Those words were written, by this reporter, a little more than six months ago. They are no longer true. Today, churches and syna- coL'ues are deeply involved in the fight against discrim ination. Protestan, Catholic and Jewish organizations are working together to muster public support for passage of civil rights legislation. Ministers, priests and rab bis are marching alongside Negroes in non - violent dem- iimi WHISTLINO TEA KITTLE SSSmi WEISFI ELD'S AususT WATCH Trade-In ;saleiM;N SI Str w -i m v ;'.if ATT. rtMl 8 IH i r 2 T.

Some have gone to jail In Washington, Chicago, De troit and many other commu nities, tri - faith councils have been established to promote equality of opportunity in em ployment and housing. Issuad Paitoral Laitors During the past few weeks, at least 30 Catholic bishops have issued pastoral letters attacking segregation as an unchristian denial of the dig nity wnicn uod has conferred on every human creature. The presiding bishop of the Episcopal church has appeal ed to all Episcopalians to walk picket lines, give mon ey to Negro organizations, and otherwise demonstrate the church's "identification with those who are victims of op. pression. The United Presbyterian church has created a "Com. mission on Religion and Race to stir Presbyterian laymen into emulating the example 01 tneir cnlel executive offi cer, Dr. Eugene Carson Blake who was arrested July 4 for participating in a protest against segregation. The Synagogue Council of America has set up a "task force" of rabbis, who are available for picketing duty ana protest marches. The National Council of Churches is urging white Christians - both clergy and laymen - to join the "March on Washington" which Negro organizations have scheduled for Aug. 28. List is Ltnglhy The list could run on and on. A similar ferment of ac tivity is under way in many religious organizations be sides those named. Not all of their white mem bers are happy about it. In fact, some are quite vocally unhappy to see the church "taking sides" in a social rev olution. Religious leaders are well aware that commitment to the Negro cause may cost church es and synagogues a few mem bers and a great deal of fi nancial support. They say, however, that the time has come for reli gious institutions to pay what ever price is necessary to demonstrate the sincerity of tneir conviction that God ere ated all men, regardless of race or color, with equal rignts and dignity. This "damn - the - tome- does" spirit was expressed in a recent statement by the uen- eral board of the National Council of Churches. It said: ."Now is the time for ac tion - even costly action that may jeopardize the organiza tional goals and institutional structures of the church." What it ih Causa? What caused church and synagogue leaders to move suddenly from timidity to bold action on racial prob lems? Three factors seem to have contributed. One was the National Con ference on Religion and Race held in Chicago last January. It was the firsjt time in his tory that Protestants, Cath olics and Jews had met to gether to examine their role in race relations. They went away from the meeting with a deep sense of shame about the past record, and a joint determination to prove that religion is neither indifferent nor irrelevent to what they called "America's number one moral problem." Close on the heels of the Chicago meeting came the demonstrations against segre gation In Birmingham, Ala. The already- sore consciences of many white Christians and Jews were sharply pricked by the spectacle of Negroes being doused by fire hoses, attacked by police dogs, and herded into jails. Negro Patienc Exhausted The nationwide wave of demonstrations which follow ed Birmingham was the clincher. Religious leaders realized that Negro patienre was exhausted, and that it was no longer a question of whether racial barrier should come down rapidly or grad ually, but a question of wheth er they would come down peacefully or violently. "Birmingham and what fol lowed has confronted the na tion with a near - revolution by Negro citizens," said Ma thew Ahmann, executive di rector of the National Catho lic Conference for Interracial Justice. "It has also confront ed religious men with the ne- J ccssity of choice. The time for religious fence sitting is over. "Neither the Kennedy ad ministration, nor massive civ il rights legislation, nor the Su preme Court, can forge the necessary national consensus that integration is a good thing. Only organized reli gion can forge this consensus; and it can do so only if it is willing to go all the way. "We either accept the lead ership that is ours, or we for feit the right to be trusted."
