RE-UNION OF THE CHURCHES
EX-BISHOP SEES NEW HOPE. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received Oct. 7, 5.5 p.m. London, Oct. 6. A new stage in the long progress towards Christian re-union was reached at Cheltenham when Archbishop Germanos, of the Greek Orthodox Church, stood with two foremost exponents of the German and Danish Lutheran churches and representatives of five British Free churches on the platform at the church congress. The depth of understanding revealed in their addresses drew the exBishop of Gloucester to remark that what he had seen and heard encouraged the hope that something might be accomplished in the future in the direction of a reunion. “We do not want to make a pact with this or that church,” he said. “We are not ready, but if wo consider the subjects uppermost to-day we must realise there will be immense gain when we are allowed to hear men of other religions in our pulpits, and when we can preach to them.”
