UNION OF CHURCHES
Study Of Plan Urged Presbyterian sessions and congregations within the Christchurch Presbytery were urged last evening to approach the proposed plan for church union with an open mind and to make a careful study of it. At the monthly meeting of the presbytery, the Rev. N. E. Campbell, convener of the presbytery’s ecumenical and church union committee, said that Presbyterians owed it to their church and to the Joint Commission for Church Union to study the plan carefully. He also asked that the sessions and congregations arrange discussion with the other negotiating churches in the area and that the district courts of these churches be informed of the meetings. The presbytery agreed that a letter be sent to the joint commission thanking the members for the work they had put into preparing the plan.
