TRAGEDY OF TO-DAY
NO RELIGION IN BUSINESS BISHOP URGES CHURCH UNION Sydney, Feb. 5. “The tragedy of to-day is that few public men have any religion,” stated Bishop Moyes, of Armidale, in a survey of the international round table conference of Christian leaders, which he attended last year in the United States. “Also we hase businessmen who are always telling us that business is business, and has nothing to do with religion.” he said. “Churches are more divided in Australia than they are in America add England. What a mockery it is if the Churches ask the nations to live together as friends when we ourselves cannot live together as friends.
Bishop Moyes traced the development overseas of the movement toward a World Council of Churches representing all shades of Protestantism, the aims of which were to bring about a greater application of Christian belief in everyday life and unification of the Churches. “The convictions that we of the Protestant Churches hold in common are so much more real than the things on which we differ that it is a sin for us not to be working together.” he declared.
