Christian Faith Is Seen as
Growing Influence in France
Foctor in Strengthening Hope
OF Freedom From German Aggressor

A message from the Archbishop
NJ Canterbury. DR.. WILLIAM
Temple. declared that the vision
o. the future for regenerated
France lis a vision Of a nation re-
born tn its own traditional faith.
and carrying the influence Of that
faith into every activity Of mind
and spirit"
1T IL true" said DIR. Temple,
that one result of the French
Revolution was to make a d.
vision between ifs religious In
heritance and lie democratic
aspirations, but for many
years now II has seemed that
II Is in process of being healed.
and we may hope that when
France emerges again tri-
.umphant and vigorous from
the depths into which II has
been cast BY the German ag-
gressor. IL win he found that
the rift h on its way 20 be-
ing closed up"
Commissioner Philip declared
that the influence Of the Protes-
tsnt church in France had in
creased in recent years and that
the church had become q leading
center Of resistance for the whole
French community.
The church resisted" he said
because IL believed In spiritual
values against the realism of
Viehy. These values were centered
on the sacred nature OF human per-
sonality, which led to political and
economic consequences. French
Professionals have taken their stand
against anti-Semitism and the
vichy government"
Msgr. Closon reported a deep
religious revival in France. both
among intellectuals and the people,
since the last war.
He warned that the Christian
faith must not be used for the pur-
pose Of exerting pressure to force
into accepting their
uneasy situation" On the con-
trary. he asserted. Christian
France will have to give to the
revolution. already taking place.
its spiritual and moral basis TO
ensure that the resulting economic
and social changes will be inspired
by Christian respect for human
liberty and individuality.
