THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1963 GEORGIA BULLETIN PAGE BERNARD S. DUNSTAN State Knights Elect Deputy From Augusta MACON — Bernard S. Dun- stan of Augusta was elected State Deputy at the 61st con vention of the Georgia State Council, Knights of Columbus, held here last weekend. Others named to state office are Emmett Moylan, Savannah, secretary, John A. O'Connor, Atlanta, treasurer, Peter O’ Malley, Warner Robins, advo cate, and Ed L. Jones, Macon, warden. JOSEPH J. Zwicknagel, De catur, became Past State De puty when he did not seek re- election, to replace Hugh H. Grady, Savannah, who had been Past State Deputy in the Zwick nagel administration. Besides routine matters on the agenda of the State Council, one of the principal business items was the approval of a pro posal by J. Gregg Puster, state public relations chairman, that a booklet be published and dis tributed by the Georgia Knights of Columbus, listing all the parishes, stations, missions and other places where Mass is celebrated regularly. MONSIGNOR W. L. Clasby, chaplain general of the US Air Force, was the speaker at the dinner dance Saturday night, and stressed the need for active charity on the part of all Ca tholic laymen, in all facets of the word’s meanings, as a force to stamp out communism and to build a solid and united front as a bulwark against the anti- Christ attitudes which are en slaving more than a billion people. Another billion are in the "free world", the Air Force Colonel continued, and appro ximately a third billion are "on the brink of decision". He urged the Knights and their ladles at the convention to put charit>- into positive action in the home, with example and prayer, and to present an image to the non-Cathollc world of "dignity and sobriety in keeping with the teachings of Jesus Christ." The three-day program in cluded a dance Friday night, a fashion show and luncheon for the ladles Saturday afternoon which was the finals of the program and convention. The business sessions and election of officers were held Saturday afternoon and Sun day morning, following the 8 o’ clock Mass in St. Jseph's Church, of which Rev. Thomas Payne, State Chaplain, was celebrant, and Rev. John Fitz patrick chaplain of Macon Council, preached the sermon. An invitation from Savannah Council to hold the 1964 con vention in that histotic sea- coast city was accepted with the late-May dates to be an nounced later. DUNSTAN, the new state de puty, served as state advocate last year, and O'Malley, past grand knight of Sacred Heart Council, Warner Robins, was the only other 1962-63 officer to be elected to a post in the new administration. Nick Camerio, past state de- put)’, Phil Powell, past grand knight, and Bill Syme, Jr., de puty grand knight of Macon Council, served as co-chair man of the convention commit tee. Registrations were listed at more than 100 Knights, from all Councils in the State, and with their ladies brought the total attendance to approximately 300 over the three-day program.

Look For Oscar ST. LOUIS, Mo. (RNS) — Father Hans Kueng, Swiss-born theologian who has stirred con troversy within the Roman Cat holic Church with his pleas for freedom, has a great desire to put the Church in ist proper perspective, a prominent pr iest-editor said here. A personal account of Father Kueng was given to readers of the St. Louis Review, official newsweekly of the St. Louis ar chdiocese, by the paper's ed itor, Msgr. Daniel Moore, in an article entitiled: "What Is Father Kueng Really Like?" MSGR. MOORE said he was basing his opinions of Father Kueng, dean of the theological faculty at Tuebingen University, Germany, on several hours of private conversation with him and from two readings of his book, "The Council, Reform and Reunion." "His great desire seems to be to put the Church In its pro per perspective," wrote the pr iest-editor. "To help those out side her to see her clearly, to help those Inside her to en joy her fully." Father Kueng, a consultant to the Second Vatican Council, has been making an extensive lec ture tour of the U. S. In sev eral talks he has concentrated on the need for the Church to function in an atmosphere of freedom. He has advocated such chan ges as abolition of the Church’s Index of Forbidden Books and relaxation of the rules onmixed marriages between Catholics and non-Catholics. Msgr. Moore noted that Fat her Kueng’s suggestion regard ing the Index is looked upon by some as "opening the gates to mass defection." "DR. KUENG wouldbeamong the last ones to espouse a meas ure that would endanger the faith of Catholics," the St. Louis edi tor wrote. "Freedom, res ponsibility', maturity and order are, in his overview of the nat ure of the Church, all linked together." Abolition of the Index, Msgr. Moore said, would not "repeal the Divine law that requires us to protect the gift of faith. Rat her, it would place greater re sponsibility on the individual and therefore, call for and de mand maturity not now evi denced in members of the Ch urch.” Msgr. Moore praised Father Kueng for "the quiet, calm PRIEST TO MINISTEjj Reunion Distant But Needed Now JUHAN'S CLEANERS Kxpm • Ptrionalli.d Scrvlc* Olvtn to Every Oarm.nt Coming Inio Our Plant III N.

N.E. ATLANTA. GEORGIA SANTA ROSA, Calif., (NC) -- A Catholic priest told 300 Presbyterian ministers and elders that Christian reunion is still distant but efforts at cooperation toward that end could and should be made now. Msgr. Walter J.Tappe, Vicar General of the Diocese of San ta Rosa, who accompanied Bis hop Leo T. Maher of Santa Rosa to the first session of the ecu menical council last fall, spoke on the council at the annual Northern California Presbytery convention here. At the end of the convention session, all present joined in a prayer for the success of the council and the health of His Holiness Pope John XXIIL MSGR. TAPPE, after detail ing the work of the council, discussed the possibility of Ch ristian reunion which, he said, is obviously a long way off. He noted, however, three areas in which churches could help spur the cause of unity: joint efforts to correct historical er rors which feed prejudices; in tensified study of the spiritua lity of all churches, and cont inue dialogue among theo logians. Dialogue should be restricted currently to theologians, Msgr. Tapp said. "At the present stage in the development to wards unity, too much haste, CYO Hop The St. Jude’s CYO Spring Hop will be held Saturday, May 18th from 8 PM to 11 PM in the St. Jude's School Cafe- torium. The dress is informal and the donation is 50£ per person. The dance band, one of At lanta ’s most popular is Bruce Fitzgerald and his Bonnevilles. Students from the 9th grade thr ough the 12th grade are wel come. Impatience with measurable re sults and too broad a base in and about the dialogue could re sult In mere argumentation or vulgar attempts at proselyti zing," he said. "If the dialogue is to be suc cessful," he continued, "parti cipants must never view their counterparts as adversaries. Both sides must acknowledge that their listeners are inqu irers who sincerely seek the truth and want nothing more than a solidly founded, clear exposition of doctrine without reservation." SECONDLY, he said, all Ch ristians could easily cooperate in Joint efforts to correct errors in history, economics and pol ity. "We all might admit that as much harm has been done to good relations between the var ious Christian bodies by 'bad' historians, sociologists and politicians as by ‘bad’ theolo gians," Msgr. Tappe said. Poor history books, he con tinued, have been responsible for starting, maintaining and spreading much of the ill-will, suspicion and misunderstanding that have plagued the Christian w orld. Joint cooperation in cor recting such errors, he said, could well rid Christians of many of their psychological prejudices. HE SUGGESTED that the ministers might wish to give their parishioners copies of Pope John’s encyclicals Mater et Magistra and Pacem in Ter ris in order to present the mind of the Catholic Church on cur rent problems affecting the whole world. Lastly, Msgr. Tappq recom mended that efforts be made to discover and understand the spirituality of all churches. "It wouldn’t hurt any of us to ad mit that ’goof people* abound in all religious" he said. courage he has displayed in is suing his message and spelling out the specifics." "I say 'quiet, calm cour age’ because, on the one hand, he is very serene in both public and private. Some seem to have the impression before hearing him that he is a podium-poun der searching for a prominent church door on which he can tack some theses. Nothing could be further from the truth,” the editor said. Msgr. Moore said Father Kueng may or may not merit a place in Church history'. "I think Hans Kueng him self is entirely indifferent to that possibility. But he isn't indifferent to the nature of the Church. And neither should we be. And I would think that be cause of men like Hans Kueng the students of the 21st century will find such Indifference im possible," he said. Msgr. Moore described the theologian as "a shy person with simple tastes who owns a Vol kswagen back home and who turns on the radio as soon as he gets in your car (’I hear so little moosick these days’)... " A WRITER who has been accused of distorting Marlology RHODE ISLAND but who constantly refers to the Blessed Mother tenderly and devoutly as ’Our Lady’ in his conversation. . . " A reformer who pleads for Christian charity and practices it. A good-natured, young pro fessor who, after lecturing for nearly an hour and a half, is quite willing to spend another hour conversing with a multi tude of interested listeners who come upon him from every side." Msgr. Moore noted the "mix ed reaction" to Father Kueng’s talks across the nation, ranging from "especially critical" to "unreserved praise" and "from cries of ’heretic 1' to worshipful adulation." ONE CATHOLIC publication, he said, carried an article which said that those responsible for inviting him to speak on the Bos ton College campus would sooner or later come to regret the whole business.” That observation, Msgr. Moore added, "would probably apply to (Joseph) Cardinal Rit ter (Archbishop of St. Louis), who extended the invitation to the Swiss theologian to speak here and who dignified the lec ture with his presence.” Baptists Urge Test Of Textbook Law PROVIDENCE, R.L, (NC)— A resolution favoring a court test case of the new state law which provides textbooks and other aid for private and parochial schools was adopted by dele gates at the 137th Baptist State convention here. The (April 28) resolution said Baptists should "reaffirm our opposition to the use of public tax revenues for the support of religious schools." The dele gates adopted an amendment offering their "collective sup port in favor of judicial action" OLA Patrol Boys Trip On Friday, May 3, the St. Martin’s Council on Human Re lations spoke to the Junior and Senior Classes of Marist school concerning racial relations. Moderated by Alfred Law- ton, the Council explored the political, economic, historical, scientific, educational, reli gious and moral aspects of seg regation and its consequences.

The panel is composed of Catholic leaders, both white and Negro, In business and civic affairs In the Atlanta area. After completion of the lec tures, the panel received ques tions from the students. These covered a variety' of topics and yielded much additional in formation. The seminar lasted approximately two hours. The St. Martin’s Council is a panel set up by Archbishop Paul J.

Members of the resolutions committee explained that the amendment did not necessarily mean the church organization would initiate a challenge to the law.
