THE WEEK IN RELIGION
Exchange Of Visitors
Idea Grows in Europe

sentative Protestant and Eastern
Orthodox organization in the
world issued an appeal for more
inter-church visits.
The assembly specifically di-
rected that this appeal be for
warded to churches in the
USSR and other groups not re-
lated to the World Council, and
this was done.
Just two weeks ago 1t was
learned that a Baptist body in
Russia. the All-Soyiet Council
Of Evangelical Christians, had
asked American Baptist leaders
to preach in Russia.
The latest developments in
establishment Of contact be-
tween Western and Iron Curtain
churches seem significant be-
cause Of the number Of invita-
tons exchanged. But they are
not unique. Some attempts to
maintain contact have been
made throughout the cold war.

~ R.llsious News s.rvie.

In the free nations Of Europe
there were signs this week Of q
growing desire among religious
leaders to re-establish contact
with churches behind the IRON
Curtain.
At Dusseldorf. Evangelical
pastors In West Gernany's
Rhineland welcomed q visiting
three-man delegation Of Russian
Orthodox leaders from Moscow.
In The Hague. the Neither
lands Ecumenical Council an
nounced' it would send four
Dutch Protestant clergymen to
the Soviet capital in June Ito
strengthen ties betweeA Russian
and Dutch churches and study
life In the Soviet Union"
Archbishop Spyridon Of Ath-
ems, head Of the Orthodox
Church In Greece. was invited by
Patriarch Alexei Of Moscow to
visit Russia with o delegation Of
Greek bishops and members Of
the church's Holy Synod.
British Invitation
And In London the British
Council Of Churches invited the
churches Of Russia to send rep
resentatives to Britain for q
two-week visit in July.
These and other recent de-
velopments-like the invitation
extended to four Baptist leaders
in the United States to preach in
Russia--suggest that church
leaders in the Soviet Union are
at least as ready as Western
churchmen for closer contact
among the churches Of the Com
munist and non-Communist
worlds.
The reasons for the Russian
willingness are not clear. The
leaders Of the USSR's largest
religious body. the Russian
Orthodox Church, have been
accused repeatedly Of being
tools of the Communist regime.
Within the Western churches,
opponents of contact with Rus
sian religious leaders argue that
the Communists want to use the
Russian church to spread false
peace propaganda.
But a large body Of infiu-
entail opinion in the Western
churches holds that, even If the
Russian churchmen are under
Communist pressure, relations
with thems can do no harm and
may do much good.

Salary Increases "Small."
Eric Rhodes. spokesman for

the proposed salary scale in

residents should realize they
amount to an average Of 3.4 per
cent.
The council has voted to grant
all funds requested to put the
teachers on the scale adopted by
the school board. Maximum
raises. including normal incre-
ments. will be $3.50.
Mr.. Rhodes noted that some
teachers will get no raises. About
half will receive an average $155
plus an average Sis normal in
crement increase. Only rs per
cent will get the full $3.50, Mr..
Rhodes said.
County officials since releasing
the budget increases totalling
$940, ,555 in operating expenses

aid have been cut by more than
