Document. 4-page transcript of a presentation given to the Pax Christi National Assembly in Milwaukee ~ Gordon discusses the negative aspects of the institutionalized church, and expresses his disappointment that the church has not made more progress toward the total renunciation of war and violence. However, he says that significant progress has been made and patience with the institutional church is needed because institutions are slow to change as well as individuals who also offer resistance. Gordon says that long vision and fortitude of endurance will be needed in working with the system and making the institutional church an effective instument against war and violence.
