Presiding at the Seventeenth National Workshop on Christian Unity's service of worship and community ecumenical assembly was Archbishop Raymond G. Hunthausen, left, of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle. The preacher was Archbishop Edward W. Scott, right, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada. Archbishop Scott preached on the Workshop theme, "Thy Kingdom Come." He emphasized that God created all and it is good; that we are in his image and accountable for all of creation; that we are sinful and break covenant with God; but that God so loved that he acted in history to enable human beings to understand and receive the gift of forgiveness and eternal life. "In God's order we must see that all things interrelate and if the Kingdom is to be realized, this must be perfected in justice, rightness and love, " Archbishop Scott said. (Photo Credit: Donald E.
