Wes ley Qajke:of Trinity Canaidian Representative at Peace Conference in, Berlin It was in the year 1356 that Charles IV lost confidence in the Diet of the German Empire to keep the peace and turned to the electors boping that they might co-operate to prevent war. Six bundred and nineteen years inter Cunter Berndt, Director of the Ev- angelical Academy of West Berlin, on the suggestion of Dr. Nikodim, Metropolitan of Leningrad and Novgorod (USSR), President of The Christian Pence Conference and Dr. H. Kioppenburg (Federal Republie of Ger- mnany) and Prof. Russel Chnrn(Indiia Y i'mer of t'he Central Commitee of the WCC and President of the Asian Christian Peace Confer- ence, initiated and convoked an ecclesiastical consultation on the question: "What is the meaning of the word 'Christ- ian' in peace work, boping that Christians might co-operate to prevent war. The consultation was fromn January 2427 in the West Berlin Church's Johan- nesstift. Metropolitan Nikodim, pre- vented by ilness from attend- ing, sent a message of greeting and introduction to the conference wbich was read by Arcbbishop Philaret, Exarch of Centrai Europe. Addresses on the theme of the conference were given by Prof. Dr. Cbandram and Dr. H. de Graaf, Professor of Social Etbics at the University of Utrecbten the Netberlands. In four working gro ups participants. from ail the Europe countries, from Asia, Africa, Latin ,America and North America discussed wbether it was necessary or ~even possible to find a ~theological basis for Christian 'work for peace. The subject was approached from a variety of theological traditions wbich found ex- pression in the lectures and in ti'xe introduction. There wns ý,eneral agreement on the fblowing points.' 1. Al Chistian work for pleace is motivated in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There isý a "Jesus motivation". The sti'ess shouid fali on common fan.ks nrising from this faitbful reýponse to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and not on the differences deriving9 from our different theological, political or social backgrounds..1 2, Working for peace is a concerete way of confessing Jesus Christ today. t is an essential dimension of the ecumenical effort 'of the churches. Here it was recog- nized that the theological foundations for Christian peac'e work may not be 50 narrowiy Christological as to exclude the socio-political an- alyses necessary to under- stand the structural violence whicl4 causes so mucb human suffering in our world today. If our suffering fellow buman beingsare really to be belped, we must be able to support our actions witb adequate socio- political analyses. This dia- lectic between tbeology and Christoiogy may be under- stood when one sees that the historical Jesus revealed the universal Christ, who is alwnys at work in history. Rational soclo-political anal- yses may then beseen as one Of the ways to discern how God in Christ is nddressing 'us in the suffering of our contemp- oraries. Sucb analyses pro- vide the grounds for Christian participation in revolutionary movements seeking structural change, as also was said in a 1973 WCC document. 3. Work, for social justice, reconciliation and'peace, in- deed ail social responsibility,' belongs to the inescapable task of Christians. In agreeing to this point, some existential concerns were raised: 1( Christian peace activity can- not be carried on in a context of despair and mistrust. We must work withgenuine trust in eacb other in the hope that God will bless our efforts. 2( Our pious assertions to be on the side of the oppressed requires Christians in the rich lands of both east and west:to take steps to reduce their consumiption for the sake of thle developing lands. 31,.The existen1tial activity that C'aus- ed some to refuse further co-operation witb the Christ- ian Peace Conference in 1968-69 was the, lack of freedom in the CPC to criticize the ideology and practise which had ledthe Warsaw Pact Power to invade Czech- osiovakia in 1968. The discussion of various aspects of Christian work for peace was reflected in the group reports 'which were presented to the whole confer- ence and which could be a point of departure for further considerations and studies. D. Kurt Scbarf, Bishop of West Berlin,,visited the consulation and held one of the conference Bible studies. On Sunday, ýJanuary 26th, participants worsbipped in varlous West and East Berlin Churches and brought greet- ings to the congregations fromf their.Church and peace organ- izations. The Rev. Wesley Oake of, Trinit United Church was the Cana dian representative and one of the three persons who were asked to give a sum- mation ofwhat they felt had been accomplîshed at this, conference by 'Christians working for peace and hope- f ull Y' providing a strong deterrent in preventîng war. The people of Bowmanville (and Canada) 'sbould f eel proud and tbankful that Rev. Wesley Oake is contributing much to try and bring about peace among ail nations. The consultation was held in an atmosphere- of Brother- hood. It was a free exchange MRS. M. ETHEL LOUISE COUCH The death occurred,, on Saturday, February lst, 1975, of Mrs. M. Ethel Louise Couch aged 87, in Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville, following an illness of almost tbree years. She was a bighly respected member of this 'community.
