Council Of Churches
Lists Activities TO
Increase Goodwill

New York-(ANP)- The Fed
eral Council of Churches of
Christ in America has issued a
suggested list of activities to be
utilized by individuals and
church organizations in practic-
ing real brotherhood"
The list is contained in an an
nual message released last week
for Race Relations Sunday, OBJ
served Feb. IL. 1t was written by
Mrs. Douglas Horton, Wce-presi-
dent of the councils department
of race relations and was adopted
by the executive committee.
Under the heading What
Christians Can Do" the sugges-
tons are:
"As individuals:
1-Examine your own attitudes
and manners with regard to race.
2-Learn the basic facts about
race.
3-Avoid congratulations or pre-
judgements based on race.
4-Refrain from telling stories
which have derogatory implica-
tons about race, creed or national
origin. Where hearing these
stories, tactfully point out that
relating them spreads racial pre-
JUDGE.
5-Correct derogatory or incor-
rect statements made by others
about a race.
6-Find out what your church
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1950-10-20

and denomination and other agen-
cies are doing to improve race re-
lations, and how you can become
a part of this movement.
7-Support legislation designed
to guarantee civic rights to all re-
CARELESS of race, creed or national
origin.
S-Work in your occupation,
your union or vocational organi-
zation for fair employment prac-
tees.
"As church organizations:
1-Strengthen Christian brother
hood through making church
membership open to all, regard
less of race.
2-Evaluate what your church
has done in race relations and
make plans for a race relations
program that runs throughout the
year.
3-Sponsor study groups, forums
worship services and other actiH-
ties as a means of bringing
groups of different racial and
cultural backgrounds together
for the purpose of discovering
common needs and mutual inter-
ests.
4-Discover what racial groups
live in the community where the
church is located; what contri-
buttons they are making to COM
munity life; what their problems
are; and how the church or in
dividuals can help resolve them.
5-Work to guarantee decent
homes for all people and for the
removal of restrictive housing
covenants and community prac-
tees based on race or national
origin.
6-Work for impartial justice in
the courts and the elimination If
discrimination on account of race,
creed or national origin. The
fields in which these barriers now
exist include: employment, hous-
ing, education, health, recreation,
hotel accommodations, and COM
munity services.
7-Work with employers groups,
professional organizations and
unions to establish employment
practices based on character and
skill rather than on race, creed
or national origin.
