Text transcribed from caption: PC-46167 CHARISMATIC RENEWAL IN JAPAN TOKYO -- Japanese Charismatics worship during an ecumenical Charismatic Renewal seminar held at Hatsudai Catholic Church in Tokyo. The seminar brought together Catholic and Protestant Charismatics from an estimated 35 denominations. It was one of a series of seminars held in Japan's major cities during October. The Rev. Lester A. Pritchard, director of Team Thrust Ministries of Vancouver, Canada, sponsoring organization of the Holy Spirit Seminars in Japan, told the seminar that while the Charismatic Renewal is an effort to teach spiritual unity, it is in no way an ecumenical movement. "Let's not try to make Pentecostals out of everybody,” he urged. "And let's not aim at making Catholics out of Protestants. No church has the whole truth. We must exchange pulpits. We seek not union but unity." (SEE ALSO RNS PHOTO PC-46166) Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO by Nell Kennedy (NK-JPN-10D-74-DS)

Text transcribed from caption: PC-46102 CATHOLIC-BAPTIST LIAISON NEWNAN, Ga. -- Father Wilfred (Will) Steinbacher (right), deep south regional worker for the Roman Catholic Glenmary Home Missioners, discusses his work as liaison between Catholics and Southern Baptists with two Baptist ministers. The Rev. Eugene Briscoe (left), state student secretary for the Georgia Baptist Convention, and the Rev. Willard Brown, pastor of the Macedonia Baptist Church in Newnan, Ga., look at a map of Christian denominations in the U.S. with Father Steinbacher. The liaison post is fairly new for Father Steinbacher but not for the Cincinnati-based Glenmary order, which has conducted a liaison program between Southern Baptists and Catholics for about seven years. "We're trying to create a sense of understanding between Baptists and Catholics, because there was widespread misunderstanding and mistrust between them," said Father Steinbacher, whose order was organized about 35 years ago to minister in town and country churches in the South, especially Appalachia. The Glenmary plan for creating Catholic-Baptist interchange, Father Steinbacher explained, has “three prongs" -- two of which are now underway. The basic "prong" is aimed at the grass roots, where Glenmary priests have sought to bring the laity and posters of both denominations together for dialogues. A typical form is a two-day meeting of about 40 people, which includes Baptist and Catholic worship services and a series of group discussions. Another "prong" has been the dialogues between Catholic and Baptist leaders over the past three years and a "prong" still in development would involve a theological dialogue involving subjects of mutual interest, scholarly papers and three or four days of discussion in depth on the things which Baptists and Catholics hold in common and the things on which they disagree.

Text transcribed from caption: PC-46086 LATIN METHODIST: SYNOD OF MAJOR INTEREST LA PAZ, Bolivia -- The Methodist Bishop of Bolivia is following the proceedings of the World Synod of Roman Catholic Bishops in Rome with more than cursory interest because the Synod's theme of evangelization "is especially significant for Latin America." “In reality," said Bishop Mortimer Arias, "this is an ecumenical search, because all of us, Roman Catholics and Protestants, are searching for an effective theology of evangelization of man in Latin America -- a theology that will liberate, humanize and conscientize Christians." The 50-year-old bishop said he hopes the Synod will "come to grips” with the theology of liberation, the theology developed in Latin America which seeks to penetrate the controversial area where the Gospel is applied to questions of social justice.

Text transcribed from caption: CJ-46156 TELLS U.S. JEWS: DIALOGUE A NECESSITY NEW YORK -- Archbishop Jean Jadot, the Apostolic Delegate in the U.S., chats with Leonard Yaseen (center), national co-chairman of the Interreligious Affairs Commission of the American Jewish Committee, and Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum (right), national director of interreligious affairs for the Committee in New York. Archbishop Jadot, Pope Paul VI's personal representative in the U.S., told representatives of all three branches of Judaism that the dialogue between Jews and Christians is "no longer a luxury, but a necessity" and that it should set an example of "fraternal understanding and love" for the whole human family. But he warned of a "gap” between the professionals who conduct the dialogues and the religious communities they represent, and declared that this gap must be eliminated.
