CHURCH UNITY.
COMMON GROUND FOR ’WORSHIP IN AMERICA.
APPEAL BY PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL BISHOPS.
(Australian Prese Assn.) (United Service.).
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. . “If Catholic and Protestant cannot find a way to live together ahd worship together the one Lord, they both adore, then our faith is in vain and we live in our sin,” said the Pastoral Letter of the Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church, issued to-day, stressing the ■ need for finding a common ground for worship for all in America and throughout the entire Anglican communion. . “There is a sense of strain,” declared the Rt. Rev. Edward Parsons, Bishop of California, heading the letter. “One group seeks a fuller measure of what it counts Catholic; while another group is sick at Heart. At least some of those great values gained in the Reformation .are lost. The most momentous task facing the world to-day is war against war. /It is not the business of the Christian’ Church to control Governments, but it is the business of the Church .to speak in no uncertain way, and put moral force behind its efforts 'for peace and a law-governed world. Christ summons us to world unity as well as church unity.” , »
