour?"; and on August 9 C. G. Burton, President of the Wellington branch of the United Nations Association, will discuss, "What has the Church to Say About International Affairs?" The Sunday evening talk on August 15 will also be devoted to the work of the Assembly. It will! be recorded by the Bishop of Chichester, the Rt. Rev. G. K. A. Bell, a vicepresident of the World Council of Churches, who will already be in America when the talk is heard. All these broadcasts will be from YA and YZ stations. Question Mark, to be heard from YA stations only on August 16-the day the Assembly meets-will attempt to answer the question, "What has the Church to Say About Its Own Disunity?" Members of the panel for this discussion will be an Anglican, a Methodist and a Presbyterian-Mrs. TT. L. Fancourt (Palrerston North) and Mrs. A. B. Cochran and Charles Cameron (Wellington).
