the Bolsheviks are genuinely anx-
ious to settle somehow the religion
problem and to find modus vivendi
with the church. The external and
internal situation urges them to do
so. In these conditions we may ex-
pect quite reasonably not only that
any return to the era OF intense
religious persecution is unthinkable,
but that the Soviet concessions to
churchmen will grow further and
may eventually create real religious
freedom in the Soviet Union"
On the other hand, N. S. Tina
shelf in his book, Religion in
Soviet Russia" declares that ire
ligious freedom in Russia so long
as Communists continue to rule is
impossible. This is q fact which has
brought and continues to bring on
crises in the relations Of the Soviet
Union with other countries"
He adds that if the Soviet govern
ment survives the war and ire
mains free to act according to its
own inclinations" it is Impossible
to guess what its attitude toward
religion will be-"
1t is generally acknowledged by
churchmen, however, that a num-
ber of concessions to Christianity
and the church have been made by
Joseph Stain. A recent issue of
the Anglican monthly, Christendom,
listed Is concessions made to reli-
gion, including restoratio nof civil
rights to the clergy, suspension of
the vast publishing undertaking of
the Goddess Union and revision of
school manuals to eliminate Of
fensive attacks on religion.
Six Points Involved.
But while changes have been TAX
ing place, they do not satisfy the
conception of religious freedom held
by most American religious leaders.
Protestant convictions would involve
six points considered necessary for
the effective functioning of religious
liberty:
Cd Liberty OF conscience, (2) lib
erty OF religious assembly, 90 lib
erty to distribute the Bible, % lib
erty to give religious instruction to
children and youth, (5) restoration
OF church buildings and congrega-
tions, (6) release of imprisoned and
exlled priests and pastors.
-Four minimum guarantees likely
to be accepted by Roman Catholics
were listed last year by the Rev.
John La Fargo, S. j., executive edi-
tor OF America. These are:
Freedom to instruct youth and
children in the religion of their
parents by the parents themselves
and by recognized teachers of the
respective religious bodies.
Cessation of anti-religious propa-
ganda and freedom to speak and
write in favor of religion.
Release of clergy and religious,
Catholic and Catholic, who are
imprisoned or in labor camps.
Permission to reopen closed places
OF worship and for the public to
FREQUENT same.
