By LOUB CAS8ELB
United Press International
Leaders of six major denomi-
nations will meet at Princeton,
N. J., next week to resume eon-
toderation of the most far
reaching church merger ever
envisioned in America.
This will be the third full-dress
meeting of the Consuls tion on
Church Union.
The consultation was estab-
lished in 1961 to explore the
possibility of uniting 20 million
Americans in a church which
would bring together the ralho-
lic. reformed and evangelical
traditions of Christianity.
It grew out of a proposal of!
the Rev. Dr. Eugene Carson,
Bleak, stated clerk of the Unit-
ed Presbyterian Church..
The denominations participat-
ing in the merger talk* are the
United Presbyterian Church,
the Episcopal C h u r e h , the
Methodist Church, the Disci-
ples of Christ and the Evangel-
ical United Bretheren.
Previous meetings of the con-
sultation were held at the Col-
lege of Preachers in Waching-
t n, D. C., in 1962 and at Ober-
lin College, Oberlin, Ohio, in
1963.
Far, more progress was
achieved at these sessions than
is commonly realized. At Ober-
lin last rear, the delegations as-
tounded skeptical observer*
and even surprised them-
selves by reaching a hroad
consensus on the authority of
the Bible and the importance of
Tradition.
Next week’* meeting at
Princeton Theological Seminary
will begin Monday and run
through Thursday. Some church
leaders are saying that it will
be the crucial test which de-
termine* whether the merger
plan will eventually bear fruit.
Its make - or - break signifi-
cances stems from the fact that
this time ihe delegates will lie
talking about the ministry ami
the sacraments.
There is universal agreement
that the biggest barriers to un-
ity will be encountered in these
two areas.
Are bishops necessary? By
whom may a clergman be or-
dained? Must ministerial orders
lie traced in unbroken succes-
sion back to t h e first apos-
tles in order to be valid? Is
j there any biblical warrant for
infant liaptism? In what sense
1 is Christ “really present” in
the bread and the win* of holy
communion?
On these and dozens of relat-
ed doctrinal questions, the de-
: nominations involved in t h e
! merger talks have deep-seat-
ed historical differences.
No orie expects all of the dif-
lerenre»‘ to be resolved at
.Princeton, But next weeks dis-
cussion* may show whether
there is enough common ground
-or, perhaps more important,
enough will to unity - to justi-
fy ■ continued effort to work
out an actual plan of union.
At tiie most optimistic effort,
it will take five to 10 more
jeans of patient negotiation to
consummate the merger. But is
there any reason why the six
denominations can't begin new
to work together on a practical
basis?
The United Church of Christ
will raise that question at
Princeton by projiosing "imme-
diate steps" to poll missionary
efforts overseas and in such
home pi is,<aon field* a* the in-
nar city. i
The United Church proposal
also calls tor uniting activites
of the six denominations in race
relations, recruitment and edu-
cation of ministers, and radio
and television programming.
The Rev. Dr. Ben M. Herb-;
ster, president of the United i
Church, said he is confident of
"ultimate success” in the mer-
ger talks, but "it will not be
achieved today or tomorrow.”
"While we talk and plan for
formal organizational union, we
should not wait years to begin
acting together ax the church
of Christ.” he said. "The traps-1
forming power that c i n be j
brought to bear only bv t h e
church acting in unity is need
