...Philip Embury and a handful of John Wesley's disciples organized the first New World preaching societies of Methodism, which then was merely a dissident Anglican sect. Last week more than 2,300 modern Methodists, including 40 bishops, were on hand in Baltimore to celebrate their church's entry into its third century. Confidently, the delegates buried a stainless-steel time capsule in Mount Olivet Cemetery, to be opened by tricentennial-celebrating Methodists...
...problem?how do men talk of God in the context of a culture that rejects the transcendent, the beyond??that theologians today are turning. In part, this reflects popular demand and pastoral need. "God is the question that interests laymen the most," says David Edwards, editor of the Anglican SCM Press. Last month the University of Colorado sponsored a teach-in on God, featuring William Hamilton and Dr. George Forell of the University of Iowa's School of Religion; more than 1,700 people showed up for the seven-hour session?a greater turnout than for a recent similar...
...Anglican Theologian David Jenkins points out that the prestige of science is so great that its standards have seeped into other areas of life; in effect, knowledge has become that which can be known by scientific study?and what cannot be known that way somehow seems uninteresting, unreal.

...Perhaps the most enthusiastic propagandists for a new image of God are the Tweedledum and Tweedledee of Anglican theology, Bishop Robinson of Woolwich, England, and Bishop James A. Pike of California. Both endorse the late Paul Tillich's concept of God as "the ground of being." Pike, who thinks that the church should have fewer but better dogmas, also suggests that the church should abandon the Trinity, on the ground that it really seems to be preaching three Gods instead of one. Christianity, in his view, should stop attributing specific actions to persons of the Trinity?creation to the Father...
...establishment of a joint permanent theological dialogue to study ways to resolve what Canterbury called "the formidable difficulties of doctrine" that separate the two churches: papal supremacy and infallibility, the bodily ascension of Mary into heaven, the refusal of the Roman church to recognize the validity of Anglican holy orders, the insistence by some Roman Catholic priests that converts from the Anglican Church must be rebaptized. Ramsey also said bluntly that his church found Paul's easing of Catholic rules on mixed marriages (TIME, March 25) unsatisfactory to Anglicans-presumably because the Roman church still insists on marriage before...
