women, White and Black boys and
girls from the far-flung places Of the
world, representing Japan. China.

Each scanning to recognize the pres.
ence Of the one God and Father Of
all mankind. To me this was a true
picture of Gods Kingdom here on
earth.
To be identified with the Episco.
pal Church is to be identified with
a great and rich heritage. May we
remember that this great church Of
ours is not made of brick and stone,
but of christian men and women.
If this is true, then a great respon-
sibility rests upon members of the
church. Let us not forget, that we
are one great family of the Living
God who made us all alike organi-
cally, humanity and intentionally.
We are alike in sickness, sorrow, joy
trials, tribulations, disappointments
and the like. We boast of living in
a democratic age, but the only true
democracy is in death
We as christian people are faced
with a great responsibility. so we
must as such, work toward an in.
creasing of each other because mis-
understanding is as great block to
tolerance and intolerance and re-
sentiment go hand In hand.
AS church workers here in our
own diocese, / feel that we have
made a great step forward towards
unifying Gods plan. May we not
forget that our honor and our life
are inseperable. Take away honor.
