GEORGIA BULLETIN, THURSDAY, AUGUST, 29, 1968 9 SCLC’S DR. YOUNG Non-Violent Revolution Still Possible WASHINGTON, D.C. (RNS)-Non-violent revolution is still possible today, but Christians must be willing to die for it, an aide to the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., told some 4,500 participants in the 1968 Liturgical Week here. “Anybody celebrating the reconciliation between God and man must concern himself with the reconciliation between himself and his brother,” the Rev. Andrew J. Young, executive vice-president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), said in a keynote address last week. Theme of the week was ‘‘Revolution: Christian Responses.” The event is sponsored annually by the National Liturgical Conference, an unofficial Catholic organization which claims 7,000 members. Young’s address was preceeded by the presentation of'an award to Miss Dorothy Day, founder r VOTE FOR ★ COUNTY COMMISSIONER 1st DISTRICT DEKALB COUNTY . EXPERIENCED IN ROAD BUILDING .

The presentation was made by Father Clarence J. Rivers, Director of the. National Institute of Drama and Ritual and widely known for his “folk” liturgical music. Father Rivers read the citation as two projectors beamed images visualizing his concepts onto a screen behind the rostrum. Miss Day gave a brief acceptance speech in which she insisted that the non-violent revolution must continue to be non-violent. In his talk, Young called upon the Liturgical Week registrants to look upon the world as a table. “At our end we are dying of obesity,” he said, “and at the other end they are dying of starvation.” He added: “If the earth is the Lord’s, how can we go on day after day glutting ourselves while others starve?” Thus, he said, “the first thing about the liturgy is that it must be a liturgy of penance, because we pay taxes to murder people.” In the liturgy, he noted, men come together to ask God how He can use them to reconcile the world. This is the “ministry of Something New At The Farm! Will serve luncheon down-stairs in the new and handsome dining room - 11:30 — to 2:30 . The bar will be open to serve your preferred beverage.

It is a ministry that is riot only to individuals; it “must also cope with institutions, the structures, the powers” of American society. “We have to expand our concept of the Gospel,” he insisted. values, Young suggested; “God did not baptize democracy or America;” He then turned to the central question: “Is the non-violent revolution still possible?” and asked another question: “Can America be saved and is it worth saving?” “The earth is the Lord’s, and it must truly be brought into the service of His people...The ministry of reconciliation must be exploded so that people get out of their little churches.” He said that prior to Dr. King’s death, the assassinated civil rights leader had planned to broaden the base of his campaign to free men from oppression, not only in the U.S. but throughout the world. Vietnam, Africa and Latin America were the principal areas, he said. “The ‘clash of creed’ in our time is the clash of East and West, democracy and communism,” Young stated. “We decided that we were God’s chosen people and everybody else who decided anything without our permission was doing evil.” As a result, he said, “we have replaced the God of history with the God of our petty bourgeoise values.” God may now be speaking to us through other men in other lands with other cultures and 261-3040 Free Inspection St. Mary’s Sets Labor Day Affair The annual Labor Day Barbecue sponsored by the St. Mary’s parish home and school association and the Knights of Columbus of Rome, Ga., will be held at the Rome Civic Center Sept. 2 beginning at 10 a.m. The public is invited to attend.
