Puerto Rican Protestant
Minister Sees Tendency
Toward Catholic Practices
(NCWC News Service)
SAN JUAN, P. R.—Protestantism
is in • danger because “the Pro
testant wind is beginning to blow
in the direction of Catholicism,”
a Protestant minister, Dean Wal
ter R. Clyde, of the Evangelical
Seminary at Puerto Rica, warns.
His statements, made in the semi
nary chapel were published in the
institution’s paper. El Bolctin.
“One must observe in modern
Protestantism an increasing tend
ency to depart from the notion
of the basic equality of the flock
with the minister,” Dean Clyde
said. “It can be observed, among
other forms, with reference to two
symbolic practices. Some Pro
testant churches, are restoring the
altar. , . . Some Protestant min
isters are beginning to use dis
tinctive minsterial garb, which
sels them apart 'from the people.
Such changes in Portestant prac
tices are ‘straws in the wind’
showing how the wind is blowing.
They simply demonstrate that the
Protestant wind is beginning to
blow in the direction of Catholic
ism.
