division, especially religious divi-
sion, Dickey brings a rebuke and
a hope to the diverse audience
here:
We have cried out against the
sin of sectarianism, and we
have come now to do so from
several sectarian positions.
Never has the world so des-
perately needed the tonic of
seeing people live together in
a unity that is deeper than
diversity. Is Jesus Christ big
enough to create a fellowship
among ‘Disciples' and ‘inde-
pendents,’ ’Instrumentalists’
and *non-Instrumentalists?*
He is. And more than that,
He can again bring hope to a
world on the verge of final
fragmentation .by loving it
through a people who care.

Full-time worker
one of goals
of English church
READING, England—The
23-member church here in Read-
ing has established two long
range goals: to ■ get .a full-time
worker and to get their own
church building.
The congregation shares their
rented hall on Sundays with a
Pentecostal sect. Members feel
that owning their meeting place
would reduce the high cost of
rent. %
Although membership is grow-
ing, it is due to the arrival of
members of other towns, many of
them American servicemen’s
families, said Miss Rose M.
Payne, a member at the Reading
church. Contribution is good,
but not adequate for the two
main projects, she said.
"The majority of members do
not live in the town, and some
> of them travel for one and a half
hours to get here," added Miss
> Payne. “Partly due to this, there
js only one service a week still.
All of the participants in this The original, few members who

on several basic points: the

lize, being mainly women or

of Christ is the answer to the
desperate need of our frag-
mented civilization; Christians
should unite to make the Gospel
real in the lives of all men,
whatever their nation, race, or
class. But there is considerable
diversity here with regard to
what constitutes the Gospel.
In the concluding article on
this eighth assembly in the next
issue of the Christian Chronicle,
we will explore the various view-
points expressed here in Ade-
laide by Restoration Move-
ment representatives from
around the world.
(To be concluded next week.)

McCallister feels the
world’s sickly pulse: “A depres-
sing variety of gaps separates us
one from the other. We have a
way of talking past each other
rather than to or with each
other." He also notes the preva-
lence of mistrust, belligerence,
and violence.
McCallister decries the “ex-
planations very much in vogue
today" which “leave out the
moral factor and overlook man’s
sin." He notes that even “some
of our religious leaders are so
taken by contemporary human
culture that they forget (he ten-
sion that prevails between God
and the world. One gets the im-
pression that ever since God
read Spock, He has gone per-
missive.”

Likening modern man to those
who tried to build the Tower of
Babel, McCallister says, “We are
confounded, frustrated, and di-
vided." He adds, “Given our
sin we would be this way if
there were no population explo-
sion; if there were no techno-
logical revolution; if there were
no Communism." Noting the
busy-ness, hypocrisy, and nomi-
nal church membership of too
many, McCallister calls for a
dynamic discipleship with out-
reach and sacrifice.

problem in much of to-
day’s society. It is often
tragically exaggerated.
Essentially, this assembly seeks
to discover how much barriers
can be removed. I
Douglas Dickey, campus min-
ister at Purdue University, in a
major address here has noted the. J
paradox that while man “des-
perately needs social groupings
to survive,” such groups tend to
“polarize against other groups
and become ^exclusive and ex-
plosive." I
DICKEY AGREES with Rob-
ert Frost: “Something there is (
that doesn’t love a wall," but ,
Dickey observes also that “there ,
is something in us that does love
a wall, because walls can mean
security and self-identity." Pro-
claiming that Jesus Christ himself
brings the “good nevi’s about
community,” Dickey believes
that “all human efforts at pulling
the people of the planet to-
gether have foundered on the
reefs of national, political, ideol-
ogical, social, and cultural dif-
ferences." - *
. Dickey’s experience as a cam-
pus minister has convinced him
that the most profound desire
among young men and women
is not “for sex, drugs, and po-
litical revolution as such, but for
an authentic experience of com- minister of the Webster Groves
munity." Dickey lauds the gath- Christian Church in Missouri,
ering here in Adelaide because believes that “the world is under
it brings together “people who divine judgment.” Tersely, he
care about community.” states, “Simply put, we are suf- tence. He goes on subsisting
Deploring the sinfulness of all fering for our sins.” under terrifying social pres-
sures . . . preoccupied with his
global spree-for-all of blood-
shed and blight, uptight in his
sinful predicament.” Then See
• adds the tragic irony that in
Jesus Christ “man is loved of
God and he doesn’t know it!"
