First sentence: INTRODUCTION:
In what is broadly spoken of as the Protestant world there are two dynamic and significant movements.  One is called the Ecumenical Movement, the call to unite all churches into one on the loosest possible platform.  This is represented and recommended, in its broader aspects and present development, in the United States by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America.  The other is called the New Reformation, or Twentieth Century Reformation, the call for all of God's people to stand together on the platform of the historic Christian church against the widespread apostasy in the church today.  This movement is represented by the rapidly growing American Council of Christian Churches.
The purpose of this discussion is to present in broad outline the real issues involved in these movements, the principles upon which they are based, the nature of their leadership, the conflict between the two, and the direction in which they are moving.
The forces that are behind the Ecumenical Movement have been long established; they are well-entrenched, and their propaganda agencies are doing a subtle job.  The Twentieth Century Reformation, on the other hand, represents groups that have been disorganized by the ecumenical blitz, but have been rallied.  They are now standing together in a well-disciplined force.  The differences between these two movements are irreconcilable, and concern the most vital issues of the Christian faith.  The two forces are now actively engaged in battle.
Description: Presents the real issues involved in the movements which gave rise to the organization of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America and the American Council of Christian Churches.  cf. Introduction.
