better in union than In separation; and.
| Whereas, representation In the federal
| council is obtained by any religious body
on the approval of the purpose and plan
of the council which is: To manifest the
essential oneness Of Christian churches OF
] America, in Jesus Christ as their divine
Lord and Saviour, and to promote the
spirit OF fellowship and cooperation
| among them, and
| Whereas, the federal council Is pre-
cluded by it's constitution from drawing
I'D a common creed or form OF govern
ment or worship. or in any way limiting
the full autonomy Of the Christian bodies
adhering TO II,
Delegates TO Federal Council.
| Therefore, be II resolved, the House OF
Bishops concurring. that the Protestant
Episcopal Church approve the purpose
and plan OF the federal council and au-
thorizes the commissions Of the General
Convention on Christian Unity and Social
Service to send TO the federal council such
number OF delegates as this Church is en-
titled 10 under section Of the constitu-
ton Of the federal council"
