<strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Doria</strong> <strong>Russell</strong>, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Sparrow</strong><br />
Joseph Sittler, Lutheran theologian (1904-1987) delivered<br />
one of the main addresses at the Third Assembly, World<br />
Council of Churches (WCC), New Delhi, India, on<br />
November 21, 1961.<br />
Joseph A. Sittler, "Called to Unity," <strong>The</strong> Ecumenical Review, 14<br />
(January 1962): 177-87.<br />
This address is summarized by Lukas Vischer --<br />
Sittler stated: "In propositional form it is simply this: a doctrine of<br />
redemption is meaningful only when it swings within the larger orbit of<br />
a doctrine of creation. For God's creation of earth cannot be redeemed<br />
in any intelligible sense of the word apart from a doctrine of the cosmos<br />
which is his home, his definite place, the theatre of his selfhood under<br />
God, in corporation with his neighbour, and in caring relationship with<br />
nature, his sister."<br />
