MAGYAR EGYHÁZ 9 the living out of these convictions in every part of the world, and to use to the full the great opportunities which God is granting the ecumenical movement in this generation. We believe that churches and their congregations as well as individual Christians should seize the new possibilities of personal contact, of frank conversation, of prayer together and of co-operation in common Christian tasks with fellow Christians of whatever confession. We warmly invite those churches outside our membership to consider how they might be able to enter into this kind of fellowship. Since all churches have a great responsibility towards each other and can learn from the renewal which is granted to others we encourage them to co-operate more and more in service to the world in the name of Christ, the Lord of all.” Our denomination participates in this world-wide relief operation responding to human need. Brochures, flyers and offering envelopes have been sent out to all congregations. It is requested that the treasurers of the congregations remit the proceeds of this offering in one sum to Mr. Albert St. Miklossy, Treasurer of the Mission Fund, 23 Evergreen Avenue, Fords, New Jersey.
