CHRISTIAN UNITY
NEW OUTLOOK NEEDED
APPEAL OF LAMBETH CONFERENCE
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPTRISHT.)
(REUTERS TELEGRAM.) (Received August 13, 11 a.m.)
LONDON, 12th August.
The Lambeth Conference, which has sat in private . throughout, has now issued a voluminous report of its proceedings. It shows that eighty resolutions were adopted, dealing with religious and social problems. The most important of them embodied an appeal to all Christian people on the subject of the reunion of Christendom. The appeal, which was adopted practically unanimously, urges that Christianity should be manifested in united fellowship. The appeal emphasises that the causes of division lie deep in the past, while the present calls to a new outlook and new 'measures, and demands a- reunited Catholic Church. The appeal visualises a Church in which tho divided heritage of the past will be possessed by tho whole in common. It suggests, that the basis of the United Church should be the acceptance of the Holy Scriptures, the Nicuno Creed, baptism, the Holy Communion, and a commonly acknowledged ministry, and claims the Episcopate as one means for providing such a ministry.
