| "Fellowship of Reconciliation"
a Portentous New Movement jj
!» Many Religious Leaders Adopt a Radical Step For i|
World Peace and Unity; Daring to Accept Love's !!
Law , j|
;! (By the Religious Rambler) | I
For several months there has been j
quietly spreading In this country and i
abroad a new movement that aims |
at world peace and new fraternity be
tween the warring nations. It is not
merely one more peace plan. In
stead, It lays down a religious basis
so fundamental that many active
Christians feel toward It as conven
tional churchmen must have felt to
ward the basis laid down by Francis
of Assissi.
The promoter of the Fellowship In
America is Dr. Henry T. Hodgkin, a
British Friend, long a missionary In
China, and one of the influential
figures at the Edinburgh World's
Missionary Conference. He is a
member of that body's "Continuation
Committee" which is a sort, of high
court of Protestantism, and of the
World's Christian Student Federation.
Dr. Hodgkin has lately spent two
months in this country, enlisting Am
ericans In the Fellowship. It is known
that many men and women of nation
al prominence have united with Dr.
Hodgkin, but the movement purposely
abstains from the use of a list of 1
names. There is no effort being made
for what is called "a large Inactive i
membership." Headquarters have
been opened at 125 East Twenty-
Seventh street, New York City.
Accepting a I /aw of TJOVO
The story of the formation of the
Fellowship of Reconciliation in this
country is best told in the words of
one of Its own active men: "This step
has been taken by a group of men
and women following a two-day con
ference recently held at Garden City, ■
l.ong Island. Those who attended |
the conference, though representing
various faiths, were drawn together
by a common feeling that the time
was ripe for a deeper interpretation
of the Christian Message. They were
distressed not only over the tragedy
of the war but over many present so
cial conditions, as well, and were dis
turbed by the confused utterance of
churches and Christian leaders. After
the most serious consideration of
what was involved, the conference ex
pressed its conviction that love as re- i
i vealed in the life and death of Jesus
Christ lg the only sufficient basis of
I human society, that It Is the only
power by which evil can be overcome
and that in order to establish society
upon such a basis those who believe
in this principle must accept It fully
and dedicate themselves unreservedly
to the enthronement of Love in every
sphere of personal and social life.
"The movement thus launched dif
ferentiates itself from others oc
casioned by the war in certain parti
culars which arrest attention. It It
obviously not simply an addition to
the already lons list of peace so- '
ciettes. While there is no doubt that,
the members of the Fellowship stand
absolutely against war, the acceptance
of the spirit of Christ as the only
sufficient basis of society clearly in
volves for them very much more than
opposition to war. Their view was
not as an isolated phenomenon but
as only one out of many unliappv
consequences of the spiritual poverty
of society. While the question of
war may at the present, time be the
most serious and most, pressing prob
lem confronting them, they conceive
their task to be no less than a com
mon quest after an order of society
in accordance with the mind of
Christ.
"Not a Protest, But a Power"
"So great a purpose, seriously un
dertaken, necessarily implies that the
Fellowship is not. to be primarily a
protest, but a power. Its reason for
existence is not in the letter which
billet h, but in the spirit which
quickeneth. To those who take this
position It seems that 110 amount of
negation, no iiteralistic theories of
nonresistance, no prohibitions of the
use of force, can cure our social dis
eases or eradicate war. The funda
mental need is a new discovery of
(Sod, a fresh return to the sources of
life, a preparation of living channels
of power. It is to this deeper work
1 that the Fellowship is dedicated.
"The Fellowship has 110 program
to offer as the 0110 path toward its
goal. It realizes that it is not. dealing
with a single problem, and that there
is no one exclusive way through
which the Spirit works. Its members
are not committed to an organization
or any propaganda, but are devoted
to the expression of principles, a
spirit and a mestfogc.
"Nor are the members of the Fel
lowship under any delusion as to the
extent Of the gulf between the pres
ent state of society and the ideal con
ceived. Yet they squarely differ from
those who hold that individuals are
thereby excused from attempting the
immediate realization of that ideal.*
To tie members of the Fellowship
the very failure of the world to ac
cept these principles constitutes the
challenge to apply them unflinchingly
here and now in every relationship.
Only by such dally faithfulness, they
are convinced, can the spirit of love
be woven into the very fabric of per
sonal and social life.
Reconciliation by Reconstruction
From the foregoing It will be seen
that the Fellowship is as radical as
any of the great religious Reforma
tions. For it would reconstruct the
church's entire practices, In the mat
ter of human relationship. The for
mal platform states the case more
concretely:—
"After prolonged thought /and con
ference, wishing to bind
themselves to any exact form of
words, they recorded their general
agreement on the following points:—
"1. That Love, as revealed and in
terpreted In the life and death of
.Tesus Christ, Involves more than we
have yet seen, that it is the only
power by which evil can be ovorconie,
and the only sufficient basis of human
society. ,
"2. That, in order to establish a
world-order based on Love, it. is !n
--cumbent upon those who believe in
this principle to accept it fully, both
for themselves and in their relation
to others, and to take the risks in
volved in doing so In a world which
docs not as yet accept it.
"3. That, therefore, as Christians,
we are forbidden to wage war, and
that our loyalty to our country, to
humanity, to the Church Universal,
and to Jesus Christ, our Lord and
Master, calls us Instead to a life
service for the enthronement of Love
in personal, social, commercial, na
tional, and international 11/e, with all
that this implies.
"4. That the Power, "Wisdom, and
Love of God stretch far beyond the
limits of our present experience, and
that He is ever waiting to break forth
into human life In new and larger
ways.
"5. That, since God manifests
Himself In the world through men
and women, we offer ourselves to Him
for His redemptive purpose, to he
used by Him in whatever way He may
reveal to us."
This movement Is one of the most
formidable signs of the fundamental
spiritual reconstruction of society,
brought about by the present world
tragedy. There is a timeliness in
herewith making public at Christmas
tide the program of a group of Chris
tians who- dare to trust all to Love.

Take the wide end of the tie with
