Three Churches May Unite In Dayton Federation Talk
Dayton O Jan 23 Special This city prepares for a notable church gathering two weeks hence when a general council of the Methodist Protestant Congregational and United Brethren churches meets to discuss federation. The move could reduce Protestant division and define union scope. Some seek practical benevolence education and publishing ties, while organic union is viewed as unlikely for now. The union would create a religious body over one million strong with Congregational and United Brethren resources and missions.
