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 JOHANNSEN’S I; trophies GOODS ALL * ALL Colors Ail Sizes COR. 12th & REYNOLDS I We don’t make promises.

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.
