Churches of World Asked
to Join in “Concert”
Against War.
A universal appeal to churches of
all denominations to join in a "world
concert of prayer for peace” has been
sent out by the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in America.
The "concert of prayer,” launched
during Holy week, is only one of the
many measures being taken by the
Federal Council in the interest of
peace, Samuel McCrea Cavert, gen
eral secretary, points out.
By educational programs in
churches and Sunday schools, by
messages to the general public
through the press, by representations
to Government officials and legislators
concerning the will-to-peace among
thoughtful Christian people. Cavert
says, the council is exerting a con
stant influence to "keep our Nation
from drifting into policies that would
tend toward war.”
A pamphlet entitled "World-Wide
Call to Prayer for Peace,” written
by Dr. Walter Van Kirk, is being
distributed universally.
"At this ominous hour when the
specter of war again haunts the
world." the pamphlet says, "we in
vite all followers of Christ to unite
in earnest prayer for peace. Only
a new and united will to peace, bom
of a deep faith in God and fellowship
with Him, can save the world from
threatened tragedy. Only the spirit
ual power derived from a united
dedication to seeking and following
God's will for mankind is adequate
to stay the rising currents of selfish
nationalism and bring peace to a dis
ordered world.”
