A UNIQUE CHALLENGE Spec·a1 Pro ram Neede

Panel Disbanded in County Action Roma Catholics To Be Included in New Group Here By ROBER I OiVEROLI ,,o,,v. 6 j' The conference, approvetl at a general assembly meeting in All Saints Episcopal Church, has revised bylaws which will permit membership by Ro- man Catholic congregations. Keeping With Trend The action is in keeping with a national trend in which local and slate council. of C'h~rehes have adopted new names, al- tered admission r~quirements or both, prunarily to permit Catholic member~hip. ''This action alfords the Christian churches in San Diego a new opportunity to promote the message of Christ in everyday life," said the Rev. Canon Paul G. Satrang, president ot the disbanded council. Feelings Expressed ''What a way to celebrate Renewal Sunda I'm thrill- ed," said the Rev. John R. Portman, chairman of the Ec- umenical Com1111ssion of the San Diego Catholic Diocese. Renewal Sunday, observed throughout Christendom yes- terday, was formerly known as Reformation Sunday, which commemorated the unofficial start of the Protestant Refor- mation in 1517 by Martin Lu- ther. Election Scheduled The Ecumenical Conference will be officially instituted at a meeting beginning at 7:30 p.m., Jan. 25, in the Flfst Presbyterian Church, 320 Date St., when a president and oth- er officers will be elected. The assembly voted unani- mously to disband the council and reorganize as the Ecumen- ical Conference. Some 22a clergy and laymen from nine denominations took part in the deliberations. Approved by Diocese Although the conference has the approval of the an Diego Roman Catholic Diocese, the diocese itself will not join as a unit. Conference membership will be by individual congre- gations only. The first three applicants for membership were La Mesa United Church of Christ, Our Lady of the Angels Catho- lic and All Saints E11iscopal churches. 'No Connection' The conference will have no connection with either the Na- tional or WorId Cowicil of Churches. According to the revised preamble of the conference, member congregations accept Christ and baptism as bases of Christian unity while recogniz- ing continuing doctrinal differ- ences among themselves. Serv- ice to others is emphasized. Each Must Agree Each member congregation must agree to take part in one of four project areas and agree to support the organization financially. The four project areas are ecumenical relations, social concerns, education and publicity, and special minis- tries such :-is to youth and the elderly. Membership fee is about 50 cents per congregation family. Father Portman said that the conference will have no power to bind member congre- gations on doctrinal matters. It can take stands on public issues only by a 60 per cent vote and must record and pub- licize dissenting views, Father Portman said.
