shop that if this happened, the
region could become a "viable,
unit of Christian mission, ecu
menical and catholic in scope."
"Traditionally the Southern
sect-type Protestantisn stres
ses individualism in religious
experience," he said^ "with
little attention to social theory
or ethics. Traditionally, con
cern is with personal morality
rather than social problems,
with surface cures rather than
basic causes, with salvation by
enthusiasm rather than evan
gelism.
"The fact that prophetic
voices In pulpit and pew are
today increasingly vocal in
criticism of what was form
erly defended is obviously dis
concerting and confusing to
many traditional Protestants."
"Historically," the profes
sor explained, "the Southern
er was rooted in the plantation
system, in a segregated bi-
racial pattern, instates* rights,
and in fundamentalistic Pro
testantism.
"This Southern synthesis has
been as much sanctioned and
endowed with divinity by Pro
testantism as ever was the
medieval synthesis by Catho
licism."
Dr. Brewer asserted that the
"dominance of traditionalistic
Protestantism, in its peculiar
Southern form, must loosen its
hold on the minds of the South
before the region can enter fully
into the pluralistic mainstream
of American economic, social,
political and religious life.*’
"This restless region," he
continued, "contains enough
commonality of history and tra
dition, and of contemporary
problems and pathos that it
could serve as a viable unit of
Christian mission, ecumenical
and catholic in scope.’*
Noting that the "lump" of
Southern _s_ociety is in "vital
ferment," Dr. Brewer ques
tioned whether the "leaven is
more of Christ or of culture."
He urged the ministers to
"get into the world.”

Inmates at the Minnesota State

$338 in the past three months
toward a proposed ecumenical
chapel at the prison.

furnishings.”
He said the need is not only
for a chapel but for counseling
rooihs and office space.
This is no mean feat said
Father Francis J. Miller, Cath
olic chaplain, because the 800
prisoners are paid 20 cents to
$1 a day.
Chaplain Dorn said the pro
posed chapel facilities would
help train clergymen for prison
service. "Right now they're
using cells," he said.
"Traditionalistic Protestan
tism," which has "endowed
with divinity” the Southern
way of life, must loosen its grip
on the region if the South is
to enter the mainstream of
American life, a seminary pro
fessor declared here.

"Many of them come from
religious homes,” he said.
’The chapel has been a
thought on my mind all the
years I have been here," said
Father Miller, who has served
at the prison since 1928. He
credited the prisoners and
John T. McDonough, probate
judge in Stillwater and a mem
ber of the Minnesota Parole
Board, with carrying out his
chapel idea.
Judge McDonough was elected
president of the newly-
organized 'The Rev. Francis
J. Miller Memorial Foundation,
Inc.” formed to solicit funds
for a $200,000 chapel and to
finance a chaplain training pro
gram at the prison.
Vice-presidents are Rabbi
Nahum Schulman of Mikro Ko-
desh Synagogue, Minneapolis,
and Bishop Hamilton H. Kellogg
of the Episcopal Diocese of Min
nesota.
Directors of the foundation
include Archbishop Leo Binz of
the Archdiocese of St. Paul and
Minneapolis; Dr. Melvin A.
Hammarberg, president of the
Minnesota Synod, Lutheran
Church in America; and the Rev,.
Roy V. Dorn, prison chaplain
for Lutheran Social Service of
Minnesota.
Protestant, Catholic and Jew
ish worship services for the
inmates are now conducted in
the prison auditorium which
seats about 1,000 persons.
"It’s just like getting out into
a 20-acre field to talk to these
men,” Father Miller said.
"Still they come.”
"We feel a chapel seating
200 to 300 would serve all our
needs," he said. “If we can
raise $200,000, we can put up
a fairly good building. Any-

"If I get the chapel built, I

"Too often," he said, "the
structures of the church are de
voted to private housekeeping
duties, with most of the church’s
functions being carried on with
in the building and for the mem
bers. We tend to organize our
selves in such a way as never
to engage theworld in the world,
but only insofar as it comes into
the house we call God’s —
which He may not claim."
On the search for new church
forms, Dr. Brewer observed
that the phrase "religious in
novation” is a "jarring" one.
"We speak of innovations in art
and science, but not in religion.
We speak of old time religion,
not innovation. You don't get
that idea from the New Testa
ment.”

Seminarians, Children Sing
To Bring Smiles To The Sick
BY MARY LACKIE
"Michael, Row the Boat
Ashore” was a good theme
song during the storm Saturday
when children and seminarians
from St. Paul of the Cross
parish visited Happy Haven and
Pineview nursing homes.
In the dim light of the rooms
at Happy Haven, children visited
with patients and distributed
candy. "Where haveyoubeen?"
one woman asked. "I’Ve been
waiting two weeks for you to
come back."
"Do Lord, Oh, do Lord, oh
do remember me!” the chil
dren sang, accompanied by the
guitars and strumming the "gut
bucket”. The patients nodded
their heads and smiled as the
rain poured down outside the
old building.
At Pineview nursing home,
two girls danced to the song,
"Hello, Dolly!" Onepatientsaid
to Father Leary, "These chil
dren know it's right to do right—
you’re a preacher, aren’tyou?”
These are some of the scenes
repeated by children of St. Paul
of the Cross parish and seven
Passionist seminarians who
work together to brighten the
lives of the sick and shut-in
in the Atlanta area.
“This summer has given us
new insight," said Father
Thomas Brislin, deacon. And
the schedule has kept both
deacons and seminarians busy,
said Father Leary.
The "summer apostolate"
for the seminarians is in its
second year. Their daily sche
dule begins with work in tutorial
programs at elementary
schools, Headstart, and pro
jects at Pitts school and Gun
Club Road recreation center.
The seminarians spend their
afternoons working in recre
ation programs at Wesley
Avenue Ehy Camp, Perry and
Bolan Homes, and "Operation
Champ."
Home visits are a regular
part of the evening’s schedule.
"The hospitality is out
standing,” said Brice Edwards,
seminarian. Some of the group
attended “The Church and
Change" programs and meet
ings of SWAP.
The seven seminarians alter
nate Saturday visits to the
nursing homes and Our Lady
of Perpetual Help Cancer Home
and Camilla St. Nursing Home,
Father Leary said.
"Informal Bible services"
are held on Sundays at the
nursing homes. "The patients
make up their own prayers;
sing hymns, and the semi- •
narians give a sermon," Father
Leary said.
Seminarians found time to
plan folk Masses at St. Paul
of the Cross on Sunday morn
ings. This Saturday marks the
end of the "summer aposto
late". The men will pack up
their guitars and return to St.
Michael's Monastery, Union
City, N.J., to continue their
studies. "I hope we can come
back next summer," a semi
narian said, "I know some of
us will.”
Anti- Poverty Aide Fired
WASHINGTON (NC) —The
United Planning Organization,
Washington’s local anti
poverty agency, has fired one of
its officials who criticized the
UPO’s birth control policies.
Mrs. Ruby Evans, director of
girls’ services for UPO, was
fired a week after she stood up
at a UPO-sponsored conference
and criticized birth control
programs for the poor. She al
so said that unwed mothers
should not be prevented from
having more babies.
Hal Witt, UPO’s acting ex
ecutive director, said Mrs.
Evans was fired for "making a
statement which appeared to be
UPO policy (but) which was con
trary to UPO policy.”
UPO has disseminated birth
control information through its
neighborhood centers and has
received federal funds to estab
lish a new central birth control
clinic for the District of Colum
bia.
Mrs. Evans’ statements were
not her first opposing the birth
control program, which she
says is symptomatic of the
city's view that the poor, and
particularly unwed mothers,
are a "despised minority."
