The American Civil Liber
ties Union and the School
Board of 8andy Union High
have announced their agree
ment on certain issues stem
ming from the February 26
Sandy High School assembly
featuring a multi media reli
gious production, “The Sixth
Door".
The following statement
was issued by Gary M. Hui
lock, Attorney at la w , in
behalf of the School Board of
Sandy Union High School.
We believe that the con
stitutional provision of sep
aration of church and state
means that:
Keligious in
struction is a private con
cern. Public schools cannot
aid one religion, aid all reli
gions, prefer one religion or
no religion above another, or
prefer believers to non bo
lievers. Public schools can
not require or influence a
person to go to or remain
away from religious servires;
they cannot urge, persuade
or force anyone to engage in
or refrain from religious acts
or to profess religious beliefs
or disbeliefs; they cannot
reward, punish or discrimi
nate against anyone for pro-
fession of religious beliefs,
disbeliefs or no beliefs.
The Board, with the assis
lance of staff and legal
counsel, will s o o n adopt
policy guidelines concerning
religious activities in the
schools to carry out this
position statement.
W ith respect to the con
stitutional guarantees of free
dom of expression for stu
dents and staff we re affirm
the position of the Board
that the school shall I n *
operated so as to encourage
full exchange of views not
only as is legally required of
us but in furtherance of our
goals ax an educational in
stitution.
To assure that the policies
of the Board with respect to
freedom of expression are
understood and fully rarried
out. a review of our practices
is being undertaken with the
assistance of staff and coun
set. Revised guidelines will
bi* Issued al the earliest
possible time.
Finally, we commend the
staff and members of the
Board for their dedication to
the schiNil program and their
willingness to invest heavily
ol their time in meeting the
complex issues arising from
their responsibilities.
The American Civil Liber
ties Union had taken issue
with the religious content of
the school assembly.

Disciples appear in Portland
There are four good rea
sons why Andrae Crouch and
the Disciples are one of the
World's most successful and
durable Jesus Music groups.
These four reasons are: An
drae Crouch. Sandra Crouch.
Billy Thedford and Perry
Morgan.
Rarely do you find four
in d iv id u a lly
talented |N*r
formers who work so well
together; dedicating them
selves to the ministry that
each one feels as his parti
cular railing
that o f
spreading the Good News
through Jesus Music.
Because of their dedica
tion. the Disciples, as a
group, have been together a
total of six years. Whenever
COGIC Youth Congress
appoints leader
Reverend W illiam James,
pastor of the St. James
Church of God in Christ,
Toledo. Ohio, has been ap
pointed President of The
International Youth Congress
of the Church of God in
Christ by t h e
Presiding
Bishop J.O. Patterson of
Memphis. Tennessee and the
General Board during a Gen
eral Session in Chicago. Illi
nois.
Reverend James attended
Clark University in Atlanta.
Georgia, and received a B.A.
Degree from Eastern Naza
rem* College in Wollaston.
Massachusetts.
He
w as
awarded an honorary doe
torate of Sacred Scriptures
by the Pillow of Fire College
of York. England in January
of 1972

they sing, in concert, on
television, or while record
¡ng. one gets the strong
feeling that these people
have a most unusual com
mitment to God. They feel
He is worthy of the absolute
best they can give. You will
always find them striving for
KM) percent perfection. And
judging from their record
sales and the standing room
only concerts around the
world, that excellence is ap
preciated by millions.
The Disciples have ap
peared with such [N-rsonali
ties as Nickey Cruz, Dave
Wilkerson, Pat Boone. Billy
Graham. Johnny Cash, and
Oral Roberts.
They were
featured at EX 1*1,0 72. and
have appeared on Oral Ro
berts specials,
and
the
Johnny C a r s o n T o n ig h t
Show.
They have been
w ritten up in such perio
dicals as Life Magazine. Time
A Billboard. The cover story
of Christian Life Magazine.
February, is about Andrae.
T heir 1970 recording of
"Christian People" on the
Liberty label earned them the
coveted G ram m y A w a rd
nomination. These four LP's
on the “Light" label are some
of the best selling in all of
Gospel Music; and you can't
hardly pick up a contem
porary Gospel or “Jesus"
album without finding at
least one Andrae Crouch
song.
Their album "Soul
fully" received t h e
1972
Grammy Award nomination
for the best Soul Gospel al
bum of the year.
The Disciples' music is
today's sound.
The con
temporary rhythm without
the distorted raucous effect
too often associated with
modern music, not only is
the musicianship of the Dis
ciples of the highest quality,
but the attention to the
lyrics of every song makes
an evening w i t h
Andrae
Crouch and the Disciples an
exciting and rewarding spiri
tual and musical experience.
The Disciples will appear
at the Masonic Temple. 119
S.W. Park Avenue on April
6th.

cerned over the careless or
