UNITY MEETING AT CANE RIDGE

Again we would remind you to attend the Third Annual Unity Forum to be held at Winchester, Ky., July 58. Since the date includes the Fourth of July holiday, it is ideal time for a family vacation in a most stimulating environment.

There will be things for children to do, and for all of us there will be an exciting pilgrimage to Cane Ridge, the birthplace of one branch of the Restoration Movement. It was there that Barton W. Stone struggled for truths that led him eventually to join forces with Alexander Campbell. In 1832 the two tributaries, the Stoneites, known as Christians, and the Campbellites, known as Disciples, united their forces in what proved to be the first major church unification in American history. We have not done too well since then.

But we’ll be doing something like that in July at Winchester, for representatives from nearly all the major groups of our Movement will be together in a spirit of searching, studying, praying, sharing.

No tuition and no restrictions. And the charges for room and board at Southeastern Christian College, which hosts the affair along with the local Church of Christ and Christian Church, will be modest. Write to President Lavern Houtz at the college for reservation.
