Christinn-Jewish Council
Great Britain has already ex-
perienced those phases Of the
movement for cohesion among re-
ligious groups which involve unity
and cooperation among Protes-
tants. and joint action by Protes-
tants and Catholics. This week II
reached the phase involving COL
alteration between Catholics, Pro-
tsstants and Jews. The formation
Of the British Council Of Christians
and Jews was officially announced
In London.
The new council. will not only
combat religious and racial intol-
erance and promote mutual under
standing and good will between
Christians and Jews. but II viii
also foster cooperation between
Christians and Jews In solving the
problems Of postwar reconstruc-
ton. thus widening the area of
cooperation In connection with
postwar planning. In which reli-
gious groups In England have set
m example to the world.
There were signs this week that
religious leaders In the Unite
States are determined 10 catch up
with the British trend. The Jesuit
weekly. America. which frequently
sets the pace for Roman Catholic
action. devoted 4 leading editorial
TO the subject Of cooperation with

Criticizes Lutheran Isolation
A development regarded rs be-
ing Of unusual significance also
occurred when the head Of q Luth-
eran theological seminary criti-
cixed the Lutheran policy Of aloof-
ness from other Christians. Ad-
dressing . convention of Lutheran
editors and publishing house man
ayers At Rock Island, H., this
week. DR.. Conrad ]. Bergcndoff,
president of Augustana college
and Theological seminary, called
upon Lutherans to "act different
~ In the future than In the past"
He said the practice Of isolation
may have proved satisfactory In
the Scandinavian countries where
ps per cent of the citizens are
Lutherans. but not In this country.
He charged that the Lutheran
church In not ready TO face a tre-
mendously changed post war
world.
This criticism of Lutheran pol
Icy by an outstanding leader OF
the communion In regarded with
interest for several reasons: First,
1t may help to reopen the ques-
ton Of Lutheran "aloofness" from
other religious groups. Secondly.
there In = growing feeling In
circles that the American
Lutheran churches. together with
the churches Of the Scandinavian
countries, win have to play an
role In the reconstruc-
ton and redirection Of the Luth-
eran church in Germany after the
war.
Some 60 20 far a. 10 hope that
the influence Of American Luth-
Grams win be towards effecting a
separation Of church and state IN
Germany. But the more modest
hope Is that the American and
Scandinavian churches may infuse
the German church with liberal
and democratic ideas and help to
arouse In the reich church q So
cial consciousness which Ia said TO
have been lacking heretofore.
