Religion in America
Organized Religion Deeply
Involved in Racial Equality
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
"Organized religion has
thus far played a relatively
minor role in the struggle for
racial justice i:i America."
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-

onsiraiions against segrega
tion. 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."
