THE RESPONSE TO
MISS KAY MAGENHEI-
MER’S “Bom Again,” the
poem she wrote for President
Carter and which appeared in
last week’s BULLETIN, has
been quite fantastic.
According to the Carrollton
poet, the poem has been
published in booklet form
with a narrative on the
background of the work and
details on the actual
presentation to the President.
Proceeds from the sale of the
book will be divided between
Miss Magenheimer’s parish,
Our Lady of Perpetual Help,
and the Plains First Baptist
Church. Dr. J. Lincoln
DeVillier, Chairman of the
Department of Accounting
and Finance at West Georgia
College, is supervising the
distribution of profits. Miss
Magenheimer is available to
read her work at any local
church and may be contacted
at 1-832-7926 or by mail at
Route 10, Box 117,
Carrollton, GA 30117.

RELATIVELY
SPEAKING - An interesting
side-bar to last week’s “Bom
Again” poem is that when
our managing editor, John
Markwalter, called poet Kay
Magenheimer to discuss
printing her work, they
discovered that Miss
Magenheimer’s grandmother
had been a Markwalter before
her marriage. It’s nice to keep
things in the family!

Ministers’ Week Draws Large Crowds
Natural Family Planning Meet
The local Chapter of Natural Family Planning (NFP) brought
national author John Kippley from Cincinnati to speak at Holy
Spirit Center. Kippley is the author of “The Art of Natural
Family Planning,” which is being acclaimed and used by young
married couples throughout the nation, and is director of the
Couple to Couple League in Cincinnati.
Over 12 couples came to participate in the workshop, which
was led by Teacher Couple Tom and Mary Ellen VanderWoude.
The workshop brought needed and valuable information to
those participating. It is hoped that many of those present will
bring the message and the method to others.
The workshop was organized with the leadership of Mrs.
Ruth Maguire of Holy Spirit parish and Mrs. Carol Hamrick of
Immaculate Heart of Mary.
A new series of NFP will be starting in Atlanta on February
21. Information on the series may be obtained by calling
428-4366 or 981-8217.
Euthanasia Bill Killed
House Bill 51, called the “Natural Death Act,” was voted
“do not pass” in a subcommittee by a margin of 4 to 2. The bill
was the same one passed last year in California legalizing passive
euthanasia.
The bill could be recalled by a vote of the full committee,
however this is considered unlikely this year.
Despite sub-freezing
temperatures and strong
winds, events marking the
Candler School of Theology’s
42nd annual Ministers Week
drew capacity crowds to the
Emory University campus
Jan. 17-19.
Some 1,000 ministers
from throughout the
Southeast were challenged by
speakers at the conference to
take a new look at their roles
and a new look at the role of
the Christian Church in the
world community. The theme
of this year’s assembly was
“Changing Mission-Changing
World.”
Today’s moral problems
are extraordinarily complex
and a simple “do right” will
not be of much help to a
parishioner in need of
counseling, Indiana
industrialist J. Irwin Miller
said in the keynote address
Monday evening.
“An influential Christian
voice is needed everywhere
today,” said the former
president of the National
Council of Churches, “but
the Christian voice will not be
heard unless it is a voice of
wisdom and competence.”
Urging the ministers to be
willing to take risks in efforts
to change their congregations
and the nation itself, Miller
lamented the fact that few
preachers today see
themselves as the prophets of
their communities.
Third World theologians
Mortimer Arias, former
Bishop of Bolivian Methodists
who resigned the episcopacy
to devote himself to
rethinking the evangelistic
task of the Church, and Jose
Miquez-Bonino, a president
of the World Council of
Churches and a foremost
interpreter of Latin American
liberation theology, addressed
the ministers in sessions
Tuesday and Wednesday
mornings.
Arias told his audience
that Christianity needed a
new reading of the Bible,
“without the eyeglasses
inherited from past
generations.”
Calling for a new
evangelism, Arias emphasized
that true evangelism is
engagement. “You have to be
engaged in the liberation of
human beings to hear the
word of God.”
He cautioned the ministers
to remember that the task of
readjusting society to God’s
purpose goes on permanently.
“If you do not meet Christ in
your neighbor,” Arias
warned, “you will miss him,
no matter how much you
read the scripture or share in
the Eucharist.”
Miquez-Bonino asked his
audience to reexamine the
role of the Christian
missionary. “The concept of
the missionary bearing the
future to a backward people
no longer holds. Today a
missionary ministers to
people who are struggling for
liberation from the very
country he comes from.”
Saying that ministers must
act out their convictions, at
the possible risk of pulpits
and reputations, he suggested
that this is perhaps a time in
which God had given the
Church the opportunity to
set itself against unjust and
oppressive political, social
and economic structures.
Miquez-Bonino, who
received a master’s degree
from Emory in 1953, was
awarded the honorary degree
of Doctor of Divinity by
President Sanford S. Atwood
at ceremonies Tuesday
evening.
President Atwood praised
Miquez-Bonino for having
combined in an outstanding
way institutional leadership,
scholarly contributions and
ecumenical endeavors.
The gathering concluded
Wednesday evening at a
banquet where Bishop Ralph
E. Dodge, executive
coordinator of The Bishops’
Call for Peace and the
Self-Development of Peoples,
spoke on The Mission of the
Church in a Changing World.”
Asking the ministers to be
open to change, Dodge said,
“One of the greatest
temptations any minister has
is to soft-pedal the demands
of the Gospel in the area of
social justice which affects
the established fabric of
society.”
Questioning what it means
to be a Christian, he stated
that American Christians
cannot continue to rest in the
lap of extravagant luxury,
super-abundance and waste
while one-fourth of the
world’s population struggles
almost hopelessly for even a
bleak existence.
“Our mission in a changing
world,” Bishop Dodge
explained, is to eliminate
those barriers that shut
people into human-made
ghettos. The widening gap
between the rich and the
poor must be narrowed; the
privileges of the powerful
must be limited so that the
impoverished may live; those
who suffer from
super-abundance must share
with those who suffer from
malnutrition. The privileged
must move over to make
room for the underprivileg
ed.”

made of lectures and sermons
given during Ministers Week.
