SISTER Margaret said that "through reading contemporary studies and reports, through some apostolic project carried on in so-called leisure time wherever possible, one can at least _know some of the pro blems of poverty," This kind of knowledge and experience will give the Sis ter "greater understanding of financial worries ex perienced by the people who comprise her apostolate," AS A result, "perhaps year book drives, patron drives, chance books and the like will © COMRA/VY' 550 SOIHHT tOAD, N. |„ ATLANTA, GfOIGIA Strvi»i A llama Sine* 1912 • MINTING • LITHOGRAPHING TRInlty 5-4727 ONE HOUR "MODERNIZING" CLEANERS 3995 PEACHTREE ROAD IN BROOKHAVEN MARIST UNIFORMS A SPECIALTY 1 Hour Stfvict Evry Boy Til 3,00 P.M. not so often be her solution to solving problems of need, she observed.

Says Churches Interdependent SPRINGFIELD, Mass, (RNS) The interdependence of church reunion plans, dialogues and goodwill in the modern ecumenical movement was stressed by a Protestant dele gate-observer at the Vatican Council in addressing about 1,500 Catholic priests and nuns here.

(DONALD SENATOR - 43rd DISTRICT DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY September 9 NOTRE DAME, Ind. (NC)~ Archbishop Karl J. Alter call ed for "more emphasis on the ecumenical movement as a first step in strengthening the missionary role of the Church." The Cincinnati archbishop told more than 4,200 high school, college, and seminary students and faculty moderators at the 21st Catholic Students' Mission Crusade national con vention here at the University of Notre Dame (Aug. 28) "there Is no choice left to us but to espouse the cause of Christian unity." "NO Christian can be neu tral, no one can be indifferent All followers of Christ must with conviction and with per sistent effort promote every action which will bring Christ ians together into the one Church of Christ," said the pre late who is the CSMC nation al president, "No sincere Christian," he added, "can be in favor of separation, disunity, or con flict concerning the truth of Christ." He urged the CSMC to "place more emphasis" on the ecumenical movement, "IN ORDER to be more ef fective in our program in for eign lands, we must cultivate an ’ understanding of the ecumenical movement," he said "Only thus can we give reality to Christ's prayer for unity and build a sure foundation for the total missionary program of the Church," To insure progress in "re conciling our differences with Seminary Fund Remember the SEMINARY FUND of the Archidocese of Atlanta in your Will.

He advised CSMC members to know the teachings of Luther, of Calvin, and of the Anglican Church— "three fundamental versions of Protestant doctrine which must be understood in or der to evaluate the Protestant mind," THIS knowledge, together with "an understanding of the disturbed historical situation afficting religion in the 16th century" are a preparation for following the ecumenical move ment and relating it to the CSMC program. Archbishop Alter also em phasized that the ecumenical movement "is not based on some sort of compromise or some artificial synthesis of Christian belief and practice," "IT IS not intended to seek unity by an effort to cultivate merely a fraternal spirit of love," he said, 'This is an essential beginning, but the ec umenical movement goes much farther, "It seeks to reach an agree ment on the basis of one or ganic living Church— one if faith, in worship, In the sacra ments, and one in its recog nition of the same discipline or Church authority. This is far removed from the idea of a mere federation of churches or a common front on rellgio- social questions," The ecumenical movement ' looks more to the future than to the past," and therefore tends to "de-emphaslze the po lemical or apologetic elements In the history of Christian dlf- femeces in religion," he as serted, THE MAJOR differences, he said, can be summarized under two subjects, "First, there is the question of the Sacred Scriptures, What is their precise function as a rule of faith 7 Which came first— Church or Scripture? Who interprets them when there is a doubt as to meaning?" The second major subject of difference is "the nature, funct ion, and structure of the Church," "IF THE dialogue between Christians is to be fruitful," he said, "it will have to wrestle with these fundamental ques tions and strive to bring about a mutual understanding and a common acceptance of their meaning." LITURGICAL PORTRAYAL Benedictines Join In Concelebration ST. LOUIS (RNS)— St. John’s Benedictine Abbey at College- ville, Minn., is demonstrating concelebration of the Mass, according to one of Its priests. Concelebration is the cele bration of Mass by several priests together, all consecrat ing the same bread and wine. FATHER Godfrey Diekmann, O. S, B., editor of Worship magazine and a noted expert on the liturgy, disclosed that priests at the abbey concele- brated five times with a few weeks. He made the disclosure in an address here to the 25th an nual Liturgical Week as he discussed the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy adopted by the Second Vatican Council. THIS Constitution provides for concelebration, butpermis- sion to practice It generally has not yet been given by the Vatican. However, St. John’s obtain ed permission for 20 priests to concelebrate once a week as an experiment, according to Abbot Baldwin Dworschak, 0, S.B., head of the abbey who has been chief celebrant at the con- celebrations. It is believed to be the first abbey In the Unit ed States to obtain this per mission. ST. JOHN’S, Is required to report the reactions of its priests to concelebration. When the reports are In from St. John’s and other abbeys, a Vatican commission may make some revisions in the rite be fore the final form Is decided upon. Abbot Dworschak said. Eventually, it expected that priests in groups more than 20 will be able to concelebrate and to do it daily, the abbot said, adding that the reaction at St. John’s to the new rite has been SECOND PRINTING FIRST 10,000 SOLD OUT "How To Understand Changes In The Liturgy n BY ARCHBISHOP PAUL J.

Concelebration will have ser- eral- practical advantages at St. John’s where almost 100 priests must celebrate Mass dally, it was noted. In the past, each priest has had to celebra te a Mass dally by himself. FATHER Diekmann, in his address, said concelebration mades It possible to manifest the unity of the priesthood, the unity of sacrifice and the unltyof the worshipping Church. Theologians, he noted, "still argue whether and in how far many Masses celebrated by many priests might give grea ter honor to God than one Mass celebrated by many pri ests." But the Vatican Council, he said, "not only permits conce lebration when the needs of the faithful do not require multiple Masses, in a startling revis ion of discipline, It recommends concelebration as 'more con ducive to piety.’" "WE MIGHT say," Father Diekmann continued, that the Council "tolerates the Mass privately celebrated only to safeguard freedom of indivi dual action. "One can only add the ar dent hope that this new dis cipline will stimulate also s re thinking of the whole vexed and sometimes, als unsavory matter of stipends." Another Vote? MONROE, G«. (RNS)—A B.p- tist congregation which voted not to allow Negroe* to attend its services here "might take another vote on the matter," the Rev, Clifford Jett, pastor, reported, ’There was a dif ference of 50 votes, and I think the conscience of some who voted against desegregating the church may impel them to have a change of heart," he said.
