Author of The Secular City, sociologist-theologian Cox concerned himself with the education of young people for their mission in the secu lar city. Emphasizing the effects of massive social reforms on the religious life of a society, Cox said he believes seminaries may be a major barrier to renewal. To further explain this idea, Cox spoke of four areas of ferment occurring in modern society: among preachers, laity, students and university professors. He spoke of the ferment of preachers toward institutes concerned with the study of the church in community or ganizations. Cox suggested that seminarians specialize in a field other than theology, such as political science or sociology, so qualified theologians will be able to take their places in all fields of society, thus insuring a tighter bond between the laity and clergy. Referring to unrest among laity, Cox said, The laity is no longer willing to be second class citizens of the church. Religious men to day are confronted with an edu cated and hungry laity, the most liberal of whom slip away from the church. He pointed out that one of the functions of theology is to illuminate the issues laity face in the secular world. Theology, then, must wean itself from rigidly organized religion, so the lay man may find recognition of his secular problems in the theological framework. Students, too, are agitated, as (Continued on Page 5) International Film Festival Holds Screening Of Religious, Cartoon Competition at College Mundelein College will participate in a first this month, the first annual Chicago International Film Festival.
