INTEREST HIGH AT INTER-FAITH DINNER The ultimate unity of Christian Churches was liken ed by Rev.John Keating to that of two parallel lines that come together in the distance, as he addressed the first Inter-Faith Dinner held in Terrace Bay last Wednesday evening. He outlined the basic aims of all Christians and laid a pattern for the growth and development of the present inter-faith group. Rev. Keating, with a wealth of background in this field, as a member of the Commission for Unity in the Archdiocese of Toronto, was an inspried speaker before a rapt audience of 235 members of the two Churches--the Catholic and the Protestant, in Ter- race Bay. Welcoming the opportunity to meet with the inter- faith group here Rev. Keating saluted those attend- ing as a great meeting of the opposites--Catholics and Protestants--hourly and salary--and making reference to the opening presentation of religious songs by the Terrace Bay Mens' Chorus, a male choir led by awoman. He felt it to be a great credit to the people of this area. Recommending further exploration, Rev.Keating suggested an ecumenical program based on Spiritual Acumen, holiness of life and brotherly love through public and private prayer. He felt that for too long we had taken religious pleurism for granted. This was obviously contrary to the teaching of Christ and His help should be sought to overcome prejudice and hostility. This could not be changed overnight but, instead of growing further apart, they could at least overcome differences--not seeking a uni- formity, but to grow into a family of God. Too frequently people have been jealous of safeguarding their denomination, fearful that in some way they might despoil themselves if they enter into friendly relationship. The only scandal, he felt, was that of divided Christians. Previously introduced to the first inter-faith group who had met for about a year in Terrace Bay with the purpose of fostering better understanding, Rev. Keating made recommendations to have this group continue its growth by dividing into many other small groups, thereby increasing its scope and its aim. Not wishing to blueprint a plan for their devel- opment, he did, however, suggest many topics of study--the Eucharist or Sacrament of the Last Supper, attendance at a Wake, a common prayer for their joint meetings and studies of the Scriptures. These groups would not come together to convince the others present, but to develop a comprehensible understanding. 'Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Mr .Al Chisholm and Mr. Jim (Continued page 4) Serving the District Vol.8, No.ll LAKEHEAD TEAM WINS BOWLING TROPHY: Three ten pin bowling teams travelled from the Lakehead last Saturday to challenge three local teams for the Hogarth Coal Trophy.
