Minister'S Union
Offers Membership
To Worcester Rabbi

Worcester, Mass. Mar. 4-(AP)-
The Worcester Minister'S Union has
made history by voting to offer mem
bership to Rabbi Merrice E. Manure
of Temple Emanuel. The vote, an
nounced today, established a prece-
dent in that never before had the
union opened it's doors to one of the
Jewish faith. Rabbi Manure de-
clined to comment until he should
have received a formal invitation.
The union includes representatives
of every denomination in this city, as
well as those of the Y. NJ. c. A, the
Y. w. C. A., the Salvation Army and
other bodies. 1t does not confine its
interest to matters of religious be-
lief but was founded to stimulate In
every way the religious life of the
community.
In debate On the vote it was sug-
gusted that the constitution might
contain some clause which would
hinder the admission of Rabbi Ma
zure. and it was voted to examine the
document and eliminate any of it's
phrases which might be Objectionable
to the rabbi or to hinder his admls-
sion to membership.
Howard E. Pomeroy. secretary of
the union, said tonight that no change
in the constitution would be neces-
sary. as it states that any pastor in
Worcester or surrounding towns is
eligible for membership. He added
that the word pastor was being con-
tsrued by the union officials. as in
GLIDING any clergyman of whatever
faith.
The formal invitation to Rabbi Ma
Zure will be mailed tomorrow.
