Many added responsibilities
loom in the new unified church.
Racial representation in every
base of the work is made posi-
lie. Technical leadership in many
venues of service will be requir-
lei. Scores of well trained Negroes
will be NEEDED to man the places
which are now opened up.
There are many of us within

e departmentalized Christian or
anization built on a racial basis.
Tut it is the pattern by which we
IRE working in our American so
ial order. The fight Negroes are
laking in the merged church for
9 place in the ecclesiastical struc-
tire is not a quasidenominational
fight, prosecuted in our own be-
half, but a larger fight involving
the race as a whole.
We accept certain prescribed re-
lationships as a race in all areas
of American life, not because we
love them, but because we hope
to use them to build a more Chris
ton social relationship among all
peoples in the world. We want
every Negro outside the Methodist
church to know that the leaders
in this new church have left no
stones unturned in their effort to
further racial progress and build
an organization according to
Christian ideals.

ton to make, we are persistent in
