critical; about several aspects. As far kkm as the programme to combatracism is concerned, there is a very good critique in an article theof August, 23, which you find in appendix.R. Rower in "Christ und Welt" is also critical, since the meeting inCanterbury weakens the good program of N.H., which results in a "harmlesshouse-document". For him it is the bureaucracy within the WCC thatis to blame for this.4 Itaily I only got hold of two Italian periodicals to read through.Settimana del Clero publishes a short article m in May about N.H.and refers to it on 7 September. Zki In this article the finaltext on racism is dealt with very carefully and precisely and it also goes intodetailx about the ongoing debates on this subject. Though it does not give a clearcomment, the whole makes the impression thatthey are in favor, thought with d, as the final text ta ofCanterbury was so much weaker than the originally proposed -.e-2N.H.The Netherlands theTrouw - Henk Biersteker published a series of 5 articles, With az title:"Conference about Racism". In this series he follows daily veryprecisely what is going on in N.H. (To my regret I have not been ableto read his articles on Canterbury). After the meeting in N.H. is over, we find onthe front page an article with the heading: Churches should combat racism as-agroup", which gives the proposals of N.H. and for the rest Uspeaks for itself.

-2Erik Boshuijzen publishes in "Vril Nederland" an 4 article aboutN.H. For the appendix I took only one line, since, in my opinion,this line is very representative for the public opinion in the Netherlands,namely that Mr. Feddema, in spite of his stay in South Africa, still sticks atIm the opinion that coloured people are ill-treated over there. This"in spite of" would give reason to believe that this is against the generalDutch Ax expectations.Sialo has published in 1969 a series of articles about "the fortune ofthe churches". In this connection Canterbury is also mentioned, especiallythe following two items:a) the decision to make ,wtzbfiux 20% of the reserves available forrpparat ions; andb) the statement that demands to abolisha the economic bloccade of Cuba." !De Rotterdmmer" of 15 August supports Fahter Paul Verghese, and calls thisfund of the 207. only a very weak gesture. The whole article is very critical, sinceit is the writer's opinion that there should be stronger actions.Apart from. "De Rotterdammer", that is ixxgumazk more reserved thanenthusiastic towards the WCC-meetings, most of the Dutch press in general ishopefully looking forward to what =1gkczmxdxxzx is going to be the result of allthe work done in N.H. and Canterbury.(N.B. I did not read the Volkskrant, the NRC and the Nieuwe Linie).

S witzerlandThe Swiss press in general expresses a great variety of opinionsApart from the sharp and primitive critique of the Gk.achrichten(see appendix) - which critique,by the way,was the cause of a correspondencebetween WCC and the editors, going into details, - we find several otherpapers in favor of N.H. and Canterbury. Especially Philippe Gillidronand A.HolensteirYote in A Vie Protestante (kxx 6 June) and in V 1t wZuercher Nachrichten (30 May) respectively, -l- positive articlethat shows their involvement. Of both articles you find the lastparagraphs in the appendix.9l2xpukifthes zkwdnx~VxxessentialNZZ has published 2,airticles on N.H., namely one before and one afterthe consultation.~L~ Africa - KenyaTo my gxxhlxlx great regret I .K# found very little in this continent.%eu article I found mm was fvom the East African Standard inKenya, . the complete text of whichyou find in the appendix. It is good article, but sincd, it was so small,I doubt whether it has been noticed or read by many people.New ZealandThe Rev. Taylor in his two articles draws clear conclusions with regard to thepresent situation in his own country, especially the relation with the............Another kx thing he mentioned was the boycot of theparticipation in sports events, as soon as South Africa is participating aswell (a very actual problem in the autmnn of 1969).jIn both articles Taylor mentions first the meaning of N.H. 3xkkuxx beforehe makes concrete conclusions.Fiji IslandsPCC News (newsletter of Fiji Council of Churches) reports on N.H., andalso gives concrete conclusions for the readers.

But Roy Jenkins when HomeSecretary did say in somewhat parliamentary jargon, integration -was "equalopportunity, accompanied by cultural diversity. in an atmosphere of mutualtolerance". - Alas the immigrant has seen the dream of integration fade 'intoassimilation.Mark Bonham-Carter as Director of the Race Relations Board, will speak onBritain's struggle to integrate. -The Liberal member of Parliament willundoubtedly push the legislative aspect of the Race Relations Act. But what theworld will be listening for is simply: are Christians' in general and the Church inparticular willing to pay the price for what the Archbishop of Canterbury hascalled "harmonious integration"?The World Council's new policy will be as meaningless as Governmentlegislation if its member churches merely take it as'another recommendation"for study and appropriate action". Teeth will be required in the policy and the

courage of Christian conviction by the churches to "do unto others as ye wouldhave them do unto you".

The frustrations with which many have continually tostruggle are more often than not aggravated by, if not actually due to, thestructural and functional malaise of the organisations through which the work ofChrist in the world has to be done. Most clergymen leaving the stipen. diaryministry or who have broken down under its strain blame 'the organisation' fortheir predicament. Many are deterred from entering it by fear of being trappedinside.

Naar zijn overtuiging gokken vele Invloedrijke blanken in Rhodesi mettegenzin op het bewind Smith. Engeland zou veel van het blanke eleetoraat vanSmith kunnen afknabbelen door bepaalde economische garanties te doen voor eenover. gangsperiode van tien joar an blanke zakenlieden In Zuld-Rhodesii. Velenvan hen hebben schade geleden door de economische boycot en zouden op dozemanier alsnog losgeweekt kunnen worden van Smith voordat doze op 20 juni a.s.zijn aangekondigd referendum over de nieuwe grondwet houdt.Toen hem de vraag gesteld word of hij gezien de praktische uitwerking van desancties nog wel zo'n voorstander van doze boycot is, zei Garfield Todd:Als de b2oycot algemeen was geweest zou Z1 meer en sneller effect hebbengehad, Zonder medewerking van ZuidAfrika en Portugal zou een doorbreking vande sancties nauweliks gelukt zijn. Op dat punt heeft Engeland naar hij zeide teweinlg druk ultgeoefend.

UESDAY, AY 20' 1%9W.C.C. to suggestaction on racismTWO AMEICAN Negro Churchmen warned yesterday that any World Churchprogramme to combat racism must deal first with the imbalance of power betweenwhites and blacks."The real issue is how do you re-distribute power among peoples so there can be afree dialogue". Mr. Charles Spivey of New York said.'The churches in the United States have perpetuated racism and will have to liveup to their consciences if racial questions are to be answered through churchstructures", ihe said.Mr. Spivey w'as comnmenting during the opening session of a six-day WorldCouncil of Churches zoonstrltation in the nature. cau.se and world-wideconsequences of racial conflict.

Chaired by the US. Senator George McGovern, the consultation is evaluatingChristian positions and actions on the race issue and is examining their social andtheological basis.It will recomnmend a programme of ecumenical education and action on racismto the World Council and its 235 member churches. "Can we accept the idea thatthe full blown theology of the peotle in power is-accepitable to owerless people ?". asked the Reverend Channing Phillips ofWashington. "I think not".The Reverend Phillips said that American churches "act too much out of pietyinqtead of reality" when dealing with racial issues,APARTHEIDTHE STRUGGLE AGAINhSTracism should be conducted in a non-violent manner as far as possible, the Dutchpastor, Dr. W. A. Visser't Hooft told a World Council .of Churdces conference onracism which opened in London yesterday.Dr. Hooft. a former secretary genera, of the Council, raising the issue of apartheidin South Africa, said that the struggle against racism .should not take on thevestiges of revolution, but should rather be based on "the traditional concept ofthe right of resistance to tyranny."You must go as far in a nonviolenl way as possible, but there hight come a timewhen the onlyr registance must becomeW"violent", the pastor told the conference which will run all week.Turning slpecificully to South Africa, Dr. Hooft said tiat the "tragedy of SoutlAfrica was, and is, that there is no real dialogue bet'wean the races."We have emphasised the struggle against apartheid rather tthan the strugglefor a society in ,which the various races would be able to live peacefully together,and so did not help the white South Africans sufficiently to find a way out of theirpredicament," said Dr. Ioo-ft.RACIAL CHURCHESThe Boston Uni-versity theologian, Dr. Robert Nelson, said the present worldracial situation may .'warrant the deliberate strengthening of minority racialChurcnes as the one worka:ble means of securing the changing of attitudes in aracist majority and ultimately of enabling the goal of genuine Christianconmtmity to be better realised."Dr. Nelson said the modern ecumenical movement aasumed too readily andtheoretically that the union of the demoninations in multi-ract., societies "wouldipso facto rsolve the problem of racial separateness in the Churches."He 'warned that "we must not claim too much for the power and efficacy oftheological convictions," in dealing with racial issues. "We must reaffirm to theworld the theology of humanity."One of the highlights of the consultation is a public meeting at Church House,Westminster, on Wednesday, when the Right Rev. Trevor :Huddleston, Bishopof Stipeney, and Mr. Oliver Tambo, head of the African National Congress.will speak on "racism as a major obstacle to world

comnmunity."Mr. 'Mark Bonham-Carter. chairman of the Race Relations Board, will speak onanti-discrimination legislation and the work of the board.-(Reuter. A..P., U.P.I.)

Race speag%-,ker"s 'wastin tioeColoured delegates w e r e unhappy at the detached tone of debate on the first dayof the World Council of Churches' consultation on racialism in Londonyesterday.Mr Ray Sawh, chairman of the Black Power Party, critio cised Professor KennethLittle, chairman of the Home OfficeAdvisory Committee onResearch into Race Relations, for his views on racialism accused theconference of wasting time, and saidracialism in Britain today had become institutionalised.Colour was at the root of racialism, he said, and it was useless to intellectualisewhile coloured people were being arrested and coloured babies were dying.The director of Mississippi Action for Community Education, Mr Eddie Brown,pressed for a practical approach, and Mr V. Joseph Matthews, a member of theAfrican National Congress, said the emphasis had to be shifted from dialogue towhat the Churches actually thought and wanted to be done.Professor Little had said the concept of race should beMr Garfield Todd, the former Prime Minister of Rhodesia, with the Rev.

London yesterdayrestricted to biological characteristics and not extended to cultural, intellectual,and other non-physical factors.Blatant racialism was outmnoded ;. white supremacists, excluding extremists,now emphasised cultural variations. The claim, ror example, that a. lot ofcoloured children would retard while children al. school could easily lead to theview that cultural differences were racial and therefore hereditary.Too many people took for granted that the customary he. haviour of a particularracial group, as well as its biological characteristics, was fixed by nature,.Dr W. A. Visser 't Hooft former general secretary of the World Council ofChurches, said the churches had notbeen sufficiently aware of the irrational and the economic factors in racialprejudice, and had not given enough emphasis to the sacrifices needed if racialjustice was to prevail.The great question was still can we have the advantages of cultural differenceswithout their obvious historical disadvantages ? "Professor J. Robert Nelson, a theologian from Boston University, said thechurches "have in some ways died today." Like Lazurus, they awaited a callback to life from God " and it may well be that the agent used by Christ for thisresurrection is the black person, the black community."

Angelic formMany people thought the Church ought to be racially inclusive, but perhaps theconcept of an inclusive community might prove to be "a demonic device, in anangelic form, whereby racial minorities are actually suppressed by themajority." It might be better to strengthen minority racial churches, in order tochanf:e the attitude of the racialist majority as a step towards genuine Christiancommunity.The chairman of the meeting is Senator George McGovern. who sought theDemocraticnomination for the American presidency last year and is a .leading Methodist.Campbell Page.
