Family Council 1961 GREAT JANUARY Editor's Note: The Family Coun. ell consist, of ft Judge, ft piychla trlst, three clergymen, ft newspaper editor, ft women'! tailor ana iwo - writer!. E.ch irtlcle li ft summary of an actual case history. The Council report! on problem! that vn h in V have been dealt wnn oy respon sible aecncles and counselor.. J w v I I (Copyrlilit 1D61 General realurei lorp.) 12 B. i fA Tr Martha C. - Suddenly he , refuses to observe the prac tices of our religion. , ," r Eugene C. - It dawned on me that this has nothing to do : with being a good person. ; ! Marlha C. - We're married two years and have no chil dren, and it's a good thing. I want to have the matter of religion settled between Gene -and me, instead of quarreling about it- in front of our future family. ';' ' Before we were married, I didn't discuss religion much with Gene. He lived in anoth er city and whenever he visit ed me, he accompanied me to services and gave the impres sion of being devout, pious ; and observant. We are of the same denomination and my childhood pastor officiated at our wedding.. But now, suddenly, Gene . reveals that he was merely humoring me! He doesn't ap prove of organized religion, ho says, and he's not going to be hypocritical about it. , This Is a terrible shock, My faith is a great comfort to me. xIIow can I bring up a child to bo God-fearing and God-loving If his father throws all wor ship and. practices overboard? , Eugei C. - I knew Martha was an Intense religionist but, since she never brought up the matter 'of my own atti tudes toward all that hocus- pocus, I figured she'd leave me atone about it and I'd . leave her alone, too. I'm even willing to let her have her way. with our future children. A strict upbringing . can't hurt them and it won't stop them from breaking loose later,' once they get out In the world and meet won derful people from other groups. It didn't stop mc. Martha knows I'm a good man. And I believe in God, mainly as He reveals Himself in good people - people who are kind, honest and indus trious; I can't see where singing hymns, and lighting candles and going through awkward ceremonials has anything to do with being godlike. Also, I dislike. rigid group ings. I feel more comfortable when I'm among a natural sampling of all kinds of peo ple who are interested in things outside themselves. But to make things easy for Martha, I'll join her occasion ally. ; -' The Councili The predica ment the C.'s find themselves In reveals that intermarriage can take place between people of the same faith, as well as those of opposite faiths! They indicate what can happen when, within the same re ligious persuasion, e x trcmc right wing weds extreme left wing. Whatever Martha a e ccpls "on faith" and without ques tion, Eugene rejects as super fluous "hocus-pocus." Without defending or attacking the position of either of these mates, we can discuss two points: The Importance of a united front on the "official" religious position of the fam ily before children arrive, and the place of "form" in express ing and preserving "spirit." Perhaps a clergyman from a middle-of-the-road branch of the C.'s church can assist them toward a compromise of their tenets. Religion, after all, Is meant to Increase fam ily love and togetherness. Both Martha and Eugene, out ! of respect for each other's ' sincere convictions, will have to "budge" and give in a lit- j tic, for a "homogeneous" home. As to ritual, Marlha must admit that one can worship I without it. Every fine thought and good deed Is a form of worship, But Eugene, in turn, ' must admit that precious j things are best preserved In strong containers, Formal prayers and observances arc the traditional "containers" for group and communal wor ship. Lot'i hope It won't oppress Eugene too much to go lo serv ices once In a while, nor op press Martha too much when i he doesn't.
