Meet On Extensive o. - Merger Os Churches

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD— Leaders I of four major denominations ga-j thered here today for talks on the most extensive church merger that has ever reached the stage of serious negotiation. < Participating in the “explorato-) ry” conversations were represen-; tatives of the Methodist Church, the Protestant Episcopal Church, the United Church of Christ, and the United Presbyterian Church. Together they have more than 18 million members in 60,000 congregations across the United States. Delegates from the four bodies were meeting in closed session today and Tuesday at the College of preachers, on the grounds of Washington Cathedral. Spokesmen emphasized that no substantive decisions should be expected from the initial meeting, which will be concerned mainly with procedural problems, including a schedule for future sessions. Significant Milestone Despite its preliminary nature, today’s meeting was regarded by churchmen as a significant milestone in the Christian unity movement. The four denominations involved are not only among the nation's largest. They also represent widely differing traditions. Supporters of the merger proposal acknowledge that many difficult problems must be solved, ‘ and that it will take years of pa- | tient negotiation to work out a I plan of' union which has any chance of acceptance. But they feel that if this merger can be accomplished, it will be a major breakthrough toward reunion of the whole Christian family. Others to be Invited The participating groups have indicated that other denomina-
