THE WORKING GROUP MEETS ZION

From July 9 until July 16 the Lutheran World Federation, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, hosted its annual session of the Lutheran-Roman Catholic Commission on Unity in Baltimore. 12 members from each side (including staff), chaired by a Hungarian Lutheran bishop and a Polish Roman Catholic bishop, worked at Zion on designated topics pertinent to both Christian bodies. 

The Commission was housed at The Tremont Plaza Hotel at St. Paul Place and conducted its meetings in Zion’s Sunday School Room. The Ladies of Zion provided dinner meals in the Adlersaal; luncheons catered by our neighbor, the Hollywood Diner. Members of the Commission preached at both services at Zion on Sunday, July 11; and a below are photographs from the question-and-answer period at the Coffee Hour on Sunday July 11th.
A yacht excursion was held later that evening for the guests and a great time was had by all.
