The defendant in "the church trials, the late Philip Schaff, is today regarded as a pioneer in the ecumenical movement, the effort to get American denominations to work together in, a common .program. Dr. George Hite Shriver- Jr. is the author of the work,- a Baptist minister, and assistant professor of church history at, Southeastern Baptist Seminary,.'in Wake Forest, N.C. .... , , Shriver just coriipleted his study of Schaff this, June, and -thus earned ~liis.Ph.D." degree at Duke University after being.graduated magna cum laude with an A.B. at Stetson "in 1953.' He is from Jacksonville; - and his wife, the? former Dona Jean Newcomer, from. OrT lando, also graduated' from Stetson in 1953. - Shriver's work at Stetson earned for - hirn several scholarships, at Duke including the Gurney Harris Kearns Fellowship in "Religion. The ecumenical movement is??-a topic of controversy . today, -but, Shriver says,. Schaff was an "ecu- menicist before his time.'He urged a union not.only,among Protestant groups but also union- with' the Roman Catholic Church. According to Shriver,. Schaff believed that Christian denominations have more similarities'than "differences and should thus -work together. - This is what the, ecumenical movement asserts today. Schaff believed American Chris- tion: churches: would see their similarities more, clearly if- they studied the histories' of other denominations rather than spend so much time~on: their own, backgrounds. ' - Shriver's dissertation points out that Schaff's. own interest, in church history—particularly medieval ' religion—caused the German Reform Church in Pennsylvania to charge him twice with heresy. Schaff was vindicated at both trials. '•■-■■' Schaff taught at Union Theological Seminary, in New • York and was chairman ,of the, 1881- 1885 ' revision of, the American Standard Version of the Bible. ;-.
