Church Must Do All Possible
To Help Meet Needs of Humans
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
There are millions of lay
men in America today who
eel strongly that the church
Kn should stick to
x I t nirl lull
1 , 1 k n i tting and
y I not get in-
voivca in con
t r o v e r s ial
public issues.
They raise
vigorous pro
tests whenev
er a religious
ciueis body takes a
stand on capital punishment,
.segregation, slum housing, or
some other social problem.
By L what right, they ask,
.does the church "meddle" in
such affairs?
; They got an answer from
'the white-haired, Soft-voiced
: presiding bishop of the Epis-
f t . w .
copal Church, the Rt. Rev
Arthur Lichtenberger.
Speaking at a church lunch
eon in New York, Bishop
Lichtenberger recalled one of
his teachers in' theological
school who used to say that
Robinson Crusoe could not
be a Christian until he had
found his man Friday.
Mtans Involvement
"What he meant," said the
bishop, "is that when one is
a Christian, one is thereby in
volved with other people. The
world for the Christian is not
God and himself, but God, his
neighbor and himself. And
his neighbor is anyone any
where in need.
Bishop Lichtenberger said
he has received dozens of let
ters in recent months from
people who seem to feel that
the Christian faith has to do
with purely spiritual matters

ACTOR ACCUSED - Actor Audle Murphy displays an honor
ary sheriff's badge he carries and which he displayed to two
youths in' Hollywood as he tried to question them about in
decent writings which had been received by photographer's
model Judy. Pope, a friend of the actor. One of the youths,
Edward Mayer, filed a charge of felonious assault against
Murphy, accusing the actor of striking him during the ques
tioning. Mayer also charged Murphy threatened him with
a gun. (UPI) : ' .
But, he noted, Jesus was
"quite definite" in saying that
the way we show our love
for God U to love our neigh
bors." And Jesus also made
clear that love for neighbor
is to be expressed in every
day, physical acts of mercy -
such as providing bread for
the hungry, a roof 'for the
homeless, justice for the dis
possessed, fellowship for the
lonely, freedom for the en
slaved
"But see where -that leads
us," the bishop said. "If the
church is to serve her Lord
she must do what she can to
help meet human needs. This
means, I am convinced, that
the church in her concern for
the welfare of people will
necessarily be engaged in so
cial education and social action.
"This also means that the
church will be engaged on
many fronts, since problems
such as racial discrimination,
poverty and homclessness are
interdependent.
Can't Turn Back
The church's primary mis
sion, he said, is to bear wit
ness to the fact that "God so
loved the world that He gave
Himself for us in Christ." It
can hardly demonstrate God's
love for the world by turning
its back on the world, and
refusing to dirty its hands
with the mundane problems
of human society.
The Bishop quoted some
words written by Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, the heroic young
German theologian who was
executed by the Nazis:
If the hungry, man does
not attain to faith, then the
guilt falls on those who re
fused him bread. To provide
the hungry man with bread
is to prepare the way for the
coming of grace." :
'We cannot prepare the
way for the coming of grace
simply by doing what we can
to change the minds and
hearts of Individuals, and
then hope for the best,"
Bishop Lichtenberger concluded.
"Some of the obstacles and I
hindrances to the coming of
grace in our day are found
in the political and social and
economic structures of the na
tion. It ii the responsibility
of the church, of Christian
people, to help remove those
barriers. This is the biblical
and theological basis for the
church's concern with the wel
fare of all people."
