Co-Operative Religion
By Rev. W. F. Beadle.
Prophesies are still extant. The
writer will be bold enough to make
one in the face of much slanty op
position.
Highlands, N. C., will have but
one church. It will not be named
by any of the present churches. It
will be of the people, for the com
munity and for God. I say this
knowing that it might mean min
isterial suicide.
My reasons are these:
The constituents of the various
churches have not enough denomi
national conviction and rightly so.
What is too present is too much
denominational prejudice. The
parishoners possess friendly Godli
ness which runs counter to the ad
herence of religious restrictions in
regard to segregation.
The authorities of the various
churches are adhering to teir re
ligion? obligations by keeping not
alive but open the few places of
worship that have bren by tradi
tionalism “opened” through the
years.
The livelihood of the many min
isters is- not sufficient to keep his
head embowed in the face of his
many creditors. To ■ live on less
brings a condemnation on “that is
our minister,” which eventually
becomes so overwhelming that
even religious < convictions wane
and waver.
. The annual festival of figures
of the consummation of all the
pastors report show no substantia
tial increase in such localities but
a holding on, alone that, thank God
such a hold is fast losing its grip,
and soon a curch member will be
able to invite a visitor to attend
the community church where even
new members will be welcomed
without an anathema of religious
jealousy.
Finally it will be an answer to
Christ’s own prayer, a pride of a
united community and a step to*
ward our expected religious
Utopia. W. F. Beadle.
