MANY well-intentioned in
dividuals and groups, alarmed
by misinformation, have added
their voices and support to the
attack. 1t Is now difficult for
the general public to know what
to believe"
The National Council OF
Churches, he said, "is the most
worthy and valuable organiza-
ton of united and cooperative
Christian activity in this Coun-
try"
But, he said, accusations of
communism against the group
have flourished.
Major Word of Caution"
The national council, he de-
clared, "is not Communist in
spired or supported. It does
not have Communist members
among its leaders or employees.
Herein lies the greatest
danger and my major word of
caution. Using the word Com
munist' loosely or falsely
against those whom we do not
approve is the surest way to
divide this country and to
undermine our security against
real communism"
Bishop Gibson's address came
at the beginning of the diocese's
166th Annual Council, which
runs today and tomorrow at
Truro Church in the town of
Fairfax.
The 54-year-old bishop is
a graduate Of the Virginia
Theological Seminary in Alex
andria and formerly taught
there.
He entered the ministry at
the age of 80, after spending
several years teaching and a
period as a public relations man
for a soft drink company.
In 1949. he was named Suf- =
fragan Bishop Of Virginia, and
five years later was elected CO.
adjutor Off the diocese.

Virginia Episcopolions
Install Bishop Gibson
The new Episcopal Bishop Of

The new Episcopal Bishop OF
Virginia warned today against
loose accusations of commu-
nism. and defended the National
Council Of Churches from such
attacks.
The Right Rev. Robert Fisher
Gibson, jr., spoke after his in
stallation as the 10th bishop OF
the Diocese of Virginia, which
includes the area north of the
James River.
Bishop Gibson also strongly
urged that local churches fol-
low the recommendation of a
diocesan racial study commit
btee which will urge inter-raeial
meetings within churches.
BY this means, he said, 1--WE
can best permit the reconciling
love Of Christ to deepen and
guide our lives in the area OF
racial differences"
Metro Area Singled Out
The bishop also promised to
give increasing attention to
church problems in metropoli-
tan areas such as Northern Vir-
ginia. which he described as
having "the greatest unmet
need at the present time"
Bishop Gibson's remarks con-
cerning the Council of
Churches referred to attacks
on the group which represents
all the m ajor Protestant
churches in the country plus
a number Of smaller ones.
He expressed his deep con-
cern over the growing criticism
and propaganda" against the
council, which he said have
appeared in ever ymedium of
communication.
The attacks, he, said, CON
tain much false, misleading
and distorted information" and
are sponsored in part "by a
small group of denominations
which have banded together as
the American Council of
Churches in their opposition to
the larger body.
