u. L. C. and the Coming World Conferences. - From the minutes of
the executive board of the U. L. C., published in the Lutheran of Feb-
ruary 4, we see that, "it having been decided previously that the United
Lutheran Church in America would participate in the World Conference
of Faith and Order to be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in August, 1937,
the following were elected as regular delegates: Dr. A .. Steimle, Dr. Charles
M. Jacobs, Dr. A. R. Wentz, and Dr. E. E. Flack. The other members of the
commission, Dr. John Aberly, the Rev. T. G. Tappert, and Dr. W. H.
Greever, were elected as alternates." Concerning participation in the
Universal Christian Conference of Life and Work, the report says: "Due
.to the fact that this conference, which asks for official representation
from the churches, continues to exercise the practise of cooption of in-
dividuals as members of the conference, thereby vitiating the official
character of the conference and giving much opportunity for special
propaganda, the United Lutheran Church in America, through its execu-
tive board, declined the invitation to participate in the meetings to be
held in Oxford, England, in the summer of 1937. 'Coopted' members are
individuals selected and elected by the continuation committee of the
conference itself without regard for the status of such individuals in the
church-bodies of which they are members. The United Lutheran Church
has consistently protested against this action on the grounds of both prin-
ciple and practise, without admitting either an unwillingness to cooperate
with others on a proper basis or a lack of interest in the great questions
to be discussed in such a conference. The following was submitted by
the officers as a part of their report and was adopted unanimously: 'It
is recommended that the United Lutheran Church in America be not
represented at the meeting of the Universal Christian Conference on
Life and Work, the chief reason being that the membership of the con-
ference includes a large proportion of coopted individuals. The con-
ference thus ceases to be effectually a conference of the churches.'''
It seems to us that this refusal of U. L. C. officials to be represented
at Oxford this coming summer can justly be said to be based on a tech-
nicality. What one misses in the report is a discussion of the question to
what extent participation in these conferences would involve disloyalty
to Lutheran doctrine and principles. A.
A Pronouncement of the Executive Committee of the Lutheran World
Convention on Intra-Lutheran and Interdenominational ::dations. -
A document having the title Lutherans and Ecumenical Movements was
issued by said Executive Committee, and we here present it in toto. The
text is that submitted in the N. L. C. Bulletin, which we now quote: -
"Among the many items that received the consideration of the Exec-
utive Committee of the Lutheran World Convention when it met in New
York September 29 to October 6, 1936, was the participation of Lutherans
in ecumenical Christian movements. On this subject a statement of prin-
ciples was adopted. Before this statement could be announced to the
·Theological Observer - .R'hd)lid)'8ettgefd)id)tnd)es 469
churches it had to be sent to Europe and submitted to representatives of
the churches in the Scandinavian lands. This has now been done, official
translations have been made, and the Executive Committee herewith pre-
sents its conclusions to the churches. It is believed that this message and
these recommendations on ecumenical relationships will be found to ac-
cord with the Scriptures, and it is hoped that they will afford guidance
to the various Lutheran churches and will help them to resolve per-
plexities and bring clarity into a confusing situation. The statement
follows:-
"The Present Trend to Ecumenicity
"1. Ours is a day of enlarging relationships. The recent advances of
the physical sciences and changed conditions in the economic, the edu-
cational, and the political realms have brought about a number of ecu-
menical movements. Organizations and fellowships hitherto largely lim-
ited in scope are galvanizing themselves into world-wide proportions.
"2. Religious bodies that have always laid claim to ecumenical char-
acter are pressing those claims today with new vigor. Prominent among
these are Roman Catholicism and Anglicanism. New organizations are
coming into being and are aggressively striving for ecumenical expres-
sion. In many quarters it is held that wholesale disaster to the Chris-
tian Church can be averted only by closer integration of the Christian
forces of the world. So there have come to be a number of cooperative
organizations seeking the participation of Christians and church-bodies
across national boundaries. Such are the World's Conference on Faith
and Order, the Universal Christian Conference on Life and Work, the
World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the
Churches, the International Missionary Council, and the World Student
Christian Federation.
"3. With reference to participation in these ecumenical movements
and others of more local scope our people are perplexed. With reference
to their relations with other Christian churches making ecumenical claims
our Lutheran churches are waiting for light and leading. The Lutheran
World Convention has several times discussed these and related questions
and has occasionally made pronouncements on certain aspects of the
problems involved. Today the ripeness of the times and the urgency
of the situation seem to call for a comprehensive statement that may
serve to guide the churches adhering to the Convention. The Executive
Committee therefore presents the following message and recommenda-
tions:-
"A. The Ecumenical Character of Lutheranism
"Amid the many claims upon Lutheran churches to participate in
general ecumenical movements or to relate themselves to special Chris-
tian groups, it may be useful to point out the ecumenical character of
Lutheranism itself. Even apart from the large number and the geo-
graphical distribution of its adherents, the very genius of Lutheranism
is essentially ecumenical. It has always been so.
"The heart of Lutheranism comes from the heart of the Bible and has
its home in the heart of human personality. Based upon the prophetic
and apostolic Scriptures and growing out of the elemental human ex-
perience of personal faith, the Lutheran interpretation of the Gospel is
not bound to incidentals, such as polity or liturgy or type of piety. With
the God-man as its center and the universal priesthood of believers as
its radius, it covers the whole range of the human family and can never
be the exclusive possession of any particular race, nation, or tempera-
ment. Because Lutherans hold that the only marks of the true Church
are the ·ViTord and the Sacraments, they believe that there has been a true
Christian Church through all time and that 'one holy Church will con-
tinue forever' (Augsburg Confession, Art. VII). Because they lay no
emphasis upon such local and temporal forms as organization, human
traditions, rites and ceremonies, but teach that for 'the tr]le unity of the
Church it is enough to agree concerning the doctrine of the Gospel and
the administration of the Sacraments' (A. C., VII), they are ready to rec-
ognize true Christians under whatever name or organization they may
be found. The universal appeal of the Lutheran interpretation of the
Gospel, the elemental quality of the Lutheran understanding of faith,
and the catholic breadth of the Lutheran doctrine of the Church impart
to Lutheranism an ecumenical quality that must be remembered in these
days of emphasis upon externals. In the truest sense Lutheranism is
itself an ecumenical movement.
"B. The Need for Lutheran Solidarity
"1. This fundamentally ecumenical character of Lutheranism should
receive more concrete expression than has yet been done. This concrete
expression is not a matter of principle, but only of expediency in view of
the present religious situation in the world. The times seem to demand
that the inner unity already existing among the Lutherans of the world
be cultivated and mobilized in Lutheran world solidarity.
"2. The purpose of this outward expression of Lutheran fellowship
is not ostentation, not the display of size or so-called achievements. Nor
is it a political purpose, because Lutherans expressly renounce all secular
motives and repudiate all intention of invading the proper sphere of the
State. It is not in obeisance to an idealistic internationalism. Nor is it
to form a super-Church; for that might hamper the individual churches
in their work. The purpose in seeking to develop Lutheran solidarity is
to help meet the difficulties that confront our churches just now in com-
mon with all Christendom, to unite our forces in support of our Lutheran
brethren who even now are suffering for their faith, and to secure co-
operation of Lutherans everywhere in entering the new doors and trav-
ersing the new paths that God has recently opened to the progress of
the evangelical spirit. The purpose is to help one another in preserving,
and sharing with all nations, the treasures we possess in the Gospel of
our Lord, whom we know to be the Redeemer of the world from sin.
"3. This purpose is to be achieved-
"(a) By prosecuting vigorously all the objectives of the Lutheran
WorId Convention as expressed in the resolutions adopted by its general
gatherings;
"(b) By cultivating a Lutheran consciousness in individual Lu-
therans and in Lutheran church-bodies;
"(c) By furthering Lutheran unity within the several lands where
Lutheran forces are not at present united;
"(d) By forming a practical entente, or alliance, among all the Lu-
theran church-bodies in the world; and
"(e) By harmonious voice and united action with reference to pres-
ent-day ecumenical movements and general cooperative organizations
among Christians, approving what appears to Lutherans to be evangelical
in those movements and organizations and repudiating what appears to
us to be unevangelical.
"4. In thus expressing the world solidarity of Lutheranism, it will be
constantly incumbent upon the Lutheran churches of the world to bear
unequivocal witness to the truth of the Gospel as they understand it.
This will involve several relationships of these churches:-
"(a) Their relation to their common Lutheran heritage in the Word
of God;
"(b) Their relation to one another as Lutheran churches; and
"(c) Their relation to Christian churches claiming ecumenical char-
acter in themselves and to other churches in those movements and or-
ganizations that aim at the solution of present-day problems of larger
scope.
"C. Recommendations
"The Executive Committee of the Lutheran World Convention there-
fore makes the following recommendations:-
"I. Concerning Evangelical Consciousness
"I. That the Lutheran World Convention take all possible measures
to deepen the evangelical consciousness of the Lutheran churches of the
world, to intensify their devotion to the person of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and to stimulate their fidelity to His revealed Word.
"2. That the Lutheran World Convention urge each of the Lutheran
churches of the world to take warning from the present religious situa-
tion and to multiply its efforts to cultivate the Lutheran consciousness of
its members and their faithfulness to the Gospel of our Lord.
"3. That the Lutheran World Convention warn the Lutheran churches
of the world against the growing range of such pernicious influences as
atheism, secularism, syncretism, sectarianism, and politico-ecclesiasticism.
"II. Concerning Lutheran World Solidarity
"1. That the Lutheran World Convention take all possible measures
to cultivate among the Lutheran churches of the world a sense of com-
mon interest and to fashion among them the implements necessary for
Lutheran solidarity.
"2. That the Lutheran World Convention urge each of the Lutheran
churches of the world to cultivate in its members a sense of common
interest, above all with the Lutherans of the whole world.
"3. That the Lutheran World Convention with its volume of service
to World Lutheranism present itself as the agent for such world-wide
cooperation among Lutherans as the churches of the several lands may
desire to employ in these efforts to cultivate their evangelical conscious-
ness and their sense of Lutheran solidarity.
"4. That the Lutheran World Convention urge the Lutheran churches
of the world in their relations with other churches and general ecumen-
ical movements or organizations carefully to maintain existing unities
among those who hold the Lutheran interpretation of the Christian faith
and not to jeopardize the solidarity of ecumenical Lutheranism.
"III. Concerning Ecclesiastical Relationships
"1. That, recognizing that there are true Christians in every Church
of whatever name, the Lutheran churches of the world should approach
the question of their relationship with general movements in the spirit
of catholicity and without hostility or prejudice. While they should make
no effort to gloss genuine difference, they should nevertheless proceed
in the sincere and humble desire to render service and cooperate in
works of Christian love.
"2. That the Lutheran churches of the world should proceed with
united front in their relations with ecumenical Christian movements,
general cooperative organizations, or Christian churches claiming uni-
versality. They should agree among themselves as to their united par-
ticipation or non-participation.
"3. That participation of Lutheran churches in cooperative move-
ments or general organizations among the Protestant churches of the
world can be effected only when the following principles are observed:-
"(a) The cooperative movement or general organization guarantees
to every participating Church the right to declare unequivocally what it
believes concerning Christ and His Gospel and to testify definitely and
frankly against error; and the cooperative movement or general organi-
zation guarantees that such testimony will receive courteous and respect-
ful hearing.
"(b) The cooperative movement or general organization specifically
declares that the participating churches are not bound by the actions of
the entire group nor are responsible for the opinions of the entire group,
but only such actions and opinions as the individual church-bodies them-
selves may enact or adopt.
"(c) The cooperative movement or general organization in all of its
assemblies, conferences, and parts is constituted of official representatives
of church-bodies.
"(d) The cooperative movement or general organization cherishes
only such purposes as lie within the proper sphere of church activity.
It recognizes that the proper functions of the Church are the preaching of
the Word, the administration of the Sacraments, and the performance of
the works of Christian love. The true function of the Church does not
include the use of the church organization as an agency for securing the
enactment or enforcement of law nor the application of other methods
of external force.
"(e) The cooperative movement or general organization recognizes
the following doctrines and principles, derived from the Holy Scrip-
tures, to be fundamental to the Christian message:-
"(1) The fatherhood of God, revealed in His Son Jesus Christ, and
the sonship bestowed by God, through Christ, upon all who believe
in Him.
"(2) The true godhead of Jesus Christ and His redemption of the
world by His life and death and resurrection; and His living presence in
His Church.
"(3) The continued activity of God the Holy Spirit among men, call-
ing them into the fellowship of Jesus Christ and enlightening and sanc-
tifying them through the gifts of His grace.
"(4) The supreme importance of the Word of God and the Sacra-
ments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper as the means through which
the Holy Spirit testifies of Christ and thus creates and strengthens faith.
(In common with the whole Evangelical Lutheran Church we confess the
mystery of the Real Presence in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper,
and we invite all Christians to a renewed study of the teachings of the
Holy Scriptures concerning this Sacrament and the Sacrament of Holy
Baptism.)
"(5) The authority of the prophetic and apostolic Scriptures of the
Old and New Testaments as the only rule and standard by which all
doctrines and teachers are to be judged.
"( 6) The reality and universality of sin and the inability of men,
because of sin, to attain righteousness or earn salvation through their
own character or works.
"(7) The love and the righteousness of God, who for Christ's sake
bestows forgiveness and righteousness upon all who believe in Christ.
"(8) The present existence upon earth of the kingdom of God,
founded by His Son Jesus Christ, not as an external organization, but as
a spiritual reality and an object of faith.
"(9) The hope of Christ's second coming to be the Judge of the liv-
ing and the dead and to complete the kingdom of God.
"4. That the Lutheran W orId Convention urge the Lutheran churches
of the world to maintain a united front in combating militant ecclesias-
ticism wherever it seeks to invade evangelical ranks or with politico-
ecclesiastical measures to oppress evangelical minorities, and that the
Lutheran World Convention authorize and implement a special agency
to have charge of this matter."
This is a long statement, but it is undeniable that it is important,
constituting an earnest attempt to lay down correct principles to guide
Lutherans in their attitudes toward each other and toward other denomi-
nations. Weare here stating our first reaction. The document, while
commendable in many particulars, has its weaknesses and faults. For
Theological Observer - Ritn,lin,.,geitgefn,in,tlin,ell 473
one thing, the authors do not differentiate sufficiently between a nominal
and a real Lutheranism. By implication something is said on this point,
but there should have been incorporated a more vigorous and direct
reference to it. With respect to contact with other Christian bodies, the
authors insist, as a condition of cooperation, on acceptance of certain
doctrines and principles which indeed are important, but which, on the
one hand, are too comprehensive for determining whether or not a given
church-body should be regarded as Christian and which, on the other
hand, are not comprehensive enough for the establishment of church-
fellowship. It seems to us there is a chasm here which the authors have
failed to bridge. They recognize that "there are true Christians in every
Church of whatever name," and still they limit the circle of those church-
bodies with which they are willing to cooperate to those that accept the
nine doctrines and principles given under m, 3, e. We ask, By what are
they guided in deciding with whom to cooperate? Must the respective
church-body merely be one that can be called a Christian Church, or
must it be Christian and orthodox, or must it be Christian and in the
greater part of its doctrines orthodox? One gets the impression that the
authors have unwittingly slipped from a discussion of the question of
outward cooperation into that of church-fellowship. Furthermore, a per-
son naturally asks, What is meant by the expression (111,1) "to render
service and cooperate in works of Christian love"? Have the authors in
mind outward cooperation (as we just surmised), for instance, Lutheran
representation on a governmental commission for Army and Navy chap-
laincies and participation in a campaign for famine relief in China, or do
they think of joint religious endeavors, such as the evangelization of
China or Afghanistan would be? If cooperation in externals is thought
of, why the insistence on the above-mentioned nine points of doctrines
and principles? Let us hope that, as a discussion of this statement of
the Executive Committee will be carried on, these and other matters will
receive clarification and, where necessary, correction. A.
Free Conference on Theological Trends. - Wartburg Theological
Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa, the Western School of Prophets of the Amer-
ican Lutheran Church, is planning the establishment of an intersynodical
Luther Academy for the second half of July, 1937. This is envisaged
as a sort of free educational conference on a higher level, open to any
one who cares to participate. Its object is to bring leading men of our
Church into closer contact with one another and also to enable our
pastors to become more conversant with the theological, social, and
generally current questions of the day. That both are necessary if our
Lutheran Church is to recognize and discharge the function which it
has for our land and people hardly needs further comment. The
conference is to meet for ten days (July 19-29), and on the basis
of well-prepared lectures by leading men in their lines is to discuss
important questions in the field of theology and the practical work
of the Church in this day and age. The full name given to the enter-
prise is Luther Academy for Religion and Life, a name suggested by
the Lutherakademie of Sondershausen, Germany, a similar undertaking,
which has produced most valuable results for mutual recognition and
31
understanding of Lutherans over there. If it meets with the necessary
support, it will be continued from year to year. The cost will be
nominal, just enough to cover expenses. A letter or postal card to
Dr. Emil Rausch, President, Wartburg Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa, will
bring more detailed information.
The above report is taken over from the National Lutheran Council
Bulletin. We have received the personal assurance that this Luther
Academy will be conducted strictly as a free conference and that par-
ticipation in it will not involve unionism. The lecturers are Drs. Hult,
Reu, Mellby, Gullixson, Schaefer, all of whom are Lutherans, and one
man from the University of Chicago, Dr. John T. McNeill. A.
Brief Items. - The year 1936 marked the jubilee of the Bethel
Mission. It was founded in Berlin fifty years ago in connection with
the acquisition of German colonies in Africa. In its fields the Bethel
Mission has eighteen chief stations and 169 outstations, 10 native pastors,
339 men and 59 women helpers, and 17,945 Christians. In the 174 village
schools and two intermediate schools for boys and two for girls there
are 8,501 pupils. In the Bukoba field the mission is experiencing a
remarkable revival among the heathen. New groups constantly offer
themselves for Baptism, and the capacities of the few missionaries are
strained to the utmost. (The PTesbyterian.) - The Archbishop of Canter-
bury, so a correspondent of the Living Church writes from London, is
being bitterly attacked by several British newspapers on account of
what he said when King Edward abdicated and on account of his "recall
to religion." Weare told, however, that the public, generally speaking,
is inclined to support the archbishop and that his "recall to religion" is
bearing good fruit. - In the question-box column of the Christian Cen-
tury, where in a recent issue the matter of Christian union and the
Episcopalian insistence on acceptance of the historic episcopate as a con-
dition of union were discussed, the editor says: "Little progress will be
made toward the conversion of the free churches to the acceptance of
the historic episcopate, particularly when the validity of Anglican orders
is denied by the Roman Church." What a dark day it would be for
Christianity if the church-bodies professing it all agreed to accept this
condition of the Protestant Episcopal Church and of Rome as one laid
down by Christ, the Head of the Church! - One of our exchanges
reports: For half a century the North Africa Mission has maintained
a healing and preaching center in Tripoli, the only evangelical witness
in the whole of Libya. Complying with government requirement, the
purpose of the mission was described as "explaining the way of salvation
through the Lord Jesus Christ in obedience to His commands and also
endeavoring to show the love of God in our medical consultations."
A government ordinance authorized the mission on three conditions:
(a) No religious propaganda; (b) nurses to have Italian diplomas;
(c) promises to conform to hygiene inspector's regulations. The mis-
sionary doctor was unaware of this ordinance until it was read to him
at the police station on October 13, last, and then, charged with not ob-
serving its terms, a second ordinance, dated October 1, was handed to
him, and this ordered the closing of the mission. - The magazine This
Week is quoted as stating that America's current annual crime bill is
fifteen billion dollars. Stated simply, that amounts to $120 a year or $10
a month for every man, woman, and child in the United States. Every
year our prison population increases by 25,000 inmates. Felonies now
number 5,000 a day, or more than 1,500,000 annually. The Federal
Government records 5,000,000 persons in its criminal files and estimates
that 500,000 professional criminals are at large. According to one
authority, 135,000 murderers are at large, or more than all the police-
men in the land. (The Presbyterian.) - A person can hardly trust his
eyes when he sees in recent reports from New York City that the
Protestant membership in that metropolis is merely 454,045, which
means less than 7 per cent. of the population, and that the Sunday-school
enrolment is merely 194,428, which makes it a little more than 2 per
cent. What a mission-field! - In the American Lutheran Church the
golden jubilee of the New Guinea Mission at Madang was observed last
March. The Rhenish Society founded this mission, and during the
World War its management and maintenance were assumed by the
Australian Lutheran Church and the Iowa Synod. In 1932 the field was
taken over definitely by the American Lutheran Church. The mission
numbers 9 stations and 16,000 members. - The shah of Iran has given
his strong support to the unveiling of women. The queen and court
appear in public unveiled; all the more educated women have followed
their example. Cinemas, shops, and public places are barred to veiled
women. (The Presbyterian.) - We learn from the religious press that
in Indiana a Baptist minister, Rev. Verdi Allen, pastor of the Beech
Grove Baptist Church of Indianapolis, is valiantly testifying against the
false teachings of evolution and the attempt to teach this theory to
pupils in the public schools of the State. It is reported that he found
evidence that pupils in the eighth grade of some school in Indianapolis
were . taught Darwinism. He discovered furthermore that the infamous
book of Van Loon in which the animal ancestry of man is taught as
a fact had been put on the State's list of reference books. First there
was some talk of a debate, before a scientific jury, between Van Loon
and Pastor Allen; but the former has now, as reported, definitely
refused to engage in such a debate. - Who are the Uniats? One sees
the term occasionally, and hence we herewith submit a definition which
appeared in the Living Church: "The Uniats are Christians of various
Eastern rites who have at one time or another split off from the Eastern
orthodox communion and accepted the papal obedience, retaining many
of their own rites and ceremonies," Dwelling on the Roumanian Uniats,
this paper, quoting Ame1'ica (Catholic), informs us that these people
are permitted to celebrate mass in their own language. Rome has
here adapted itself to the exigencies of a particular situation. - In
Roumania a strange anti-Semitic fanaticism is said to be manifesting
itself. The leader of the movement is Cornelius Z. Codreanu. Opposing
Communism as well as the Jews and their influence, this man and his
followers are described as being brutally intolerant, not stopping at
torture and murder in carrying out the dictates of their misguided,
unbridled religious ardor. If the report before us is correct, then this
movement wants to ''purge public life, exterminate corruption and cor-
476 Theological Observer - Ritd)lid)~.8eitgefd)id)tIid)e!l
rupters, and reorganize social life on a new basis. - Seabury-Western
Theological Seminary, a Protestant Episcopal school located at Evans-
ton, Ill., "now requires students to obtain their bachelor's degree in arts
or science before beginning the study of theology. Students without
a bachelor's degree from an approved college are accepted as special
students only and cannot become candidates for the bachelor-of-divinty
degree."-The total Moslem population of India, 77,500,000, exceeds the
combined Moslem populations of Arabia, Persia, Turkey, Egypt, Syria,
and Palestine. Indian Moslems have sent missionaries to Europe,
Africa, and America and support mosques in Berlin, London, Australia,
Brazil, and Trinidad. (The Presbyterian.) A.
