TH EODORE R. LUDLOW

The Suffragan Bishop of Neivark

T)E CAU S E we believe in a still-revealing God, we have a very vital contribution to make to our people at this particular time. The mood of the world is dark and many are fea rfu l that human progress has received a serious set-back if not a death blow. Because we believe in a stillrevealing God we must stand firmly for the principle that no set-back to progress or to reform is
Cavaliers in Virginia, of the Roman Catholics in Maryland and of the Quakers in Pennsylvania, and we begin to glimpse the tremendous task which had to be faced in building a nation. Moreover, our population was not homogeneous. It was made up of landed gentry, artisans, form er convicts, bond servants, educators and others. Therefore, there was in this country much diversias serious as loss of faith in the worth of the ty and richness of thought.
Our forefathers were able to integrate these dieffort. Faith is creative— fea r is destructive. God is still at work creating new methods for the new day. We must go forwa r d with Him and not backward in despair. vergent characteristics and attitudes by believing in a living God who was working His purpose out through men and by seeking a larger and more inclusive whole which would permit diversity of theory and practice in seeking a common objective. This integration is the significant background of our history and is also our potential contribution to world history, that is, our proven ability to win unity of purpose even with diversity of practice. Our Constitution is an embodiment of this historical fact. Our Federal system brings together sovereign states into a cooperative national unit. In so doing it does not enforce a dead uniformity, but leaves the balance of unnamed powers in the hands of the constituent states.
We need to remember that the Constitution of our Church was drawn up by many of the same men and was based on this same philosophy of life, namely, that it is possible for men to secure a common objective through diversity of theory and practice. We must constantly remember this fa ct and avoid the danger of tryin g to identify our Church with the centralized uniform ity of Rome or even with the Monarchical Episcopate of E n gland. Our American Church has preserved all essential continuity of life and of thought but always reserves to itself the right to express that life and those thoughts in the way that best represent its own peculiar experience of God’s leading.
We in Am erica are capable of discovering and of using new methods and we are constantly proving that fa ct in the material world. We have invented a rubber that can do what natural rubber cannot do— resist acid and outwear metal. We have created 1500 plastics fr om which we make such diversified products as jewelry, clothing and machine parts. In fa ct, our skill along these lines is so great that we are on the verge of a new age in which we shall no longer dig in the ground for the materials we want or take them from animals or plants as in the past. We shall make such articles as we wish by integrating existing chemical materials into new substances which we have never had before.
What we can do with material things we can do with living persons as has been proven by our own history. The United States was built by Europeans who were striving to create new political, social and religious ideas in European backgrounds. They did not succeed at home so they came here to this country intent upon tryin g them out where they could have a fr ee hand. It is an amazing thing to consider the divergent elements that went into the making of our nation. Recall the characteristics of the Puritans in New England, of the

ognize the relationship or not. We shall never know God in His fullness until we know Him as all of the other children know Him, and in order to secure that enrichment from others, we must emphasize their potentiality for the good of the whole and not their defects. Above all things, we must develop a mind bent upon cooperation with God and with all of our fellow men on the basis of the fam ily relationship. That was the meaning of Agape to the early Church. With that attitude of mind and with the whole perspective which it will give us, we shall be able to fa ce the problem of reintegrating a divided world without fea r and with a consciousness that God is working with and
That right to preserve its own American genius must be maintained. Otherwise Church unity will never be possible except upon some plan of absorption and uniformity. While we should be guided by the experience of our Roman and Orthodox brethren and should offer them every opportunity of fellowship and cooperation, the genius of our American Church must be exercised in seeking a larger whole which will include them, ourselves and our American Protestant brethren in a unity of purpose and fellowship even while it . permits a wide diversity of theory and practice.

UR nation was born of the pioneer spirit and

O

must never lose that birthright. The field of through us.

activity has changed from the native prairie to the

wilderness of human relationships. We must work in this latter field as courageously and with the same spirit as we worked in the form er. In the form ation of our Constitution two vital interests had to be integrated: the value of the individual and the value of the state. The Declaration of Independence is an individualistic document. The Constitution is a state document. The two documents were reconciled when the amendments which constitute our Bill of Rights were added to the Constitution. J efferson was an individualist. Hamilton wTas a Federalist. Abraham Lincoln coordinated the two ideas into a larger whole. He wrote the Emancipation Proclamation which set free the individual and won the military victory which preserved the union. He thereby set the union free from the individualism of state sovereignty. America has proven her genius for integrating diverse factors both in the nation and in the Church.
If I understand Christian history, the Church was founded upon fellowship with Christ on the part of those who practiced that fellowship for the better expressing of His purpose of fellowship with all men. The Church was first organic before it was an organization. To be true to that kind of an institution which our Lord founded, we must continue to be organic—primarily a living fellowship with Him and with one another. Then, even in this difficult day when newTideas are suspected and when adventures in fellowship are feared, the task of the Christian is to go forward and to seek a greater whole that shall hold together the diverse elements of national and Christian life.
