Is This Jesus?"
WT? - nv. -
mandment in America today,
the message says, means ac
tively supporting "those who
seek freedom and justice In
the face of discrimination and
segregation."
The message suggests four
specific ways in which local
c hu r c h e s and individual
Christians can act to improve
race relations:
1. Welcome people of all
races into membership in the
church and its organizations
and make this fact known in
the community.
2. Support "constructive"
measures for integration of
public schools, and firmly op
pose any attempt by legis
lation or "mob violence"
to circumvent federal law.
3. Cooperate with other
community agencies in break
ing down racial barriers in
housing.-
4. Urge elimination of seg
regation on buses and other
transportation facilities.
Hungary's famed Lutheran
bishop, Lajos Ordass, is under
heavy attack by his country's
controlled Communist press.
Church leaders of other coun
tries see ominous similarities
between the present campaign
of vilification and the one
which preceded his arrest in
1948 on trumped-up charges
of currency manipulation.
Ordass was 1 released in
October, 1956, shortly before
the Hungarian freedom re
volt. After the revolt was
crushed by Russian troops,
he was ousted from his post
as presiding bishop of the
Hungarian Lutheran church,
but was allowed to remain as
head of the church's South
ern District.
Ordass has stood aloof from
the state-appointed "bishops"
who have been imposed on
the Hungarian Lutheran
church by the Commurust
government. His name was
conspicuously absent from
their recent joint declaration
recognizing the "divinely or
dained supreme authority of
the state."
The leader of the world's
oldest Protestant 6ect, the
Waldensian church of Italy,
is visiting in the United
States.
Dr. Achille Deodato, mod
erator of the Waldensians,
came to Washington last week
end to speak before several
groups which have given fi
nancial support to his church,
which was founded in the
12th Century and now claims
about 26,000 members -In
Italy.
Deodato said that recent
court decisions are helping
Italian Protestants to actual
ly exercise the religious free
doms which were promised to
them by Italy's post-war con
stitution. He said it is now
possible for Protestants to
hold religious meetings in
rented halls without notifying
police beforehand, or to open
their own premises to public
worship without requesting
authorization.
Protestant and Orthodox
churches of the United States
will be asked to contribute
$10,428,000 in 1958 to sup
port the global programs of
relief for the hungry and
homeless which they carry
on cooperatively through
church world service.
Much of the money will
come from contributions of
individual church members
during. "one great hour of
sharing" on Sunday morning,
March 16. Special collections
for church world service will
be taken up then in thousands
of participating local church
es. Church world service dis

East German Reds
Seek To Weaken
Church Influence
By ELLEN LENTZ
Uniler Press Correspondent
Berlin (IP) Communist
East Germany has stepped up
its campaign to wipe out the
strong anti-Communist influ
ence of the church.
The Communists have
either absorbed or banned all
political parties, all mass or
ganizations, all movements
that could oppose them. Only
the church remains outside
their control.
Throughout East Germany
the Communists are now or
ganizing rallies to denounce
clergymen who take a firm
anti-Communist stand.
- They have jailed at least
six clergymen and demanded
the transfer of others in their
stepped-up campaign.
Great pressure is also be
ing placed on the church to
support Communist indoc
trination of youth.'
The Communists are attack
ing religion in all form. But
the Evangelical Church is
baering the brunt of the as
sault because more than two
thirds of East Germans are
Protestant.
Despite the division of
Germany itself between East
and West, the Evangelical
Church still is a unified body
in both parts of the country.
Dibelius Target
The Communists are now
apparently out to split the
church and establish a Com
munist-dominated Protestant
church in East Germany.
A favorite Red target is
Bishop Otto Dibelius, titular
head of the German Evangel
ical Church. He still preaches
in East Berlin, but since early
this year the Communists have
barred him from traveling
outside the city to East Ger
many.
The Communists denounce
Dibelius as following a "NA
TO policy," and they have
made it clear they want to
wipe out his influence in East
Germany..
But Dibelius and the church
have not been intimidated.
Church leaders at a meet
ing in East Berlin in Dec
ember resolved that "not
even fear" could drive them
to acknowledge a system that
denies the existence of God
They called on the East
German faithful "to be ready
to make sacrifices for the
sake of freedom."
The firm stand taken by the
church is expected to aggrav
ate state-church relations.
Pressure exerted by the
East regime may take the
form of cuts of state subsidies
without which the church
would be hard-put to survive.
Chaplain Sentenced
A central point of contro
versy is the "youth dedication
service" which Communists
are demanding all youths at
tend in a drive to wipe out
religious influence.
Both the Evangelical and
the Roman Catholic Church
denounce as anti-religious the
Communist c e r em o n y m
which youths must swear al
legiance to Marxism. Youths
who take part in the cere
mony are banned by the
churches from confirmation
and holy communion.
Pastor Siegfried Schmut
zler 42, Evangelical chaplain
at Leipzig University was one
of the first victims of the new
Communist campaign.
He was sentenced to five
vears at hard labor on charges
of "subversive action" against
the East regime. His real sin
was his strong influence
among Liepzig students.
Whether the Communists
will succeed in putting so
much pressure on individual
pastors in the Soviet zone to
make them break away from
western church headquarters
is still an open Question.
rhnrrh headauarters in
West Berlin does not believe
the Communists will succeed.
But they admit that- clergy
men, standing alone in the
Soviet zone under heavy
duress, are feeling bitter,
tired, frustrated and hopeless
