North Bennington pastor Rev. William Abernethy told Bennington Rotary that ecumenism should harness religious commitment to unity rather than discord. He warned against sacrificing conviction or creating bureaucratic superstructures, and urged unity not uniformity. He reviewed the Bennington Religious Education Foundation’s ecumenical programs and noted trialogues among Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish laymen.
