Editor’s Note from June 19, 1970

Our readers will be especially pleased with the publication of the Frankfurt Declaration, which was brought to our attention by Donald McGavran of the School of World Mission at Fuller Seminary. Dr. McGavran wrote an introduction to the document for us. He was one of the most vocal critics of the Section II (“Renewal in Mission”) draft of the Uppsala assembly of the World Council of Churches (see August 16, 1968, issue, pages 4–7) and helped to bring about important changes in the final document.

W. Stanford Reid distinguishes between a true and a false humanism, relating the latter to current patterns of thought advocated by Sartre and Freudians. Clark Pinnock’s essay will cheer those who long ago concluded that dialectical theology ends up in pure subjectivism. He calls for a return to evangelical theology as the only viable alternative. Klaas Runia refutes the notion that Christians ought to be other-worldly and thus not interested in culture. He appeals for solid and persistent efforts by evangelicals to bring culture more in line with the Word of God.

Readers will look forward to seeing the films of Billy Graham’s Knoxville crusade, which has just ended. The films will be telecast this summer.

Kudos to J. Howard Pew, eighty-eight-year-old-member of our board, who received the William Penn Award in Philadelphia a few weeks ago. Mr. Pew was cited for his “monumental contribution to the well-being of this region.”
