CHURCH REUNION
COUNTRY VICAR'S VIEWS VISION OF "ONE BIG FAMILY" "Speaking as a country vicar I cannot emphasise too strongly the need for some scheme of Church reunion, especially in the country districts," said the Reiv. A. H. MeC. Aeheson, vicar of Waimate, in the course of his sermon at the synod service in the Anglican Cathedral, Christchurch. Mr. Aeheson eaid that it was his opinion that reunion had been sought along wrong lines in the past; would not the hope of reunion have been nearer if an actempt had been made to organise a universal Church big family. Mr. Aeheson said he had heard it said that they should wait for a lead from the mother Churches, but he saw no reason why New Zealand should not take a lezid. In such a small country it would be considerably easier to come together and understand each other. It seemed that in all their deliberations they should have before them a vision of the Churches of the world as one big family.
