E., met in r Washington recently and marked a major effort in j bringing the three I together. They received : and accepted a booklet, known as Liberation and Unity, which will be used by the three in the 1976 Lenten celebration. The booklet was prepared by leaders of the three denominations and contains meditations that will be used from Ash Wednesday, March 3, to Easter Sunday, April 18. This means that the three will observe the season the same way. Black Theology as it relates to the period, 1969-75, by the Theological Commission of the National Conference of ulack Christians, is treated by Dr. J. Deotis Roberts, Professor of Theology and editor of the Journal of Religious Thought, Howard University's School of Religion. Dr. J. H.

MM AN mil tOCIITY CHICAOO, IlllNOIS 033 "WHAT IS A CHURCH" Do you know lh.it most iwoplt. oven tin- qriMt nwioritv of religious people do not t'vi'n know wliat a Church is? Ask thp average man on the street what a church is and he will probablv reply: " A church' Well anybody knows that1 A church is a building where people 90 to worship1" But this is not correct. The word translated church" in our Bibles Simply means assenJ)ly so a church is not a building but Hie asseiiAly of ix-oplt; who meet '"the building. And a church is not necessarily a gathering of worship pers The riotous mob that had gath ered at Ephesus in Paul's day is -Mlled a "church" iGr ekkesia in Acts 19:32. and tins passage states that this assembly or church was confused and most of them did not know wherefore they were come togellM't." So a church is simply an assembly not a building. The church of which the Bible has most to say is "the Church of God which He hath purchased with His own blood" (Acts 20:28). St. Paul calls this church, again and again "the Body of Christ." or "the Church which is His Body. " We do not join this Church by water baptism or any other religious rite vve Oin it by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ Referring to believers in Christ Paul declares: "By one Spirit are we all baptized into one Bixly " il Cor. 12:13). and in Rom. 12:5 he says "Ye being many are one Body in Clrist.
