Major White" Church
Groups Move Toward
Race lnfeqrufion

Chicago lANP)-Denomination-
al views Of Indignation in churches
and even schools, seems to be on
the favorable side for the races.
At least, three denominations
Methodist, Presbyterian, and Epis-
copalian, have concluded that in
tegration is the current trend, that
it is mot un-Christian" and that
they, as leaders Of the people,
should be in the forefront Of move
ments toward true expressions Of
brotherhood.
Indignation Of a Negro church
by one Of three Indiana Methodist
conferences last week, bespoke one
Of several recent instances Of the
denominations attitude. Neighbor-
hood House Of Fort Wayne, Ind.
was admitted by a unanimous vote
of 800 ministerial and lay dele
gates into the Northern Indiana
conference. Other Negro churches
of the Methodists Central Negro
jurisdiction are slated to be alb
sorbed by the white conference in
the near future.
A proposed resolution to pro
vide leadership so that the Sup
rene court desegregaton decisions
may be carried out with malice
toward none and good will toward
all" was rejected by 800 clergy
men and laymen, representing 10
churches and 20 missions Of the
Episcopal diocese of Virginia. The
rejection was registered because
a similar resolution was approved
in 1854.
However, the Presbyterian Syn
cd Of Arkansas reaffirmed its
stand in favor of racial integra-
ton, the reaffirmation coming in
to the Kentucky Synod's
request that Arkansas Join a move
to have the church's general as
sembly oppose" desegregation.
The Arkansan reply, deploring
the Little Rock school Indignation
crisis, held that enforced segre-
cation of the races is discrimina-
ton which is out of harmony with
the teachings Of the Scripture,
Christian theology and ethics"
The Presbyterian general con-
ference has voted to study for one
year a fair employment policy to
end the assignment of ministers
on the basis of race and color.
