UNION
DISCUSSED
Church
gap
closes
By
Bob

Southern

TORONTO
Canadas
two
largest
Protestant
churches
Anglican
and
United
have
been
flirting
with
the
idea
of
church
union
for
30
years
That
courtship
joined
by
the
smaller
Christian
Church
Disciples
of
Christ
in
Canada
in
1969
passed
a
milestone
of
sorts
here
Wed
Wednesday
�
nesday
The
bilateral
General
Com
Commission
�
mission
on
Church
Union
presented
its
Plan
of
Union
to
the
executives
of
the
three
churches
in
a
praying
singing
ceremony
in
which
the
word
asceticism
would
have
been
out
of
place
completely
The
77
page
little
blue
book
as
one
person
called
the
plan
embodies
five
years
of
commission
work
and
thought
But
nobody
dares
guess
how
long
the
three
churches
will
study
and
debate
its
proposals
before
they
come
to
some
meeting
of
the
minds
One
thing
however
does
seem
clear
Theclergy
and
lay
people
who
are
anxious
to
see
union
become
a
reality
are
going
to
have
to
do
a
whale
of
a
selling
job
on
those
who
are
opposed
and
those
who
are
apathetic
And
the
apathetics
from
all
accounts
comprise
the
big
biggest
�
gest
group
of
all
All
three
churches
have
a
history
of
diverse
worship
within
certain
essentials
of
their
own
denominations
Why
then
in
an
age
of
ever
higher
premiums
on
individual
expression
would
they
want
to
unite
in
the
first
place
The
reasons
appear
to
be
partly
symbolic
and
partly
practical
On
the
symbolic
side
as
the
plans
statement
of
intent
implies
union
would
be
tes
testimony
�
timony
to
the
belief
that
God
has
created
one
church
In
obedience
to
God
we
seek
a
new
manifestation
of
the
Church
which
in
its
faith
and
witness
worship
and
ministry
structure
and
mis
mission
�
sion
will
help
to
make
visible
the
God
given
unity
of
the
Church
The
practical
side
Dr
N
Bruce
McLeod
moderator
of
the
United
Church
of
Canada
explains
it
this
way
The
churches
have
a
mission
to
do
good
work
in
the
world
Any
Anything
�
thing
that
can
optimize
their
human
and
financial
resources
must
be
consi
considered
�
dered
seriously
One
big
point
the
pro
unionists
are
going
to
have
to
dwell
on
at
length
is
the
flexi
flexibility

bility
