means getting away from the city yet not having to cope with the wild frightening sil ence of the real country ecumenic a word known only in the ipnner circles of the christian church a few nrs ago has become almost a household ihrase today christianity for so many centuries i renown for its dissenting factions is in a ijsjvolutmn of change in canada anglicans cind united church are talking seriously of irtion forms of worship in most protestant lurches are becoming more and more uni n and there is a marked relaxation in vast difference in ritual philosophy and ijmlief between the roman catholic church ttnd majority of the protestant denomina- in georgetown could one have imagirt- even a few years ago met a roman olic rector would be guest speaker at i meeting of a ladies group in a protestant hurch would a group of protestants loin j conducted tour of the new r c church i wld would one have believed that at a mar i- jlaoj between an r c and protestant young rcpvpte a protestant clergyman would be 1 invited to part cipate n the serv ce all these things have happened here recently but more than th s there is a grow mg tolerance of relig ous differences which in turn is dissolving these d fferences more rapidly than one would ever have dreamed there is still many miles separating churches but we re n a et age and it is now possible to bet eve that the prodigal waste which has character zed christianity may yet draw its churches into a more uni ted front is it any wonder that our efforts to spread the christian gospel in other lands have met such slight success how can people in foreign count r es understand it when dozens of sects compete for the r own brand of religious interpretation the ecumenical movement s gather ng force with give and take on both sides there is now a glimmer of future hope that after two thousand years a uniform chris tian philosophy acceptable to all who pro fess this faith may emerge war heading for thim beach village which
