Attend Brethren Conference in l Pittsburgh

Todd Gem and Kevin Ramer, of the Union Center Church, and Gene and Linda Hipskind, from the Nappanee Church of the Brethren, were four of 1,050 delegates to the Church of the Brethren Annual Conference. The conference, the highest legislative authority of the denomination and a time for business, fellowship and inspiration, met June 2429 in Pittsburgh, Pa. In a hotly-debated item, the conference adopted a paper recognizing the “illegal actions of the United States in establishing the reign of the deposed Shah.” While calling on the U.S. government to “offer a public apology to the Iranian people for its complicity in the Shah’s repressive regime,” the delegates also called for the release of the American hostages by the Iranians, calling their captivity “illegal.” Responding to the return to registration, the conference reaffirmed the pacifist denomination's support for conscientious objection to military service and pledged support to persons who refuse to cooperate with registration for reasons of conscience.

discipleship to Jesus Christ. That paper also addressed stewardship of personal material and financial resources, and natural resources. Asked to examine dissension in a former mission church in India, now independent of the U.S.. church, the deiejpte body discussed the situation an entire day before voting to urge reconciliation between the parties in India and encouragement for the church in the U.S. to pray for the Indian groups. The discussion revealed widely disparate views on the role of the U.S. church in overseas mission, a discussion that will continue when the 1981 conference considers a philosophy statement on world missions. Scheduled to come before the conference this year, the report was carried over for another year for additional study. Another controversial topic, discussed this year but not to be acted upon until next year, is decreasing membership in the Church of the Brethren. The denomination has dropped from a record of 200,000 members to about 175,000 during the past 20 years. Business was only one part of the conference for the approximately 6,500 persons in attendance. Nightly worship, morning Bible study, exhibits, fellowship events, workshops on topics ranging from spiritual renewal to nuclear power were also featured.
