FOREIGN POLICY
URGED ON CHURCH
Bishop Oman Asks Meth
dist To Take More Ac-
tive Part
Bv BILLIE WHEELOCK

BUCK HILL FALLS, Pa, Dec.
11-P-Bishop G. Bromley Ok
man of New York today urged
the Methodist church to take a
more active part in formulating
this country's foreign policies by
"providing competent men to re-
present the moral opinion of the
world at the places where dici-
sions are made"
"Unfortunately we have large
ly waited until decisions are
made and then protested them,"
Bishop Oxman told delegates to
the annual session of the board
of missions and church extern
sion. "Protests don't build con-
structive programs. There should
be a flow of opinion to the White
House from all groups-Protes-
tants, Jewish and Catholic
alike"
He cited partition of the Holy
Land as an example of the in
articulateness of his church.
''The very complexities of the
partition left us silent. We were
not prepared to recommend any
action"
A step toward preparing the
church for more informed voice
in world policy decision was TAX
en- this year, he said, with the ap-
pointment of the Rev. Garland
Evans Hopkins as associate Sec
retary for the relation of busl-
ness and government to missions.
