Wednesday, October 12, 1966 Page 4 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Outmoded 1 ister War On NEW YORK (UPI) One of the ' most controversial mis sionary leaders among Prot estants has declared war on denominational independence and competition. The Rev. Dr. Truman B. Douglass, executive vice-president of the Board of Home land Ministries of the United Church of Christ, says to day's church organization is "based on conditions outmod ed a generation ago." His own denomination was formed nine years ago by the union of the Congregational Christian Churches the earliest New England settlers and the Evangelical and Reformed Church those who came from the middle Euro pean countries in the 18th century. "Technological develop ments and social issues have outrun the obsolete organiza-' tion of American churches," says Dr. Douglass. Denominations operate in dependently, he argues, "on the dubious assumption that people care about distinctions in creeds and church practives when churhes are faed with issues of suh staggering di mensions that no single church body can hope to solve, any of them by itself" . . ; "PROVINCIALISM" ' 2 Dr. Douglass, who in the past has critized Protestant "provincialism" and "its chronic moralism," is cur-, rently campaigning for an immediate union ot the home missionary agencies of major Protestant denominations. He says he does not. want to wait until all the details' of total merger can be settled. . "Racial justice, slum popu lations, churches for new com munities, publishing of new religious books, better teach ing in Sunday schools, ex plaining religion to college: students, education of mini-; sters and help yforC the aged!?: are areas in which no ., de- nomination has Line resources to work alone,' Khe say's., "These tasks must be - under- j, taken jointly." , " ; Under, ibia leadership, thel United 'Church df "Christ hag adopted a policy that its new missionary programs must be cooperative efforts with other denominations.

These include, he says, a united campus ministry to the nation's college students, joint publishing ventures, placing ministers on the Strip at Las Vegas, churches in shopping areas, and organizing mini sters and specialists to serve such "neglected groups as dope addicts and homosex uals." One of the most significant such experimental ministries include efforts to rehabilitate Negro ghettos. Joint work now is going on in Kansas City, St. Louis, New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, Boston, Los Ange les, Cleveland and Rochester, n: y. UNPROFITABLE "These projects are ecclesi astically unprofitable, but es sential, if the church is to ful fill the mission entrusted to it by .Christ to serve the world," Dr. Dougless observes. He is a member of the dele gation to the Consulation on Church Union.-merger talks being conducted with the Epis-, copal, M e t h b d i s t, United Presbyterian, Disciple and oth-: : cr churches. The . United Church leader is impatient,, however, at what he calls the ' slow pace and urges Protest tants to abandon old theology cal quarrels, ; "over issues which few of us. today underT stand and even v fewer care about."

' "No other fact of church life has so crippling an effect upon the Church's prosecution of its mission as the fact of our disunity," Dr. Douglass says. "I suggest that the way to get the ; ecumenical move ment off dead center is to re turn it to 'the missionary movement which gave it its -original -impetus.' - - GripeSession ,y ,A student "Gripe - In" has vbeen scheduled at 9 p.m. Thursday in Morrison College. vO Any student with a com ;plaint about classes, houses, Iprofessors, student gov Vernment, social activities 'y anything is invited to at tend and join in the discussion ' which is sponsored by the Academic Board of Morrison.

It was when Pierse L'En- fant, the French-born archi- tect who laid out the city, put it on his map. Then it was call- ,ed Pacific Circle. The old society belt is scra wny now, -perhaps best por trayed by two newspaper pa ragraphs from the Washington 'Post; . In 1933: "DuPont Circle, the capital's fashionable quar ter, is agiow this, week with the soft lights that tell the pas- i serbv in i the snow outside cf wonderful, dinner parties and balls and pay goings on to which only the socially elite are eligible.

Who else would get rocks instead of goodies in his trick-or-treat hag? Who else would be the unwitting model for the neighborhood's jack-o'-lantern? Who else would fall for the same old football trick for the umpteenth time? Good gried, nobody but Char lie Brown. Meanwhile, back at the pumpkin patch, Linus pre pares for his annual Great Pumpkin vigil, awaiting the arrival of that legendary, fig ure who flies through the Halloween night bringing toys to good little children every where. So far, Linus has ne ver seen the Pumpkin and neither has anybody else but his faith survives the ri dicule of his playmates and he persuades Sally to join him in the suspenseful watch. The rest of the gang are busy planning and making Barn Theater Will Present 'Gigi' Today 'Gigi," the famous French comedy with music, . is the fifth monthly offering at the Raleigh - Durham Barn Din ner Theatre. The two - act show will open for its four - week run at the Barn Theatre tonight.
