The Church and Ecumenism :ioC~ New Insights Lauded

and wholeheartedly and ar- ticulately a Roman Catholic, then he has nothing to say in dialogue to a Methodist, a Baptist, or a Presbyterian . "And it works the other way. AB I have often said to groups of other churches, unless they are able to say to us with real en- thusiasm what they have found of Christ through their tradition, then there is really not that much to say to ua in furtherance of dialogue leading to Christian unity." Dr. Ryland has been on the USD faculty since last year, and was formerly co-director of the Oklahoma Center for Christian Renewal. He received his theological training from Union Theological Seminary. During the USD summer sessions be taught "Christ the Lion : Agape in the Narnian Chronicles," in the pre-session ended June 19. He also is teaching "Comparative Christianity," stressing the principles of ecumenism, and "Christian Healing," which will include a review of the present Pentecostal movement. These courses are offered during the regular session until July 31.

Vatican Council we find ad- monition from the bishops of Vatican II not to try to prejudge the future inspiration of the Holy Spirit." Although birth control and divorce are current issues within the Catholic Church and between Catholics and other Christians, Dr. Ryland said, in the serious dialogues between the representatives of the churches, the talk is about the "very serious issue of papal infallability." Larger Issue The larger issue in is authenticity . "This is to say there was a time in early decades of the 20th Century in the ecumenical movement when there was a widespread feeling that the way we make progress toward church unity is to work toward a lowest common denominator of belief. ecumenism, Ryland said, however , Dr.·

The Catholic Church has come rather quickly from a policy of total isolation from other churches to a policy of very deep involvement because of changes in theological in- sights, says a University of San professor. -nF:' Raymond 0 . R~land, assistant professor of reiig1ous studies at USD, who recently began steps toward becoming a lay deacon of the Catholic Church, spoke on the developments in the Church in an interview. The reasons for the changes in policy were not sociological, but theological, Dr. Ryland said. Va tican II and the efforts of Pope John XXIII were indeed precipitating factors but the reasons go further back in time, he said. Important Factor "There is no question that the enormous good will which Pope John beg at and which he evoked from various persons was a very important factor, " he said. "Still the more important and basic development was the Roman Catholic scholars and scholars of other Christian traditions." There is some misgiving on the part of non-Catholics, Dr. Ryland admitted. There are those who, perhaps, he said, have a certain lack of con- fidence in future dialogue as the change came so quickly. Their concern, he explained, is that a reversion to former isolation could come almost as unex- pectedly. Dramatic Change This misgiving requires that there be a fuller understanding of the change and the reasons behind it, Dr. Ryland said. "The dramatic change is due not to the Church trying to be 'more liberal' or 'more un- derstanding,' but it is due to a basic and serious development in the Church's understanding of herself and her relation to the other churches and ecclesiastic communities." Asked the directions of the ecumenical movement, Dr. Ryland said no one in the leadership of the churches · involved is prepared to say

However, the diiference in the general atmos phere of the college, sh~ sajd , ca n be ' regarded as either an im- provement or a deterioration, dependent on the point of view. "Those who put high priority on neatness and having everything in its place are going to call it a deterioration. " I personally don' t look upon it quite like that, because of the social and academic enrich- ment. But there have been shocks for some people." The college is conducted by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, an international order with educational in- stitutions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America as well as Europe and the United States. The Religious themselves have been undergoing a change of dress. Many of the Sisters have given up their habits for contemporary garb. Something Deeper Asked if the change in dress was symptomatic of something deeper within the order, Sister Furay stated she thought it was. " Religious women and Religious men in the 19705 have had to look very deeply at the real meaning of why they en- tered Religiou~ life, why they stayed in it, of what it is for and what it is doing . " Perhaps many of us in previous year concentrated too much on external forms and perhaps didn't go deep enough." She added that the Religious and lay people in the Church are tending to examine meanings. "We have to look at fun- damentals, we have to look at why ; e have to come face to face with the meaning of the kind of life we have chosen to live, wh ther it is a Religious life or the life of' a lay person in the Church." Sister Furay will be a delegate to the General Chapter of the society in Rome later this year The general chapter follows a special meeting called by the religious order in 1967. followmg Vatican II The special chapter maugurated a three-year period of experimentation with forms of apostolate, forms of Religious life, different ways of prayer, and greater activity in

"This 1970 general chapter is going to look at tbe period of experimentation, evaluate it, ascertain where we are going wrong, where the experimen- tation has given us a deeper and n.ore viable apostolate and Religious life," Sister Furay said. About 90 nuns will represent the 6,500 nuns of the society at the general chapter. Sister Furay will be one of 13 delegates from the United States and Canada. She will accompany the provincial of the western province to the Rome meeting, visiting en route other houses of the society in Korea. Taiwan, Bombay, Uganda, Cairo, Germany, f'rance , England and Ireland. "We wish to see as many of the so~iety 's houses as possible," Sister Furay said, " particularly the mission houses. It seems only fair that as many as possible of those at the general chapter, involved in the deliberations, will have seen other parts of the society. other ways of life, other viewpoints on fundamental questions.
