Goes From Atlanta to North
Catholics, Protestants and Jews Discussed
Grammar Schools
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
TAMPA, Fla.—A plea for toler
ance was one of the outstanding
points in the discussion at the first
meeting of the Tampa Conference
of Catholics, Protestants and Jews,
called by Rabbi L. Elliot Grafman.
The conference consists of a com
mittee from the ministerial alli
ance, including: Rev. Willis G.
Clark, St, Andrews Episcopal
Church; Rev. C. W. Duke, First
Baptist Church; Rev. Wm. J. Rea
gan, S. J., Sacred Heart Catholic
Church; Rev. William P. Sham-
hart, Northside Christian Church;
Rev. C. H. H. Branch. Hyde Park
Presbyterian Church; Rev. Thomas
Turreli, Unitarian Church, and
Rabbi Grafman of the Jewish Tem
ple. Schaarai Zedelc.
The purpose of the conference
was stated and approved as fol
lows: “The purpose of our com
mittee is to promote mutual un
derstanding and good will in the
place of suspicion and ill will in
the entire range of our inter-religi
ous and social relationships. Be
cause of our mutual respect for the
integrity of each other’s religion'
and our desire that each religion
shall have the fullest opportunity
for its development and enrichment,
we have no proselyting purposes.
“It is the further purpose of this
conference to create conditions in
our community that will not'permit
anti-Semitism; to promote toler
ance in the sense of appreciation
and mutual respect among Protest
ants, Catholics, and Jews; further
to undertake a program of actual
and active cooperation in interests
which are common to all these
groups.
The conference included a lengthy
and thorough discussion of the
various opportunities for further
ing better relationships among the
religious groups in the city. The
members or the committee who
were present at this first meeting
were enthusiastic and unanimous in
their decision and readiness to op
pose any attempts at unjust prac
tices, which might come to their
notice.
It was decided that the confer
ence should remain a permanent
one locally for the purposes stated.
The program contemplates enlarg
ing the membership to include more
local denominational representation.
Laymen will probably be invited to
membership in the conference it
self, and it is planned to make ar
rangements for occasional meetings
open to the general public. The
conference desires that all its pro
ceedings shall be open to public in
formation.
