Rev. Leroy Trexler
Gives Report On
Church Meeting
An opportunity which comes
only once-in-a-lifetime has just
been offered the clergy of this
country. It was the chance to
attend one of the Ecumenical In
stitutes held in the Chicago area
just prior to the opening of the
World Council of Churches on
August 15. Churchmen from all
over the world, assembled here
for the second assembly of the
World Council of Churches, par
ticipated in these Institutes. These
Institutes met simultaneously on
six campuses of the Chicago area
for two periods of a week each,
August 2-14. Two pastors from
Cherryville attended the second
week. Rev. Walter R. Kelly, of
the First Methodist Church and
Rev. Leroy C. Trexler of St.
John’s Lutheran. They stayed on
the camtpus of the University of
Chicago. A grand total of 1500
were registered for this second
week at all six centers.
The lectures on the University
of Chicago camipus were sponsor
ed by the Federation of Theolo
gical Schools, which include the
Disciples Divinity House, Chicago
Theological Seminary, the Divin
ity School, and Meadville Theolo
gical School. The Disciples Church
on the University Campus, served
as the site for the lectures. The
first lectures heard each morning
was a fat, jovial, naming rrencn
man, with a thick, stubby mus
tache, Pierre Maury, who is a past
president of the Reformed Church
of France. He set forth the Cal
vanistic teaching on “PREDES
TINATION”. The second speaker,
a kindly and gentle man with a
wonderful command of the Eng
lish language, Dr. Hendrick Krae
mer, is from the Reformed
Church of Holland, but at present
is director of the Ecumenical In
stitute in Bossey, Switzerland.
His first two lectures were on the
Bible, Its Uniqueness, and Its
Relevance. He pointed out that it
is only as we return to the Bible
that we can learn our situation
today, and the calling before the
Church. The remainder of his
time was devoted to “THE LAY
ISSUE”. Laity, he said, means
“people of God.” There is a min
istry of the clergy and a ministry
of the laity. Both are a part of
God's continuing ministry to the
world. The laity must be made
conscious of being called and sent
into the world of God, he stated.
Dignilied, eloquent, and scholarly,
Dr. S. L. Greenslade. Anglican
Canon af Durham Cathedral in
England, was the concluding
morning speaker. He traced some
crises of Christian unity and gave
somthing of their historical set
ting. The crisis he discussed were
the early! theresies, the schism of
1054, and the reformation schism.
He concluded that schisms or di
visions are right only if there is
a threat to the central doctrine
and the threat can be remedied
in on other way. We should al
ways be sure that the evils against
which we protest are greater than
the evil of disunity.
Other lecturers heard during (
the week included M. M. Thomas,
vice-chairman of the World’s Stu
dent Christian Federation, and a
member of the historic Mar Tho
ma Church, of Malabar, India;
Lesslie Newbigin, a bishop in the
Church of South India, whose la
test contributions to the Ecumen
ical movement, HOUSEHOLD OF
GOD, is a recent Religious Book
Club selection; and Reinhold con
Thadden. a German layman. Dr.
von Thadden is the founder of the
famous Kirchentag in Germany,
which brought 66(Lt)00 Christians
together in July at Leipzig, Ger
many, behind the Iron Curtain.
He is a sick man, haying under
cone eight throat operations since
the war. He said .that the chief
task in the next decade is to make
manifest the existence of the
Chrittian community. The world
today needs to know how to live
together. Who else but the Church
is fitted to show the world a spirit
of unity and cooperation? He con
cluded by saying, “We must not
sit waiting in an escatalogical
sitting r^m. Me must work while
it is sti y”. On Wlednesday ev
ening, a. the Chicago Lutheran
Seminary, the Summer gradua
tion service was held, with a Pres
byterian missionary the chief
speaker, Dr. Samuel Hugh Mof
fett, who has recently returned
from China, where he was intern
ed by the Communists. He spoke
of the zeal and evangelistic fer
vor of the communists — 2,000,
000 communist missionaries are
at work today to win China for
