Our Changed Chapel Policy At the Regents' meeting held on June 1 0 , the following resolution with respect to chapel attendance was ap proved: "WHEREAS, Chapel attendance has long been considered a vital part of the religi­ ous life and experience of the students and faculty of Pacific Lutheran University; and "WHEREAS, during recent years a great deal of thoughtful and p rayerful concern has been devoted to efforts to adapt poli­ cies in the light of increasing enrollments, as well as c hanging attitudes; a n d "WHEREAS, t h e Board of Regents has expressed a vital concern in wo rking to­ ward a program of positive voluntarism and has urged the faculty, administration and student body to work creatively toward this end;

responsible v o luntarism by doing every­ thing possible to inspire respect for Chapel, to beautify and intensify its pur­ pose and meaning, and to cultivate the fullest possible atten datlce on the part of the entire academic c o mmunity." It would be easy to w rite a very lengthy article dealing with the history and various im portant aspects of this decision; but such an a rticle would be essentially point­ less. I shall, therefo re, attempt to make my statement as brief and factual as pos­ sible. That the resolution will be received with a feeling of varying degrees of regret by many people goes almost witho ut saying. They willi feel that something very impor­ tant has been lost which possibly can never again be recovered. I hap pen per­ sonally to hold this view strongly, but I think I understand my reactions sufficiently well to recognize that the kind of d isci­ p line which I feel is essential in my own life is not any longer accepted as either necessary or desirable by a great many th oughtful and responsible peo p le.

"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED,

1 ) That henceforth Chapel for all students and faculty is on an expected and earn­ estly urged basis; and 2) That the administration, c haplains, reli­ gious activities c o m mittee, faculty a n d students b e asked to seek divine guid­ ance as they face the challenge of

Anyone who knows me intimately knows t h at I have struggled and prayed cease­ lessly d uring my six years at P LU to at­ tempt to make required chapel (I have steadfastly refused to say compulsory) so ap pealing as 10 awuse a favorable response from students and faculty alike. No one knows more certainly than I that I, together with those who have sup ported my efforts, have failed. Recognizing failure is usually the better part of wisdom. The resolution, on the other hand, wil,1 be received with approbation by a great many peop le-not because they are basic­ ally opposed to chapel, but because they are convinced that any element whatever of compulsion related to the concept of worship is destruotive of the very purpose of wors h i p. Although I can debate this view, I respect the i n tegrity of most of those who hold it. Even while they have o p posed the required chapel rule, they have contin ued to support the program by their personal attendance. The ability of the University to require atten dance deteriorated s harply when the en rollment of the Un iversity exceeded the capacity of the c h a pel. This began to pre­ vail about six or eight years ago-at the time our student body reached the figure of 1 , 1 50. When we were no longer able to assemble all students and faculty members in the chapel, we considered the idea of alternate days for different gwups; but, we found it unfeasible. We attempted for two years to have simultaneous serv ices in Eastvold Chapel and Trinity Lutheran Church, d i vid ing the students into upper and lower div isions. Ver'y soon it was evi­ dent the system did not work, for it was impossible to enforce. We could not find the hundr'eds of man hours of counseling essent ial to an effort to persuade recal­ citrant students of the desirability of at­ ten d i ng chapel. Most of all, we could not

eliminate the negative factors of the argu­ ment that any kind of compulsion is antag­ onistic to worship. We next attempted a system of volun­ tary attendance for the up per classmen, hoping their response would lead to the ha p py conclusion that voluntarism wou l d work. I t didn't, but it exacerbated the problem of required attendance for the freshmen and sophomores. Students are people whether at home or at the University. Therefore, j ust as you cannot force young people suc cessfully to attend church services in a thousand churches across the land, you ap parently cannot com pel them to attend chapel on a college campus - espec ially d ur1ing a period of swiftly growing demands for more and more freedom from all kinds of restraints. And even though you try valiantly to per­ suade, you can be defeated by the simple fact that c hapel can be boycotted even by the students who are in attendance. All they have to do is turn their attention to other things than the service; and this tactic, regrettably, became inc reasingly evi dent as the months went by. The c ur­ rent generation of students is anything but docile; in many respects, this is good. All 'learning i nvolves intelligent and respon­ sible personal reactions. Now we face a new day. The greatest challenge, worshipfully speaking, which the students and faculty have ever faced is before them. Since there is no chapel requirement-only serious expectation of attendance-everyone is in a posi tion to respond with responsible purpose and dedication. This will require hard , serious, prayerful effort and concern on the part of all thoughtful members of our community. Chapel can quietly decline in importance, or it can become a new and ric her experi­ ence than it has been.

academic year. Although his term does not expire until 1972, the regents with deep regret acceded to his wish to retire ef­ fective Aug u st 31, 1969. Dr. Mortvedt, who will be 66 in N ovem­ ber, told the regents, " I am convinced that only a yo unger man can give the leader­ ship the University will need as it attempts creatively to meet the challenges im­ mediately ahead." "The University has reached a point in its development where some crucially im­ portant decisions must be made with respect to its future. I feel that the man who will be expected to lead the institu­ tion through this stage must be here to develop the plans, the strategy and the implementation," he said. Earl E. Ec kstro m , regents chairman, stated that the board has been extremely pleased with the outstanding and dedi­ cated leadership of President Mortvedt. "He came to us at a crUCial time in our history, and we thank God for the signifi­ cant ad vances w h i ch have been made d u r­ ing his presidency," he said. Following the surprise announcement, the regents instructed the executive com­ mittee to start the mechanics of obtaining a successor. This includes notifying the American Lutheran Church which will call for nominations and the PLU fac ulty which will appoint a screening committee. Dr. Mortvedt said that he and h is wife have purchased property in Gig Harbor (near Tacoma) and will build a home there. President Mo rtvedt told the regents of the preSSing need for additional facilities for science and music �nstruction. The re­ gents set a target date of 1969-70 for these additions to p resent facilities, and directed three of its working committees to conduct feasibility studies and make fund raiSing plans for the two to three mill ion dollar project.

Many of us, students and faculty alike, pray for the latter. We believe the one really potentially unifying force on our campus is worship. We believe worship is a vitally essential element in Christian experience; In fact, there can be no Chris­ tian experience witho u t worship. We shall do o u r utmost to make chapel a meaningful experience with overtones of beauty. searching inquiry, opportunities for medilation - all within the enduring invitation to "Listen and know that I am God."

President Mortvedl 10 Retire

Announcement of the forthcoming retire­ ment of President Robert Mortvedt came when this issue of Reflections was going to the printer. D r. Mortvedt, who has been president of PLU since 1962, told the board of regents at its Sept. 1 0 meeting that he desired to retire at the end of the current

o f the many deno min­


and liturgies that there is no unity Such a view is a distortion of the New Testament itself. In its writings, variety in the Chris­ tian Church is already evident. The differ­ ences among James, Paul, and Peter are pla inly shown early in Christian history. Yet, there was unity. It was the unity the Church knows in Christ. In Christ is the true unity of the Churc h. Since it abides there, the true u n ity of the Church cannot ultimately be de str o yed. In t h e light of this truth, the W.C. C. is not at te mpt in g to cre­ ate unity but to express th e unity which God has already given His Church in .

Openmg Procession

Yet, the re may be a nother way to ap­ proach this question. Though the W C C . is not the Church, may it not display the marks of t h e Church ? Since it is made up of the churches, e ac h is itself an expres­ sion of the true Church, it may be assumed that the W.C.C. also portrays the marks of its constituent parts. Visser t' Hooft seems to say this when he writes: "It [the W.C.C.) can only try to express the mind of the Una Sancta (one Church), but not claim to be the Una Sancta." Those of us who were privileged to be at the Fourth Assembly believe this world today of Christendom is an exp ress i on of the marks of the Church. Furthermore, these qualities seem to have been better expressed at U ppsala than at any prev io u s assembly. The oneness of the W. C.C. is exp re ssed in its statement of the basis for mem ber­ shi p: T h e World Council of C h urche s is a fe llo ws h ip of churches which confess the Lord Jesus Chris t as God and Savior ac­ c o rdin g to the s cri ptur es and therefore seek to fulfill together their common call­ ing to the glory of t h e one God, Father , Son, and Holy Spirit." Our concep t o f oneness is often dis­ torted because we are looking for it in the wrong place. We assume that since there is a variety of church policies, emphases, .

was studied by all participants present in m orn ing sessions. The Word of God was preached. And, what was perhaps the most dramatic affirmation of this unity was the participation of some of the Roman Cath­ olics in the celebration of t h e Lord's Sup­ per! The drama of this was further empha­ sized by Father Robert Tucci, S.J., who, in his excellent presentation to the Assem­ bly, asserted that there are no theological reasons-only practical and psychological ones - why the Roman Catholic C h urch s h o u ld not belong to the W.C.C. He further served to allay Protestant doubts and fears

when he sa i d: "For us Roman Catholics also, the union of all Ch ristians in t h e one Church of Christ cannot be t h e victory of one church over another,

"

but the victory

Christ over our divisions, our conversion to Christ in which we are loyal to the promptings of the Holy Spirit which is the of

As we have been guilty of a wrong view about unity, so h ave we also distorted the meaning of holiness. More than one of the

groups and the colorful dress of the Afri­ can churchmen who have imp ressively combined their tribal dress with churchly ga rbs. A more significant evide nce of this mark has already been noted - the com­ mon celebration of the Eucharist by mem­ bers of all three traditions: the Eastern Orthodox, Protesta nt, and Rom an Catholic church es. As with "one" and " holiness," so "cath­ olic" has its source in Christ. It is not e n ough to define "catholic" sim ply as uni­ ve rsal. Conrad B e rgendoff, president emeritus of Augustana College ( Rock Isla nd, 111.). states the fulle r meaning for the Chris­ tian Church when he writes: "Catholicity in the New Testament consists in a view of the universality of the redemption in Christ" (The One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church, p. 54). D rawing from this Ch risto­ logical view, the W.C.C. decla red in the document previously referred to: "Since Christ lived, died, and rose again for all m a n kind, cathol icity is the opposite of all kinds of egoistic pa rticularism." For many of us it seemed as though catholicity in this deeper sense seldom has been shown so remarkably as at the Fourth Assembly in U ppsala.

three ma rks, the W.C.C. sees this in a Christocentric way. The second study sec­ tion dealt with "Renewal in Mission." The document e m e rging from this gro u p de­ clared: "There is a bu rning relevance to­ day in describing the mission of God, in which we participate, as the gift of a new creation which is a radical renewal of the old and t h e invitation to men to grow up into their full humanity in the New Man, Jesus Christ. " What is especially note­ worthy is the insistence that mission is the mission of God, not of the Church. The Church is but God's instrument which h as been awesomely blessed with the charge to go to all men.

'Behold, I

a e All

hing

The W.C.C. chose as its theme, " Behold, I m a ke all things new" (Rev. 21 :5). Can this be a p propriate when so m uch seems to have been made of the traditional and ancient characteristics of the Church? I think it is. At U p psala, to be reminded of the Christo logical origin was to know re­ newal. To see these marks expressed in such an un precedented setting had an exciting newness about it. I, for one, sensed the newness of Ch rist in a way that has been well exp ressed by another person: "You cannot be an American and a Christian, an E n glishman and a Chris­ tian, a Bantu and a Christian, a Yoruba and a Christian . . . When a man puts on Ch rist such divisions are broken down: there is n e ither Jew nor Greek, black nor white, Yoruba nor Ibo: there is only new man." This is what U p psala tried to say. In certain ways, it stated this conviction sta mmeringly. In oth e r ways, well I am convinced that only i n this New M a n, Christ, whom the Fourth Assembly con­ fessed, can we approach a new under­ standing for our time of what it is to be the "one, holy, catholic, apostolic Church."

po olicity This fourth mark has always been close to the life of the W.C.C. Apostolicity, which means "to be sent," reminds us most clearly of mission. It was out of the missionary move ment that the modern ecumenical movement a rose from whence came the W.C.C. In 1961, at the Third As­ sembly, this m ission concern was further strengthened by the incorporatior] of the Intern ationaf Missionary Council which, as a part of the twentieth century ecume nical movement, had maintained a sepa rate existence since its o rganization in 1921. With a postolicity, as with the other

We cannot truly express the feelings of the children who c ried when the Reverend Zier passed on, or to know the deep love and res pect his staff had for him when they as ked that a small measure of mem­ ory to him would be this dedication." Reverend Zier had struggled to get the hospital and diagnostic wing that now bears his name to i m prove medical care

for his cha rges. He was concerned that those very profoundly retarded and m ul­ ti ple h andicapped receive the best of in­ tensive care, and was responsi ble for the design of the new 60-bed unit. The com plex also houses adm inist rative offices and p rofessional therapies for care and training of the ch ildren. Reverend Zier's profound concern for h i s fellow man was a trait from ea rly child­ hood. Born in Odessa , Was h . , to M r. and M rs . George Zier, he was one of eight boys. G overnor Love noted that "his mother recalls that he was 'different, ' even as a young boy, which was clea rly mani­ fested th rough his deep faith and over­ powering concern for his family and friends . " He w a s a top scholar, athlete a n d stu­ dent body president at Davenport, Wash . High School. According to Love, "The deep concern and interests he had in h i s fellow men, associated w i t h h i s conviction of the teachings of Christ, led him to Pacific Luthe ran University, where he ea rned a bachelo r's degree in history and ph ilosophy in 1 950." Following ordination, Reverend Zier served two churches at Heppner and lone, Ore. He loved the area and asked to be buried in t h at tranquil and peaceful country. A scholarship enabled him to attain a master's degree in philosophy and clinical training at the Andover Newton Graduate School in Massachusetts. Following his studies, he served as chief chaplain at the Rainier State School in Buckley, Wash., from 1 959-6 1 , where he conducted the first nationa lly accredited chaplaincy training program. He a p plied and was a p pointed ass istant superi ntendent at Rainier in 1 96 1 , which led to the superintendency at Ridge, "He was truly a whole man," Governor

The se tutors w o r k with d i saovantaged c h i l d ren in an attem pt to help break the cyc le o f pove rty by h e l ping them to I e rn how to deal with their educat i o n a l prob­ lems. Often the tutor's main worth co mes more f rom the i nfluence of h i s c o n c e r n o n the c h i ld 's motivation than f r o m w h a t h e actually teac hes t h e c h i l d . Another a r e a o f involvement is w i t h the Taco m a D e partment of P u b l i c Assistance. Twelve v o l u ntee rs from PLU are c u rrently working as case worker aides with twelve sepa rate fa m i l i es vary i n g in backgro nd, size and race. The case worker aides adapt themse lves to the fam i l y with which they work, so that the i r expe r i e n c es are u n i q ue, demanding c reativity a n d i ng e n u ity on the i r part, The USSAC swim program has been en­ larged to i n c l ude menta l l y retarded and phys i c a l l y h a n d i ca p ped c h i ld ren from both Tayet and M i dland schools, and about 25 volu nteers from P L U . The c h i l d re n are taught basic swi m m i ng s k i l ls, with the goa l being to e n a b l e them to pass a beg in ni ng swimming test. So far, e ight of the c h i l d ­ r e n i n the prog ram have passed t h e test, and p rog ress has been made i n other areas, such as co nq ueri n g fear of the water. Students are also parti c i p a t i n g in the resocialization process at Western State H os pital and American Lake Vete ran's Hospital. H e re the m a i n em phasis has been to g ive these people someone to tal k to

There have been projects that gotten off the g ro u n d a n d d i e d fo r l a c k of su pport a n d others that have not even gotten off the gro u n d . The su ccess o r fai l u re o f U SSAC, however, s h o u l d not be j u d ged by how many pro­ jects it has going o r how many p e o p l e it has invo lved . Rather, it sho uld be eval u at­ ed on the basis o f whet h e r o r not those who are i nvolved are meeting real needs . On this basis, USSAC has been very s u c ­ cessfu l . What, t h e n , i s USSAC ? It has been c a l l ­ e d many t h i n g s : " a n i d e a m a d e up o f students concerned for others . . , " "op­ portu n ities for invo lvement . . . , " " a n outlet for peo ple to express the i r love f o r o t h e r p e o p l e . . . , " and it is a l l these th ings and m o re. In the context of a Ch ristian u n ivers ity, USSAC is a sym bo l thaI there i s , i n the we l l-rou n d ed C h ristian l i fe , a t i m e to serve - a time in which we can share the love of C h rist with those who know l ittle love, but only rej ectio n . I n this way, a few more lives m a y be made f u l l er a n d deeper. This is USSAC's goal: t o serve, to give and t o love as w e a r e loved i n and by H i m.
