Will the two present na- |tional offices come together un- der one roof? Eventually this may be so. Merging of the administrative machinery of the two churches will take some time and full facilities of both buildings' will be needed. However, there might well be rearrangement of joffices and some offices such las those of the general secre- |taries would have to be brought together from the outset, 14.

To be carried through, the plan will require wide acceptance by both com- jmunions.

No one knows, but not for some years. Granted accept- ance of these principles in 1965 by the general synod and in 1968 |by the general council ,the de- jtailed work of the commissions will require a minimum of four yers to complete their task. Indeed, it may take much longer than that.
