Clergy Undecided On Arms Ban Day
Lawrence churchmen had mixed feelings about the principles underlying "World Order Sunday," to be celebrated. Oct. 23.
United Press International reports that a special message, drafted by the General Board of the National Council of Churches, will be read from thousands of pulpits in observance of "World Order Sunday," this week.
The message stresses the urgency of finding a way to halt the nuclear-missiles arms race before the world stumbles into a war of annihilation.
The Rev. John H. Patton, director of Westminster Foundation said:
The ministers of some of the local churches were called and asked if their churches would participate.
"Americans must realize that we cannot say the arms race is entirely Russia's fault. As the balance of power is now in the hands of the small nations, these little nations may bring about an alternative on the nuclear arms race situation. We must make a choice between total enslavement and destruction. These are the two present alternatives.
"To be a nuclear pacifist would require a national act of faith.
"Are we ready for this act of faith?" he asked.
"The other alternative would be a compromise between the USSR and the U.S.," the Rev. John Patton said. "This would require understanding."
Albert J. Parker III, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, said that

"I don't accept the idea that trust between nations is impossible." Rev. Dr. Albert F. Bramble, First Methodist Church, said. "The Christian techniques of spirit implement love and concern. This could break down our enemies resistance or fear. The nuclear pacifists position is important for the United States and the United Nations even though the realistic position is more practical," he said.
because the complex magnitude of the issue is so great people try to isolate themselves. They do not believe themselves to be responsible for the world situations, said Rev. Albert Parker.
NEW YORK — (UPI)— The General Council of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. passed a resolution yesterday expressing its "outrage and concern at the exploitation" of the religious issue in the presidential campaign.
Outrage Expressed On Religious Issue
The Council, coordinating body of the Church, cited a resolution passed last May by the General Assembly of the Church urging voters not to support a candidate because of his religious affiliation.
The Council said it resented secular attempts to make churches appear irrelevant to American life. "current efforts to make Protestant convictions appear to be bigotry" and "propaganda implying that Roman Catholics are irresponsible citizens."
