AN EXPERIMENT IN UNITY
April 13, 1933
Twenty-five years ago was begun an experiment which has been characterized as a "new epoch in Protestant history." For nearly four hundred years the trend had been in the direction of multiplying denominations and accentuating difference in polity or creed. The organization of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America was a face-about from isolated denominationalism. No surrender of creed is involved on the part of any one of the more than a score of denominations with a present communicant membership of more than twenty-two million. This is rather a union in deed—in behalf of causes and activities which they can unitedly support. There has been found to be enough unity in the great central things for which these several denominations stand to give common ground for action.
The movement is not an effort to create unity but a recognition and expression of a unity that already exists. There is good reason to expect that from this acting together advance, will be made to a greater measure of fellowship in things of the spirit as well as cooperation in the "temporalities" which are incidental to spiritual enlargement — the practical ideas of daily life. And while it is a federation of Protestant churches, it has been also "a bridge", between them and the Catholic Church on the one hand and the Synagogue on the other, cultivating a breadth of sympathy for these great religious bodies and fostering an attitude of mutual respect and good-will among the diverse groups.
One of the stated purposes of the Council was to secure a larger combined influence for the Churches of Christ in all matters affecting the moral and social conditions of the people. Especially has it given voice to the desire for peace on earth and in support of international cooperation for promoting it. But more important than any of the concrete programs of work which the Federal Council has carried out is the fact that the Council is itself a demonstration of the spirit of unity. In its own fellowship and in its relation¬ships with other bodies it has shown that the churches are not sectarian and separatist in spirit, but can and will work together in a great common cause.—Reprinted by permission The New York Times.
