Outlines CREED
Of NEW RELIGION
Believer in Reincarnation of
Christ in Indian Tells
His Views.

The new religious creed Of universal
brotherhood. in which J. Krishnamurti.
Indian youth, is described as the Sec
ond incarnation of Christ, according
to the new dogma, was expounded
here last night before about 100 men,
bers of the Washington Liberal Cath
Ollie mission, at a meeting at the Play
house. 1914 N street. under the
auspices OF the Order Of the Star In
the East.
Admitting that he and his followers
are regarded as "heretics" by orthodox
faiths, Rev. Charles Hampton, Liberal
Catholic priest, of New York City.
who is minister Of the Church Of st.
Michael the Archangel, and who re-
presented Bishop Irving s. Cooper,
American spiritual head Of the order,
outlined the tenets Of the new faith.
Attacks Orthodox Creeds.
Speaking in a slow. studied manner.
Father Hampton attacked orthodox
creeds for their "narrowness" and
"exclusiveness, and prophesied that
the World Teacher would come again
soon, teaching a universal message TO
all men.
Father Hampton said that Christ. in
His second advent, may not stay in
the body of Krishnamurti all the time.
that He may also use other individu-
ais for the habitation of His spirit.
krishnamurti's followers believe that
Christ and Jesus were two distinct
entities; that Christ inhabited the Man
Jesus only the last three years of his
life. during his active ministry.
This may be a point difficult for
many Christians to accept" explained
Father Hampton. Yet some of the
early church fathers held that Jesus
and Christ were two distinct persons;
that Christ, the World Teacher, occu-
pied the body of Jesus during the
three years Of His public ministry: but
that He was not necessarily present
at every moment.
Is Not Now Christ.
Just in the same way, the public
must not imagine that Mr.. Krishna-
murti Is now the Christ. Nor need we
think that 1t is absolutely necessary
the World Teacher will remain with
him at every moment of the time-let
us say. when his body is asleep or trav-
cling, and He is not doing His work
as World Teacher. On the other hand
once the glory has descended upon
Mr.. krishnamurti. 1t may remain un-
interruptedly for many. many years,
instead of only for three years, as it
did before. We look upon the head OF
our order as discip!e-a wonderfully
pure and self-effacing disciple"
Attacking orthodox churches for
Keeping people out of them through
their 'dognlatic barriers. that Christ
did not erect" Father Hampton de-
clared:
DIR. Fosdick hit the nail on the
head when he described the absurd
claims to uniqueness that are made by
various churches. You start out. he
said. with the Church Of Christ then
a split comes and some break of and
call themselves the True Church of
Christ, later another division arises
and the result is that we have still
another that calls itself the Only True
Church of Christ All this has arisen
because the church never has been
universal enough. The world teacher
Is too Dig for any one denomination
He is far too universal"
With the second coming of the
World Teacher. Mr.. Krishnamurti's
followers believe. ell this narrow
mindedness will disappear.
One manifestation of this new life,
he said, would be change in the polit-
ical life. 1T may be considered
slightly humorous to think that any
one could clean up politics and aboi-
ish graft" he declared. Yet the time
is not far distant when young men
and women will enter politics Just
as the knights Of old entered the cru.
sades. Through that work they will
attain spiritual illumination"
Father Hampton announced that
plans are being prepared for the con-
struction Of an international univer.
sity at Hollywood. center of the
American church of the new order.
He said, however, that no plans are
now being considered for the erection
of a Liberal Catholic Church in
Washington. Victor Russell is head
OF the Washington Chapter of the
Order Of the Star in the East. George
NJ. NJ. Walker presided last night, and
the program was arranged by Sela L.
Paisley.
Father Hampton will be here two
days and will hold a private meeting
with followers of Krishnamurti to.
day. and tomorrow evening will ad-
dress the meeting OF the Theosoph-
ical Society, which IS a related order
