Bishop Dislikes
4 Shangri-la 9 Pad
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (NC) — Bishop Mark Hurley,
who long had a reputation as a “no-frills” priest,
seems more determined than ever to move out of his
local residence now that a news paper has described it
as a “Shangri-la.”

Astronauts?
The mansion, with its
spacious grounds and pool,
was featured in the Oakland
Tribune’s Sunday supplement
home section in an eight-page
spread with color photo.
Bishop Hurley said he
thought he had made it clear
in his statements to the
Tribune that he was not
happy living in such
sumptuous surroundings.
But when the article
appeared, he said, a
“diminuendo and soft touch”
treatment covered up his true
feelings of discontentment
with the residence.
In a letter to the Tribune,
after the feature appeared,
the 51-year-old bishop said:
“My remarks to your staffers
were much more direct,
critical, even acerbic.
“I stated that the estate
was impossible for one
person; a serious problem to
me personally; and an
extravaganza for a bishop. I
further explained that the life
style of a bishop has changed
in the past few years; that I
wanted urgently to sell the
house and get out, without
any sense of making a
personal sacrifice or playing
the martyr.”
touch to my remarks has left
a bitter after-taste with many
Tribune readers, and I can
hardly blame them. Actually
the record is quite different.”
Bishop Hurley said he had
publicly announced his
intention to sell the residence
three years ago when he
inherited it from his
predecessor, Bishop Leo
Maher. But Bishop Hurley
said he has not been able to
find a buyer.
The bishop said he found
no fault with the way the
Tribune feature described his
residence. “What your
staffers so expertly wrote and
illustrated about the estate is
true and accurate and I thank
them for their expertise and
enthusiasm in my favor,” he
said.
He said he hoped that
someone who reads the
feature story will be
encouraged to buy the estate
and get it off his hands.
Some who read the story
had some adverse comments,
however. The pastor of a
Santa Cruz parish wrote in his
Sunday bulletin that he
couldn’t imagine “a prudent
bishop making a spectacle of
the wealth that can accrue to
his office.”
The opening of Christ the
King School was a joyful
reunion and a warm welcome
for new parents and teachers.
Parent Orientation Day,
Sept. 1, gave the parents the
opportunity to meet their
children’s teachers, visit the
classrooms, and find out
about the school.
On Thursday, September
2, the children arrived,
greeted by a staff of Grey
Pope United
In Prayer
With Anglican
CASTELGANDOLFO,
Italy (NC) — Pope Paul VI
said he was united in prayer
with “our dear brother in
Christ,” Anglican Archbishop
Michael Ramsey of
Canterbury, for the success of
Catholic-Anglican talks held
in England.
The Pope told a general
audience at his summer
residence here Sept. 1 that his
thoughts were turned “in a
special way to a
meeting . . .of the mixed
commission set up between
the Catholic Church and the
Anglican Communion.”
Nuns of the Sacred Heart and
lay teachers who had spent
the earlier part of the week
preparing bright, cheerful
classrooms and new, exciting
curricula. The Special
Pregram for the year will be
an emphasis on religion. Each
class has new textbooks
which have been updated and
revised to bring together the
most recent changes in the
Church. The new program
will attempt to give each
child a strong religious anchor
to steady him in this
ever-changing, fast-moving
world.
A truly innovative type of
modular scheduling
incorporated the latest ideas
in education. The school day
will be divided into 15
minute modules (“mods”)
designed to increase mobility.
This means that each
individual child will be able
to work at his own level in
each subject. This type of
program is currently
recognized as raising
achievement greatly. Briefly,
the modular scheduling
makes possible an education
tailored to each child’s
specific needs.
Full enrollment, with
waiting lists for each grade,
testifies to the fact that the
Grey Nuns have provided an
outstanding Christian
educational opportunity to
the community for almost 40
years. The staff includes 16
fulltime classroom teachers, 1
fulltime librarian, 1 fulltime
physical education teacher,
and part-time art and music
teachers - all state certified.
Christ the King School is
accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools.

Glenn Rowan, a Georgia
Tech student, is the first prize
winner in the Atlanta
Community Relations
Commission’s contest on
“How Can Black-White
Relations be Improved in
Atlanta?”, according to Nat
W elch, CRC Executive
Director.
Rowan will receive a $25
gift certificate from
Davison’s.
Rowan’s reaction was,
“This will come in handy
since I’m getting married next
week.”
The Tech student said in
his prize winning entry, “The
key to race relations is
understanding. By ‘rapping’
and gaining an appreciation
of the community’s
problems, the people of both
races can work together to
solve these problems. The
problems that face Atlanta
(rapid transit, the ghetto, air
and water pollution, etc.) are
the concern of both races and
if they work together, these
problems can be solved.”
The five second prize
winners are: Mrs. Ethel
Virginia Shaw, Kathy Clise,
E.L. Standford Jr., Wilton M.
Pitchford and Charles L.
Moore. Each will receive his
choice of recent books by
Mrs. Martin Luther King Jr.,
Ivan Allen Jr., Dr. B. E. Mays
and Chief Herbert Jenkins,
personally autographed. The
books are being donated by
Elson’s Book Stores.
“From physical
interdependence, man has
evolved the idea of tolerance.
But tolerance is not enough.
Beneath the color of our
complexions, there are
human hearts and God-given
souls which cry out for love,”
says Mrs. Ethel Virginia Shaw
of 981 Forrest Road, N.E.
E.L. Stanford Jr., 1468
Lucile Ave., S.W. wrote,
“What the white community
must understand is that
blacks want to be first class
citizens with all the
responsibilities .. .The fate of
black-white relations depends
upon adapting to change.”
“I believe the best way to
end racial discord would be
to send Lester Maddox and
George Wallace along with
Dick Gregory and
Muhammed Ali as astronauts
on the next Apollo Moon
Mission. After living and
working together under such
close conditions, perhaps
they would believe that living
and working alongside one
another on this earth isn’t so
bad after all. They could then
spread the word and we here
in Atlanta could live
peacefully ever after,” said
Wilton M. Pitchford, 1637
Line Circle, Decatur.
Kathy Clise, 6146 Kayron
Dr., N.E. said in her prize
winning entry, “Individuals in
various fields of social work,
medicine, urban planning,
human rights, and public
officials must get together
and corelate some common
goals surrounding a major
theme . . .that of
strengthening the idea of a
common struggle between the
black and white man. Two
separate societies in our
modern world will not exist
and prosper.”
“To improve black-white
relations, we must wipe out
the feeling of prejudice in the
minds of both black and
white. The most effective
way to bring blacks and
whites closer together with a
better understanding, is
integration. Atlanta is most
likely to succeed with
integration because it is so
ambitious, acquisitive and a
social climbing town-on-the
make,” wrote Charles L.
Moore, 288 Fairburn Rd.,
S.W.
The contest was judged by
a CRC committee composed
of Mrs. Harry A. Pfiffner,
Tom Ward, Chico Renfroe.
and Nat Welch.
Priest Raps
Judge About
Sterilizing
WASHINGTON (NC) - A
city judge here who suggested
sterilization for some mothers
of delinquent children has
come under fire from a
Catholic official.
Father James McHugh,
director of the family life
division at the U.S. Catholic
Conference (USCC), called
the suggestion “one more
indication of the possibility
of coercion that exists when
there is a general assumption
that birth control or
birth-control mechanisms will
solve social problems.”
Superior Court Judge
Edward A. Beard had said at
a hearing for a 12-year-old
boy charged with burglary
that “people who propagate
people like this ought to be
sterilized.”
Father McHugh said the
remark of Judge Beard “only
intensifies the problems of
the youngster because they
are an attack on the boy’s
parentage and on his whole
family upbringing.”
