In a recent article in the Michigan Catholic, Monsignor F. Gerald Martin wrote about conversion and how we ask so \—; many questions about the "right /— way." He recognizes that in the end, it is not our thinking about the right track, "It's really God's question to answer." Last year in the church-synagogue tour sponsored by the Ecumenical In- stitute both the Lutheran min- ister and the Roman Catholic priest talked about making choices; but where Protestants D used to convert to Catholicism and vice versa, we now recognize people choose a worship style comfortable to them. The em- phasis increasingly in Christian circles is that those who are loy- al to God will find ways of living out that loyalty in a variety of situations. And that brings me to a final point. The problem with the ec- > umenical movement is that it has been organizational and so- cial at its heart. It has tried to deal with problems without deal- ing with the religious dimension, almost ruling that out in discus- sions. The more I have worked in ecumenism, the more I am aware that people whose com- mitment is to God and seek to live that commitment out in a variety of situations, are accept- ing of others and recognize a va- riety of ways for expressing that commitment. They are not dis- appointed by human failure. They are not threatened by those who think differently. They have patience, commitment to some- thing greater than the moment, and see themselves as a part of Tikkun Olam, the ongoing re- demption of the world. When missions to the Jews first came to America around 1800, the challenge to the Jew- ish community was to look with- in and find out why Christianity could be attractive to Jews. I have often emphasized that the real strength of dialogue is found in deepening one's own commit- ments. Yet the questions raised by the Southern Baptists are ex- tremely important for all of us. Having met far more Christians who have chosen Judaism than Jews who have chosen Chris- tianity, I think we have mutual questions. Have we adequately provided the opportunities for our children and youth to deal with their own faith? And final- ly, have we yet learned with Monsignor Martin that more is in the hands of God than our own understanding? May we have the courage to begin the real dialogue that is the basis of true mutuality. ❑ YOUR BELOW WHOLESALE DEPARTMENT STORE!
