“The Church and the World walked far apart” at one time, but it is no longer thus; and one of the most striking unions we have recently seen is that recorded in a New York paper of June 20. The Actors’ Church Alliance invited the church people to meet with them at the Berkeley Lyceum. The Lyceum was crowded. Bishop Potter, Father Ducey, Dr. McGlynn, Revs. John P. Peters, R. Herbert Newton, Thomas R. Slicer, Percy C. Grant, Joseph Reynolds, and Rabbi Silverman, were among the speakers. Bishop Potter presiding. The bishop “said that while he himself had never been in a theater before, he was heartily in sympathy with the members of the profession, and would be glad to see the church and the stage brought closer together. The attendance and enthusiasm were so encouraging that at the next meeting, which will be called within a month, the alliance will take palpable form. The main object of the alliance will be the establishment in every theatrical center, of a chaplain who shall visit the different members as temporary parishioners. Not only will the temporal welfare of the actors be looked after, but if they are ill or in need, their more material sufferings will also be alleviated. The alliance will also make a vigorous fight against theatrical performances on Sundays.” In the final conflict over the pseudo-sabbath, theatre-goers and saloon-keepers will be found on the Sunday side.
