CONSULTATION OF
CHURCH UNION HELD
PRINCETON, N.Y.-The
central objective of the
Consultation on Church Union
(COCU) as “the union of the
participation churches” was
strongly reaffirmed here
September 10-12 by the
movement’s Executive
Committee.
The affirmation came as the
two representatives from each
of the nine participating
churche reviewed a proposal
for committee procedures. By
unanimous vote, the
committee members put at the
top of the document this
paragraph:
“It is assumed that the

objective of the Consultation is
the union of the participating
churches and the product
which the operation is called
upon to deliver is a basis and
process whereby the united
church can be achieved.”
African Mehtodist Episcopal
Bishop Frederick D. Jordan,
Hollywood, Calif., chairman of
COCU, and other leaders
voiced hope that this action
would help allay some widely
voiced opinions that the
Consultation has lost sight of
its original purpose. Some of
these reports grew out of the
1973 COCU plenary in
Memphis, Tenn., when several
other emphases were adopted,
along with a process for
rewriting the 1970 draft PLAN
OF UNION in light of some
three years of study at the
local level.
In other actions at its session
here, one of four such meetings
annually, the Executive
Committee set the dates for
the next Consultation plenary,
received a progress report from
a joint Roman Catholic-COCU
committee working on a
possible common marriage rite,
reviewed personnnel for a
number of other working
commissions, and considered
possible sources of financial
help for colleges related to the
three Black churches in COCU.
Guidelines for the joint
marriage rite have been worked
on and the actual drafting will
begin soon, according to the
Rev. Dr. Paul A. Crow, Jr.,
general secretary of the
Consultation. It is hoped that
such a common rite will ease
“mixed-marriage” problems for
many persons.
November 4-8, 1974, was set
for the next COCU plenary. It
will be held in the
Netherlands-Hilton Hotel in
Cincinnnati, Ohio.
The exploration of financial
assistance for colleges related
to the three Black churches
included a considerationof
ways in which the
predominantly white churches
in the Consultation that help
finance their related Black
colleges also might be
encouraged to assist the other
schools.
In another action, the
executive committee discussed
ways in which the talents of
denominational delegates to
the annual plenary meeting
might be used to promote the
cause of church union in their
home communities.
The committee was told that
personnel of some ten working
commissions and task forces
related to the Consultation is
now being completed and that
all these groups are expected to
meet by the end of this year.
Included is the unit that will
rewrite the theological portions
of the 1970 draft PLAN OF
UNION in light of the local
church study. The Memphis
plenary reported general
agreement throughout the nine
churches on these portions of
the proposal.
Reviewing his five years as
chief executive officer of the
Consultation, Dr. Crow said
that after a period of
doldrums, the movement is
now in a “bullish market”.
“We have a possibility now
that we’ve never had in terms
of credibility and potential,”
the general secretary said.
Meeting at the conclusion of
the Executive Committee
session was one of the working
units know as the Adjunct
Staff Team. This group, made
up of national staff persons
and local pastors from the
participating churches, assists
the COCU secretariat in staff
responsibilities. It formerly was
known as the Interpretation
Commission.
The Executive Committee
will hold its next session
December 17-19 in New York
City.
Participating churches in the
Consultation are African
Methodist Episcopal, African
Methodist Episcopal Zion,
Christian Church (Disciples of
Christ), Christian Methodist
Episcopal, Episcopal Church,
the Presbyterian Church, U.S.,
United Church of Christ,
United Methodist, and the
United Presbyterian Church in
the U.S.A. Dr. Vivian U.
Robinson, Chairman of the
Division of Humanities at Paine
College, is one of the two
persons representing the
Christian Methodist Episcopal
Church on the Executive
Committee.
