The Church's Job

The Church has bungled its job of reigious education. Such is the verdict of o Protestant chaplains who met in Washington, D.C. last week at the invitation of he Federal Council of Churches.

The chaplains had all been in war heaters and their battlefront experiences lad convinced them that the Church needs renewed warnings: | Organized religion has allowed church members to remain religious illiterates. The trouble probably lies in an indirectivay of teaching with high-sounding theo-ogical terms instead of plain talk, which he chaplains found more effective. Hence-orth, civilian clergymen will have to be )etter trained in modern educational methods.

P: Returning servicemen are coldly undenominational. They are hungry for religious faith; but denominational hair-plitting only confuses and bores them.
