Freed-Hardeman sets discussion on unity
HENDERSON, TENN — Freed-Hardeman University will host a public discussion Oct. 14 on unity efforts after a century of division between a cappella Churches of Christ and instrumental Christian Churches. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Freed-Hardeman. The discussion on “What Will It Take to Be Together Again?” will feature Ralph Gilmore, a Bible professor at Freed-Hardeman, and David Faust, president of Cincinnati Christian University, which is associated with instrumental Christian Churches.
Gilmore said he sees the discussion as a plea for unity.
“I would like for us to be able to worship together again,” Gilmore said. “And I would like to think that, for the sake of unity, they would lay the instrument aside.”
Faust, who served as president of the North American Christian Convention in June, is a major advocate of increased cooperation between the two groups.
“We must be willing to dialogue respectfully about what we believe, what we have in common and even what we disagree about,” Faust said.
