The Ohio Independent Baptist, December 1968

World Council Youth Department Publ ishes A ''Hymn''? Recently l:vhen in Anderson , In– diana ~·e read the following editorial in tl1e Anderson Herald. (Tuesday, Septe111ber 24, 1968). T/1e article is sickening, to sa} 1 the least. Ho-.,vever, we feel our readers shoc-1/d know how vile and filtl1)' so111e of these who are a part of t/1e World Council of Churches real /y are. - We run tJ1e article just as it ap– peared in The Anderson Herald. A HYM ?_ • The Yuma, Colorado Pioneer re– cently published the text of a ong found in " ew Hymns For A New Dav." This in itself is not so sur- ., pri ing except for the fact that the song wa found in a hymnal which wa published by the Youth Depart– ments of the World Council of Churche and the World Council on Christian Education. We have heard many remarks re– garding the World Council of Churches which held its Fourth World Assembly in Sweden recently. Some of the proposals and resolutions adopted there will be points of con– troversy for many months. So, with– out comment, we offer for our readers the text of the hymn published by the Pioneer.

One wonders how a truly ' 'born– agai n believer" can remain a part of a group that could fo ter something like thi ! Yet . . . many till remain in the American Bapti t Convention which i a part of thi World Council of Churches.
