THE REV. ROGER BURTNER Church World Service Chief Unity Speaker The Kittanning Ministerial Association, will hold a Christian Unity Service at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, N. Water St.

For the last decade, it has been customary in communities across the land to have this-service, with its emphasis on world hunger, sometime in January, the Rev. Harold Hess of St. Luke's United Church of Christ, said. Guest speaker will the Rev. Roger Burtner, who serves as regional director of CROP the Community Hunger Appeal of Church World Service.

Liturgists for portions of the simple basic worship service will be the Rev. John Cindric of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, the Rev. Roger Rulong of the First United Methodist Church; and the Rev. Roger Butler of the host church.

At 3 p.m. that afternoon, Mr. Burtner will meet with the youth of the various churches at the First Baptist After presenting the world hunger situation, it is hoped the speaker can organize a "Walk for World Hunger," for this spring. Both events were planned by the Ecumenical Ministries committee chaired by Mr. Hess, who said members Of participating churches will be challenged to make personal 'commitments.

It is felt these commitments, which can be made from several options dealing with wortd; unoergird community efforts as "Meals on Wheels" and proposed "Walk for Hunger." Mr. Hess said most churches are already implementing such programs nationally and locally, and these will stress' fasting and sacrificial service. The. theme chosen by Mr. Burtner for the evening sermon is "Satyagraha, of Seveni Modern 1 Prophets;" Biographical material submitted by Mr.

Burtner shows he is an ordained minister of the United Methodist Church. A missionary, he served in Nigeria for six years. 1 Mr. Burtner is quoted as saying, "Either we as a nation and as a people rise to the task of offering a helping hand in a new concept of sacrifice oh our part, or we shall surely "Nigeria, 1 and nations like her, including Bangladesh, desperately needs our but no more desperately than we, as. the world's most affluent nation, need to help her."

Friday, 17, W5 B) DAVID TPI Writer of the indelible marks of the Christian church faith since its earliest. days as an organization is' a tendency toward schism and division. Before the church is even two 'generations old. according to the book of Acts, there is debate over! the increasing conversion of Gentiles and whether or not they should be circumcised and the apostle Paul journeys to Jerusalem to help reconcile the feuding factions. Since then, doctrinal differences, organizational disputes and liturgical divisions have all taken their toll, resulting in the present array of denominations and sects that present to many the image of a fractured faith.

Equally as primary as the tendency toward division, however, has been the longing for unity even though it has been more difficult to overcome division than it has been to divide. Next week, Christians around world who still long for unity and look for the day when, as in the'prayer of Christ "all will be one," mark the Week of Prayer for.Christian Unity. It will be the 67th consecutive observance of Unity Week and as church members throughout the world come together in a variety of ways to testify to the fragile unity that already exists. This year's theme, "Reconciled by the Christ who renews, frees and unites," plays off the focus of both the Roman Catholic Holy Year to be marked in 1975 and the Fifth Assembly of the World Council of scheduled for Nairobi, Kenya in December. Reconciliation, according to the Rev.

Arthur F. Gouthro, SA, director of the Graymoor Ecumenical Institute, is not only a key theme for Christians in 1975, "it is also at the heart of contemporary efforts to renew the Christian church." The unity week observances were essentially the work of Gouthro's predecessor, Fr. Paul Watt son, founder of the Friars and the a i a Institute. To suggest how far the unity movement has come in those decades, one only has to remember that Wattson's efforts were directed primarily at reunion of all Christians with the Roman Catholic church under papal authority.

have received a copy of the first draft of the National Catechetical Directory CNCD), a new book that is expected to set the tone for Catholic education for years to come. The massive task of mailing copies of the directory to every Catholic homeVo was accomplished as a cooperative venture of the Diocesan Office of Education and the Communications Office at the direction of Bishop William G. Connare. The NCD draft was in the form of a 48-page supplement to diocesan newspaper, the Catholic Accent. Because of its size and bulk, it was mailed separately to every home in the diocese.

The first draft of the NCD is intended for use by Catholics in a nation wide consultation on the proposed 1 norms and for religious education. Opinions and comments of all Catholics pn the document are being solicited. are being channeled to the national NCD committee through the Diocesan Office of Education. A first consultation on the directory was started last year and drew more than, 17,000 suggestions around the country. The second consultation, based on the actual draft mailed to diocesan Catholics, is expected to draw many times that amount.

Bishop Connare, in' asking members of his diocese to participate in the consultations, noted that "this opportunity for reaction by any and all concerned with religious education, especially parents, is most fortunate." He asked priests and religious of the diocese to join parents and teachers in making the consultation "a personal responsibility, a personal contribution to the Church in America, the People of God in these United States." When the first and subsequent drafts of the NCD are finally examined by the people and approved by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, it will be the official guide for the teaching of religion in the United States. A major goal of the current series of con, sultations is to have all parents, teachers, priests, religious and others interested provide input into the final document. At the diocesan level, a special NCD committee headed by Father Robert J. Shuda, director of the Office of Education, is assisting with the consultations. Any suggestions, revisions or changes in the document are to be sent to him by April 15.

Not until 1966, following the fresh air of Vatican did all interested'groups begin cooperating in Unity Week observances. In the United States, the week of prayer is not jointly sponsored by Graymoor and the Department of Faith and Order of the Protestant Orthodox National Council of Churches. year, the week of ecumenical observances comes at a time when much of the euphoria that marked the movement in the 1960s and early 1970s has evaporated. For one thing, the idea of a super-church, which many read to be the mandate of the nine Protestant denominations cooperating in the Consultation on Church Union (COCU) no longer seems to take hold of anyone's imagination. But COCU endures, and, recognizing that ecumenism to mean anything must have its roots on the local level, has begun an experiment with what it calls "generating communities." The communities are made up of cooperating local congregations which will test the strength and weaknesses of COCU's approach to church union.

Perhaps most important, however, in assessing the ecumenical movement on the eve of the week of Christian unity is to remember that 67 years ago when the observances began, churches prayed separately for unity. Today they are able to come together to offer up the prayer that "all wijl be one." Town Lutherans To Ad on Budget And Amendment The congregation of St. John's Lutheran Church, KiUanning, will have an annual meeting Sunday morning as part of the day's morning worship service. The 1975 budget, adopted by the Council and recommended to the congregation, will be presented. The church pastor, Dr.

Robert H. Thurau, said an amendment to the constitution will be proposed, along with a resolution having to do with congregational support of a capital funds campaign of the Old People's Home, Zelienople. Also on -the meeting agenda is receipt of reports, including those of the secretary of the church council, treasurer and pastor. Immediately after the meeting, expected to be called to order at 11:30 a.m., newly elected Council people will assume office. They are James Stiffler, Nancy Pierce, Betty Mattax and Dr.

Robert Lash. The church Council will have its organizing meeting the night of January 20. Dr. Thurau said copies of the Bulletin of Reports can be obtained any time during the week in the church office, parlor, or front narthex. Copies of the bulletin became available Sunday.

John 43 On the day following Simon Peter's welcome into the little band of Jesus' disciples, Jesus decided to return to Galilee, from whence he had come pn the way, gathered more followers. The first was Philip, whom Jesus especially called to his side. In turn, Philip brought Nathanael, of whom Jesus said at first meeting: "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is little guile." The new disciple asked Jesus how he knew him, and Jesus replied that even before Philip had called him, he had seen him beneath a fig tree.

Nathanael was awed but Jesus said: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under a fig tree, betievest thou, but I say to thee, thou shall see even greater things. MIRACLE AT ANA.
