ECUMENICAL INSTITUTE
Religious theme in celebration
An Ecumenical Institute led by three theologians who are among the nation's best interpreters of the ecumenical movement is planned as a major KU centennial event.
Prophets to be named by university
KU will name an honor roll of prophets during its centennial celebration.
The roll will pay tribute to human beings who have demonstrated exceptional vision in the past century and will be announced before the end of the semester.
Criteria for selection are specific aets or accomplishments in human prophecy—such as books, essays, speeches, plays, discoveries, and pronouncements of other achievements demonstrating far-sightedness—that proved valuable in helping man or society cope with the future.
The persons to be honored may be living or dead, American or foreign, drawn from any walk of life. They were nominated by faculty, alumni, students and other Lawrence citizens.
KU centennial medallions will be presented to living members of the honor roll.
William Conboy, chairman of the program committee and of the Speech and Drama Department, said nominations ranged from the world scene to prophecies affecting KU and the state of Kansas.
Clergymen from several states are being invited to the May 1-3 institute that will explore the new mood of cooperation in American religion.
ALL THREE of the theologians were at the recent Ecumenical Council at the Vatican. They are Dr. Joseph Sittler, professor of theology at the University of Chicago; Father Dan O'Hanlan, professor of theology at Alma College, Los Gatos, Calif.; and Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, New York, director of Interreligious Affairs of the American Jewish Committee.
Rabbi Tanenbaum, who attended the Vatican Council as an observer, has the reputation of being the best-informed Jew on the fine points of ecumenical discussion. He was one of three clergymen who discussed religion in American life in a recent series of articles in Playboy magazine.
Both Dr. Sittler and Father O'Hanlon have been deeply involved in the current Protestant-Catholic dialogue. Dr. Sittler has written extensively on Christian ethics and contemporary thought, and Father O'Hanlan has been desscribed by fellow Catholic
leaders as perhaps the movement's best spokesman in this country.
They will be supported by numerous theological scholars from this region in an attempt to assess what is happening and what will happen to religion in American life.
STUDY GROUPS will consider how the new mood of cooperation is related to such topics as marriage and the family, the doctrine of authority, religious liberty and social action.
Purpose of the institute is to clarify thought about the ecumenical movement and to consider the most recent developments, such as the Vatican Council, according to William J. Moore, dean of the Kansas School of Religion, co-sponsor with KU of the Institute.
Cooperating organizations to date include several campus groups, Central Baptist Seminary and St. Paul's School of Theology, Kansas City; St. Mary's College; the Kansas City Council of Churches; the Kansas City office of the National Conference of Christians and Jews; and Lawrence and Douglas County ministerial groups.
