world. The bishop said there
is AN aggressive resurgence" of
non-Christian religions that is
challenging Christian churches
in many countries. In many
countries of Western Europe,
there is a continuing decline,
in numbers and influence, of
Christianity accompanied by a
growing blight of indifference
to the church and to organized
religion"
4. Race. He said the Metho-
dist church position is that

national policy. I'VE must be
against economic immortality
and responsibility as clearly
and as firmly as we are against
the vice and crime in any other
area of life. Corruption in busi-
ness, the exploitation of the
consumer. the irresponsible use
of economic power by manage

Of the business community
alone"
2. Public Schools. He called
upon Americans to stand firm

to divert tax funds to secterian
schools as an effort to breach
the wall Of separation of church
and state"
