Minister in Atlanta
Advocates Parochial
Schools for Baptists
ATLANTA, Ga.—In an article
by Davenport Steward, which ap
peared in The Atlanta Journal,
dated January 16, the Rev. J.
LcRoy Steele, pastor of the Inman
Park Baptist Church, is qouted as
declaring in a sermon delivered
on the previous Sunday evening
that it would be a good idea for
Baptists to emulate the parochial
schools of the Catholics, thus
protecting their religious teach
ings from outside interference in
public schools and that he would
start such a school in the fall
if he had the money. He com
mended the wisdom of Catholics
in operating their own schools.
Speaking to his congregation
the Sunday before, Dr. Steele had
charged that Herbert Phillips,
head coach and English teacher
at Bass High School, taught the
theory of evolution in the course
of remarks to an English class.
Charging that the teacher did
not ask either parents or children
for permission to “tell students
God’s word is a lie,” he said, “If
we can’t teach religion in the
high school?, then let no teacher
attack religion.”
“I dare any teacher to tell my
little girl that the Bible her daddy
teaches is a lie,” Dr. Steele added.
The minister remarked in pass
ing that the Rev- Joseph Rabun,
a Baptist pastor who disagreed
with him in a leUer to newspapers
would “never be elected gover
nor of Georgia after writing what
he did.” Dr. Rabun has stated
that it is his intention to seek
election in the gubernatorial cam
paign this year.
