Churches To Register Conscientious Objectors
The Lawrence Ministerial Alliance has designated Sunday, May 19, as Peace Emphasis Sunday and has requested the churches to take a register of conscientious objectors to war in their congregations on that date.
"It was found in the first World War that the government suffered considerable embarrassment from the fact that it had not taken into consideration the point of view of the conscientious objector. Since that time, the historic peace churches such as the Quaker, the United Brethren, and the Mennonites have made available for the government their church rolls for reference, if and when war comes. Since this procedure gives the conscientious objector a much better chance of being recognized at face value, rather than being so undefended against the charges of cowardice and unpatriotic behaviours, it was thought that we of the Ministerial Alliance could do no less for our congregations than the peace churches have done.
The reasons for taking such a register are found in this quotation from alliance report:
"We feel that any person who takes the stand of a conscientious objector now, and who does not forsake his belief under stress of war certainly merits our respect and any protection, we, as a Ministerial Alliance, can offer."
