Communion With God Open to All May 23, 1970 Doily Northwestern. 12 Church-State Relation Tense (By the Rev. T. J. Schneider, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church) Our Father, thou in heaven above! These words are a poetic paraphrase of the Savior's answer to the disciples who asked Him to teach them how to pray.

He said, Thus shall ye pray: Our Father who art in heaven. What a piece of effrontery and daring that might appear to be, to lift one's voice to the great and mighty God of the world and heavens and ask him to use His almighty power in our interest and for our benefit Where is there a citizen of our country who would dare to make an entry in the great fice of the President of the United States and ask him to use his authority to gratify some wish of a citizen? Where is there a laborer in the ranks of the General Motors Company who would push his way into the office of the president of General Motors and lay his expectations before him? love and kindness as His children approach him in faith in the Christ. We pray He will forgive our transgressions and graciously hear our prayers. And while prayers spring quickly to our lips when we see days of trouble and when great and compelling needs prompt us to seek the help of God in affairs of this life, our most fervent prayers plead for the forgiveness of our sins and strengthening of our faith. History records the accounts of people who spent many hours in communication with God.

Dr. Martin Luther considered it extremely important and vital to use as much time as possible in private meditation. We often have only a few minutes or seconds, and then we must speculate as to whether communication is being sought. God guide each of us to pursue the kingdom that awaits us in eternity while we pray to our Father who is in heaven. But every Christian can come daily and hourly to the throne of grace with his prayer and petition and be sure of an audience, of a God who will listen.

The very fact that Jesus told his disciples to say their prayer in the same way that a child asks his father for something the child needs shows that even sinful people as we are may approach God with our petitions. It would be folly for a housemaid to break a dozen dishes through sheer carelessness and then ask for a special favor from the lady of the house. It may seem sheer folly for us who daily sin much and indeed deserve nothing but punishment to come to God with petitions for some favor, relief from sickness or some burden. But this is exactly what we can do because we are' speaking to our heavenly Father. A child can plead with his father even when the child has transgressed because the Father is loving and kind.

Our God possesses that same would be assured the assembly scheduled July 14-24 at Porto Al-egre, Brazil. Brazilian churchmen themselves have run into increasing trouble with the government. Eleven priests are in prison on charges of aiding revolutionaries, and a bishop has been indicted on subversion charges after publicly complaining that a parishoner was tortured while in army custody. In some other South American countries, including Paraguay and Columbia, there also have been rising tensions between churchmen and government. A Paraguayan bishop, Ramon Bogarin, a frequent critic of the government, says many Christians, including priests, have been "called Communists, subversive, guerrillas" for seeking reform of injust conditions.

The Paraguayan government some time ago shut down the Catholic weekly, Communidad, for its protests against alleged "persecution" of the Church. Two militant priests were expelled. Archbishop Mena Porta protested the alleged beating of three other priests. 700.000 African primary pupils rather than submit to the restrictions. An Anglican bishop in Rhodesia, Kenneth Skelton, told a spring meeting of the Christian Council of Churches: "If our nation's rulers pursue a policy which is at variance with our belief in God, we have no choice but to resist I believe we are soon going to face a trial of our faith In this coun-try-a trial that will test just how committed we are to Christ." Strains between church and state also were intensifying in several South American countries, particularly in Brazil, on the eve of a scheduled global assembly there this summer of the Lutheran World Federation.

A German Lutheran committee, voicing dismay at reports of "tortures and other atrocities" abridging human rights under Brazil's military regime, asked review of the decision to hold the meeting there. Federation officers were taking up the matter this week in Geneva, Switzerland, after efforts to ascertain if freedom of speech and personal security NEW YORK (AP) Storms are threatening between church and state in several countries in South America and Africa. The sharpest, open conflict seems to be building up in white-run Rhodesia. There, Protestant and Roman Catholic churchmen have asserted their defiance of a new land act dividing the country into blackand white areas and prohibiting racial mixing in church worship or institutional staffs without special permits. The Church "cannot in conscience and will not in practice accept any limitation of our freedom to deal with all people irrespective of race," the Catholic prelates have declared, calling the discriminatory laws "contrary to Christian faith." Anglican, Methodist and United churches subsequently took their stand with the Catholics in a common front challenging the regime's segregation policies and fund cuts for mission schools for Africans.

It will disobey a law requiring that they register as "voluntary organizations." They said they will close hospitals and mission schools involving 400,000 of Expect Option in Communion crept away from the traditional practice of only permitting priests to handle consecrated hosts. In many parishes of the coun try, including a number of parishes in the Green Bay diocese, lay persons have been authorized by bishops to distribute holy communion. Pentecostals Finding New Following Today Rev. T. J.

Schneider Baha'is Observe Birth of Faith Today, Baha'is of Oshkosh join with others of the world denomination in observing the 126th anniversary of the birth of the faith and declaration of the Bab. It was on this date in 1844 i Shiraz, Iran, a young man, known as the Bab, announced his mission as a prophet of God to herald the beginning of a new universal cycle and a new age for mankind. He asserted a greater prophet would fulfill the prophecies of all the great religions. The Bab and his teachings were persecuted by the Muslims. The promised one foretold by the Bab, Baha'is believe, is Baha'uTah, founder of the faith.

Baha'u'llah's name means "the glory of God." Since its beginning in 1844, the Baha'i Faith has spread to than 300 countries and territories. The founder's teachings are believed to be the divine remedy for the problems of this age. Today also is the birth date of Abdu'l-Baha, the eldest son of Baha'u'llah, who shared persecution with his father, and following his release from prison in 1908 visited Europe and United States. He died in 1921. Mt.

Carmel in the Holy Land, where there is a shrine containing the remains of the Bab, is world center of the Baha'i Faith. GREEN BAY It may not be long before Catholics in this country will be permitted to have communion wafers placed in their hands by priests rather than directly on the tongue. The option for communion in the hand is presently being exercised in France, Germany, and neighboring Canada as well as in half a dozen other countries, the Rev. Joseph M. Cham-plin, associate director of the Suggests Church Performing Two Great Functions Secretariat for the Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy, revealed here.

The proposed change, if approved by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in their meeting next November and ultimately by the Vatican, would represent a marked departure from the traditional Catholic Church practice which provided that only priests could touch consecreated hosts. "We need a lot of work on the grass roots level and we're asking the individual diocesan liturgical commissions to endorse the change, educate their people concerning it, and talk to their bishops about it," the Rev. Richard Lenarz, Madison, said. Communion in the hand is far more desirable now than ever before, Father Lenarz pointed out, since the recent changes in the rite of the mass which call said "Pentecostals believe they are multiplying because the Second Coming is near and God is pouring out His holy spirit." Fellowship SHEPHERDSVILLE, Ky. (UPI) An interdenominational group called "Fellowship of Concern" has been formed here to provide emergency financial aid to needy persons.

Ministers and laymen from six denominations banded together to lend a helping hand to the poor in their communities until they can be cared for by an official community or welfare agency. The group, which receives donations from individuals and businesses, meets monthly to review requests for assistance. 2,000,000 attend Pentecostal churches in the U.S., according to the WCC. The Times article asserts that "Pentecostalism has developed into the world's fastest-growing Christian denomination at a time when membership in most other churches is declining as a proportion of the population." The article also says that Pentecostal influence is being felt in "mainline" churches. The Times quoted Walter J.

Hollenwerger, author of Handbook of Pentecostalism, as saying that the movement "can adapt itself to the mainline churches, adopting a funda-mentalistic theology and a written liturgy, or it can shape a genuine poor people's theology, a post-literary liturgy, a non-borgeors social and political program." The Times article A segment of world Christianity that heretofore has not been regarded in many church cir-c 1 as influential is experiencing rapid growth, according to an authoritative report in The New York Times. Presented under the headline, "Pentecostal Movement Rapidly Finding New Adherents," the Times article says that "Pente-costalism, a faith once dsi-missed by the major churches as primtiive and marginal, is rapidly becoming a 'third force' in world Christianity along with Protestantism and Roman Catholicism." The article quotes the World Council of Churches as saying there are at least 15,000,000 Pentecostals and perhaps as many as 35,000,000. They are growing most rapidly in Italy, Russia, France and Scandi-n a i a and an estimated tion. Instead of the church being a goad to conscience, it tends to lull the conscience by helping those with unshared privilege feel they earned it and therefore deserve to enjoy it. The second major function of the church, it seems is 'sacra-lizing' function.

Man is a great myth maker. When religion is cozy with the power arrangement, it becomes the major instrumentality through which myths are created, made sacred and inviolable. If one is not careful, if he is in religious work, he helps create the myths through which those in power further enslave the powerless." Sometimes one wonders if the church is not now performing two great functions for the power segment of the society, Dr. Dan W. Dodson, professor of education at New York University told a United Methodist New and Furloughed Missionary Conference at Green-castle, Ind.

"The first," he said, "is that it provides legitimacy for the privilege which the haves possess which is not shared. As people gain affluence and rise in status, they become anxious because they are not really sure they deserve what they enjoy. The church provides legitima Grace Lutheran Choirs Will Sing Grade Lutheran congregation celebrate Trinity Sunday in special services Sunday at 8 and 10:30 a.m., with the three choirs presenting a song service, singing selections from throughout the church year.

THEY NEVER QUITE LEAVE US They never quite leave us, our friends who have passed Through the shadows of death to the sunlight above; A thousand sweet memories are holding them fast To the places they blessed with their presence and love. The work which they left and the books which they read Speak mutely, though still with an eloquence rare, And the songs that they sang, the words that they said, Yet linger and sigh on the desolate air. And oft when alone, and oft in the throng, Or when evil allures us, or sin draweth nigh, A whisper comes gently, "Nay, do not the wrong," And we feel that our weakness is pitied on high. Margaret E. Songster The new veterans' flag unfurled today is flown in memory of Mr.

James Clark, Mr. Clark will long be remembered for his contribution to the Osh-, kosh Warriors. The flag will be raised and by members of the Navy and Army Reserve as the Oshkosh Warriors stand at attention.

The Rev. Peter Scheuermann, pastor. Sunday school at 10 a Worship service at 11 a m. Wednesday al 7:30 p.m., midweek service, Lutheran Man lives by faith. Without it he would die.

Since the beginning of time his faith has led him to search for a spiritual union, the understanding of the mysteries of life and the acceptance of death. In the course of that search he has founded many religions, some of which have lived and some of which have died. The ones that have lived have had an influence on the world and on each other. The living influential religions have many similarities and many differences, some of which are fundamental. Along with the search for spiritual union, our world has grown smaller due to the speed of travel and communication.

A hundred years ago there were people living in our country whose nearest neighbor was 24 hours away. Today our most distant neighbor is only 24 hours away and we can be in voice communication with him in a matter of minutes. The population of our shrinking world is about three and one half billion people and increasing by millions every year. More than ever it behooves us to intensify our search for tolerance, understanding and unity that a deep abiding faith can give. In the next few weeks this column will review the influential religions of the world and their founders.

In the light of our shrinking world it is imperative that unity and mutual responsibility must come to the defense of our common faith in the brotherhood of man. AP Newsfeatures PIACI, 240 W. Ninth Av. -The Rev. I.
