Church Joins In World Communion
By J. Allen Beeler
The World Council of
Churches (WCC) is coor
dinating a World Wide
Communion for the first
Sunday of October on Oc
tober 3. Participating in the
WCC’s Communion will be
thousands of denominations
from over a hundred
nations. When these
denominations represented
in human terms they mean
that, there will be around a
half billion individuals
participating in the Com
munion.
-The members of the First
Presbyterian Church in
Eden ton will be among the
Communicants for the
World Wide Communion.
The members of the local
Presbyterian Church take
special pride in their con
nections with Christians
around the world. The
minister, Rev. Mallinson,
and his wife had just
returned from a world wide
trip when he received the
call to come to the Edenton
church and several other
members of the church are
actively involved with
Christians on a global level.
Mallinson expressed that
the Communion is an
example of the “...oneness
we have with each other as
Christians; with Christ at
the head of the Church.”
Mallinson and the church
have been receiving letters

Loans are subject to approved credit
from all parts of the globe to
renew and to strengthen the
bonds that have existed for
some time with other
Christians in the world.
Tai Ting Chi, a Christian
in the People’s Republic of
China, wrote to the Edenton
church, “I am very glad to
see you and other loved ones
together around the table of
our Lord and face to face
with your worship, our Lord,
in the church in Edenton.”
The same spirit of oneness
comes from Sri Lanka
where Susan and Anne the
family of a missionary when
they wrote, “May we take
this opportunity to greet all
the members of the Church.
Jesus is Lord and Savior to
us and He is the same
yesterday, today and
forever.”
Many of those who wrote
letters to the First
Presbyterian Church had a
special message to send to
all Christians. Guien, a
Christian from Australia,
wrote “The message I want
to send to Christians is to let
your Faith uphold you and
make you strong so that you
never let another human
being suffer, whatever his
color or creed, for the want
of the help you can give.”
Sabine Friedrid a
seminary student in West
Germany sends the
following thoughts,“We
hope that it will be possible,
that we get peace all over
the world. We all should
help, that this wish will
become true. We should
have peace with our neigh
bors, friends, kids, parents,
brothers and so 0n..."
R.D. McCall and his wife
from-the Republic of China
wrote to remind the
members of the First
Presbyterian Church what
the World Communion is all
about. They write, “As we
celebrate our Lord’s death
and resurrection on World
Communion Sunday we are
thankful for brothers and
sisters - such as you - in our
Lord’s Church around his
world. We count on your
remembering us in prayer
for the believers world -
wide, and for the outreach
and service which all of us
have in our Lord’s name.”
From these letters the
message of World Wide
Communion Sunday can be
heard. It is a time to
remember that to be a
Christian is to have a pur
pose in the lives of in
dividuals, countries, and the
world. It is also a call to
action that the world may
see the Christian Church is
more than just a safe haven
for the chosen few.
People once believed that
if their palmi itched they
would receive money.
THE CHOWAN HERALD:
Methodist
Bishop William Ragsdale

Methodist preachers, Jesse
Lee and Edward
Dromgoole. First United
Methodist Church was
founded during this visit,
organized by Francis
Asbury in 1804, and became
a station appointment in
1828, thus becoming the first
Methodist Church founded
in Pasquotank County.
Kittrell in Gates County was
founded in 1781, prior to the
circuit riders coming to
Elizabeth City. Union
