stance of Christianity is pre
sented.
“Can we study our past when
men acted less honorably than
Christ called for? Our present
needs in the warmth of His com
passion? Our dreamof the fu
ture in the abundance of His
words the night before He died,
“that all may be one. . .that
the world may believe.”?
“Prospects of Worship” was
the theme of the final discus
sion. The archbishop explained
the progress of this first com
pleted document, the Conciliar
and Post - conciliar Com
missions, the U. S. Bishops'
Commission on Liturgical Af
fairs, and the Atlanta Diocesan
Liturgy Commission, in all of
which he has had a part. He
also described the "common
market” of 10 English-speak
ing nations which have formed
an International Committee.
‘The Church’s liturgy,” the
Atlanta archbishop said, "is
a treasure-house, 'giving forth
things old and new, stamping on
hejr_,Qwn,ljas time -required it,
a deeper impress of the face
of Christ.’ The process of ex
perimentation, participation,
adaptation will not be easy. But
as Cardinal Newman said of
theology, there must be a “slow
anxious, painful taking up” of
the new into the familiar, a
"patient, diligent working out
of one doctrine from many ma
terials.”
Knights Remove
Race Barriers
MACKINAW ISLAND, Mich.
—A resolution welcoming all
practical Catholic men regard
less of race or color into mem
bership was adopted here by the
Michigan Knights of Columbus.
The action (May 28) by some
300 delegates representing
59,677 members at the or
ganization’s three-day annual
convention deplored the impli
cation of racial discrimination
connected with the recent denial
of membership to a Negro who
had filed an application with the
Msgr. Flanagan Council in De
troit.
The delegates unanimously
adopted a carefully worded res
olution answering charges that
flared after the membership
application of Charles Jackson,
Detroit Negro detective, had
been rejected twice in less than
a year.
Three members of the De
troit police department council
quit in protest. They included 1
Msgr. Francis X. Canfield, rec-
! tor of Sacred Heart Seminary,J'
i Detroit,: “and chaplain of the - rf
NUN DECLARES
police department.
In the 9,200-word resolu
tion, the Knights said here it
was impossible to determine
the actual reason for Jackson’s
rejection since his membership
application was decided by sec
ret ballot.
Supreme Council laws pro
vide an applicant is deemed
elected if negative ballots do
not exceed one-third of the
members present. It was re
ported that Jackson’s applica
tion was turned down by one vote
more than one-third of the
members present.
The resolution said there "is
no way to determine” who were
the members who rejected the
application, nor their reasons
for the action.
The resolution said the
Knights, as Catholic men, adopt
"wholeheartedly and espouse
without, reservation the teach
ings of Holy Mother Church as
they, relate to the brotherhood
of all men, regardless of race,

Melkite Exarch
Consecrated
BOSTON—Bishop Justin Na-
my, the United States’ first
Melkite-rite bishop, was con
secrated here as the spiritual .
leader of some 50,000 Ameri
can Melkite-rite Catholics.
Bishop Najmy was consecra
ted (May 29) by a former se
minary classmate and arch
bishop of his home town, Arch
bishop Athanasius Toutoundji
of Aleppo, Syria. Coconsecra-
tors were Archbishops Georges
Hakim of Galilee and PaulAch-
kar of Lattakieh, Syria.
Bishop Najmy will head the
Apostolic Exarchate for Mel-
kites in the U.S. It consists
of 25 parishes scattered
throughout the country, former
ly under the jurisdiction of lo
cal bishops of the Latin Rite.
Among those attending the
Rites from Atlanta were Father
William F. Haddad and Mr. Jos.
Shikaney.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (RNS) -
There was mixed reaction here
and from a number of church
men around the country as pre
parations were completed for
the White House Conference on
Civil Rights.
Apprehension hinged on the
question: would the conference
deal in generalities or in speci
fics?
Among the critics on the eve
of the White House parley was
l high-ranking executive of the
National Council of Churches’
Commission on Religion and
Race.
The list of delegates at the
forthcoming parley, called by
President Johnson, showed a
high proportion of clergymen
and leaders of minority groups.
Some have been highly critical
of the goals set in planning for
the sessions.
In New York, several rights
advocates described the Con
ference as “a frivolous exer
cise which will accomplish no
thing.”
Among those making the
statement were: Dr. Anna Arn
old Hedgeman of the National
Council of Churches; Dr. Jesse
Lyons, pastor of New York’s
Riverside church; Dr. Benjamin
F. Payton, excutive director of
the NCC’s Commission on Re
ligion and Race.
Members of the New York
pre - White House Conference
Committee, they claimed the
meeting could benefit only Ne
groes. "We reject,” they said,
"the President’s published
statement that if Puerto Ricans
or Mexican-Americans want a
White House Conference let
them ask for it.’ We cannot
accept, the doctrine of separate
but equal White House Confer
ences.”
They charged that the Con
ference would fail because of
failed to specify the methods to
finance needed projects.
"In New York City,” a state
ment said, “the Welfare De
partment grants a 'rat allow
ance' to some welfare clients
-extra money for electric lights
to keep the rats at bay.
‘The share of America’s de
prived: minorities in the fe
deral government’s domestic
and foreign spending is in the
nature of a bigger ‘rat allow
ance.’ No slum is replaced by
a war-induced gross national
product.”
Dr. Payton was not quite so
critical as some New Yorkers,
but he said the priorities set
up by the White House planning
■group required considerable al
tering to assure minorities
equal opportunities and rights.
‘The nation’s commitment to
its deprived minorities,” he
said, "is tentative and condi
tional — hedged in with ifs,
buts and maybes. This com
mitment lacks dollar signs,:

Church Discriminates
Against Women
der pressure reluctantly ad
mitted 17 women as observers
in the final two conclaves.
“Only one American nun, Sis
ter Luke, a Sister of Loretto,
was officially present—and she
not as a delegate but as an ob
server.”
One place that id "worrying
about the present condition of
women,” she said, is the Catho
lic women’s colleges in the U.S.,
where students ’ learn to be
come persons through numer
ous personal encounters...
where they grapple with and
domesticate the wild untamed
truths of the Gospel and learn
how to accept the brute fact
that loving your neighbor as
yourself means being as patient
and as strong as Christian
love.”
Colleges, she said, "should
help you to become the intel
lectuals of tomorrow—not egg
heads, not disengaged brains,
but whole, complete, rational
persons oriented to things of the
mind and sensitive to the arts
which civilize and interpret hu
man life.”

CHICAGO (NC)~A "radical
change” in methods for train
ing future priests in seminar
ies throughout the United States
is described in an article in a
Catholic magazine,
"From Boston to San Fran
cisco, various orders and dio
cesan educators are adapting
the monastic styles of semi
nary life to ways more compat
ible with the needs of the *New
Breed’,’’ the article by staff
writer Sally Leighton states in
the June issue of U.S, Catholic
magazine.
The young men studying for
the priesthood today are so dif
ferent from those of former
years that new methods are es
sential, Miss Leighton says, if
the seminary training is not to
backfire. She cites expulsions,
and other sudden drops in en
rollment at a number of semi
naries, as examples of what can
happen when the traditional
methods of another generation
are enforced on young men of
this generation.
"For example, the call of
impersonal, institutional bells
can seem an insult to today's
Spock-spawned specimens,”
she says. "Reared on permis
siveness, they have balked at
all - pervasive authoritarian
systems. Used to mothers and
fathers who often as it pre
faced an order with some var
iation of, ‘Come, let us reason
together,’ they have not adap
ted well to a seminary system
where all the 'reasoning* was
done on high. Nor have recent
events in sdme of the public
life of the Church reassured
virile young men that obedience
is the cardinal virtue; rather
they have come to suspect that
authority may be designed to
un-man them unless veryprop-
erly used.
