PAGE 2—The Georgia Bulletin, November 6,1980 \ The Mulvihill Band Hibernians Await Mulvihill Band Sing, dance and enjoy Ireland’s rousing, mellow and rebel music during a special evening of Irish music and dance November 14 at 8:30 p.m., presented by the Hibernian Benevolent Society of Atlanta. One of New York’s finest Irish musical groups, the Tommy Mulvihill Band, makes an Atlanta appearance, the band’s first visit here, for the festive evening held in the gym at the Cathedral of Christ the King, Peachtree and East Wesley. The night also includes entertainment during a band break by costumed children who will demonstrate Irish step dancing. Irish goods, records and memorabilia will be displayed and for sale, and Hibernian lassies wearing authentic old Irish costumes will act as hostesses. Each member of the Mulvihill band, Tommy Mulvihill, Johnny Murphy and Seamus Greene, is a seasoned performer. They have been entertaining together for more than a year in the New York area and welcome the opportunity to bring their unique sound to the south for the first time. Mulvihill not only sings but plays guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin and bass SR. THERESA KANE guitar. Songs such as the Tipperary tune “Slievenamon” play up the vocal talents of Johnny Murphy, who also contributes with the playing of the piano accordian. Greene handles both drums and percussion. Music from the trio’s latest album, released in April, will be performed, including the album title song, “Keep the Tradition Alive.” This is a Mulvihill original, which he calls “our own statement.” Mulvihill’s spirited show, laced with humorous repartee, covers a variety of Irish music, including one song he first released in Ireland. Called “Ha ‘penny Bridge,” it was written for Mulvihill by one of his Irish friends. To share in the night of Irish fun call Matt Naughton at 378-3627 or 938-4968. Tickets are $10. If available, they may be purchased at the door. The Mulvihill Band will perform throughout the evening. A dance floor will be centered before the stage and surrounding seats will provide a good view of the stage. Ice, water and set-ups will be available for those wishing to bring their own beverage refreshments. Acknowledge Laity And Poor MILWAUKEE (NC) - Treasurers and fiscal directors of religious communities, as true Christian stewards, will have challenges to face in the next decade, according to Sister Theresa Kane, a d ministrator general of the Sisters of Mercy of the Union. The challenges center on acknowledgements of the gifts of the laity in areas of finance and on awareness of how fiscal policies affect the plight of the poor. Sister Kane drew both favorable and negative comment in October 1979 when, as president of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, she spoke to Pope John Paul II in a televised prayer service when he was visiting the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. She asked the pope to listen and respond to the pleas of women to serve as fully participating members in all ministries of the church. Sister Kane was in Milwaukee as keynote speaker at the annual meeting of the Conference of Religious Treasurers. Stewards of congregations’ finances must meet these challenges with a critical approach, a sense of compassion for the suffering of others and a sense of confidence, she told the 500 financial directors in attendance. “Vatican II called on us to be a church of the people of God community,” with emphasis on reconcili ation, respect for all persons and recognition of the diversity of gifts, Sister Kane said. Religious should not be fearful of positions given to the laity. They should not make the mistake of thinking laymen do not possess the same commitment or deny laymen their mission in the church, she said. Sister Kane also called for a responsible divestment of assets. Christians are being called to review unnecessary possessions, she said, in order that others can have a greater share of earthly resources. The challenge, she said, will be to recommend creative alternatives that will assure that assets MAZDA is a winner... Take a look today. The more you look —the more you like!

Through it, she said economic, political and religious systems are studied to see how they either advance or hinder the right of each person to the pursuit of life, liberty and sanctity. She called for global consciousness with an awareness of the social dimensions of fiscal stewardship. “Everything we do must include a concern for others,” she said. At one time it was expected that the finance person would take charge of the money and others would do the social concerns work, she said. ‘‘Your challenge is to reverse that belief with a global perspective on issues, systems and structures,” she stated.

O’Neill of Rockford, Ill., told Lutherans and Catholics gathered for the first in a series of “reconciliation festivals” to continue in November. In his welcoming address, the bishop asked more than 700 laymen and clergymen in St. Peter Cathedral in Rockford to “level the hills and make straight the winding paths” in the ecumenical effort. Meanwhile, in Orlando, Fla., Lutherans and Catholics meeting at a statewide Lutheran convocation expressed optimism that the Roman Catholic-Luthe- ran dialogue in their state has been strengthened, deepened and made more alive. At the meeting in Rockford, the Rev. A.R. Kretzmann, pastor of St. Luke Lutheran Church in Chicago, discussed Lutheran development and placed the Augsburg Confession, the 16th-century statement setting forth Lutheran beliefs, in a historical perspective. He noted that Martin Luther’s treatise was written when the Turks were threatening Europe. “The emperor was so desperate ... he even agreed to sit and listen to theologians,” Mr. Kretzmarin said. The confession was discussed by secular as well as religious leaders of the day. Mr. Kretzmann said that “freedom came not from the Reformation but from a modem world” when people fled religious persecution to come to a new land. “The church cannot be strong, healthy and clean without a constant protest; but it cannot be these things on protest alone,” he added. The Lutheran minister also described the distribution of the Scriptures around the globe. “With millions all over the world we can say, ‘We believe in God the Father Almighty.’ The impact of those words is shared by all Christians,” he said. In the Florida discussions, Father Harold B. Bumpus, chairman of the St. Petersburg diocesan ”*4 W MEMBERS OF THE LIVING WORD Lutheran Church in Jonesboro and Saint Philip Benizi Parish, Jonesboro, shared a bus to attend the Lutheran- Catholic Reformation/Recon ciliation Service, October 26. These churches have cooperated in various ways, including an annual joint Thanksgiving Day Service. To the right is Father John C. Kieran, Pastor of Saint Philip’s, and Reverend Steven Lorimer, Pastor of Living Word. ARCHBISHOP THOMAS A. DONNELLAN and Bishop Gerald S. Troutman of the Southeastern Synod, Lutheran Church in America, recently joined in celebrating Reformation - Reconciliation Sunday. Ecumenical Commission, called Mary and the two churches’ approaches to grace as the block that must be surmounted for Lutheran and Catholic approaches to such questions to converge. The Lutheran view on these matters “is still an insight to instrumentality and grace, how God works,” the priest said. The essential difference between the theologies is “what grace does to the creature and what the creature does with grace,” he said. “The opposed error in Catholicism, folk religion, is that Mary is sometimes seen as an independent agent, a person possessing a certain divinity in herself,” he said. “But the ground we are concerned with is rational and theological, not emotional, even though most reasoning is focused by and through the emotions. That ground is the doctrine of grace.” Because Mary is the exemplar of God’s grace, this makes her objectionable to most Lutherans, Father Bumpus said. “We may find the two approaches coming closer” as Lutherans and Catholics deal with Mariology in the context of grace. Their dialogue is seeking a convergence of the theologies of grace, he said. Jill Raitt, a member of the U.S. Catholic bishops’ Commission for Interreligious and Ecumenical Affairs and president-elect of the American Academy of Religion, was optimistic about Lutheran-Roman Catholic dialogue. Her reasons included 20th-century biblical scholarship, historical understanding, theological development and ecumenism following Vatican II. “Today we are more conscious of God and of each other and willing to enter into the mystery to solve it,” she said of the discussions of grace and other beliefs of the two churches. Bishop Thomas J. Grady of Orlando expressed the hope that “we will all be united in the next 450 years.” The Rev. David Wolber, an American Lutheran Church dean (akin to a non-residential bishop), summed up the Florida Lutheran-Cath olic meeting. “With new exposure to the wider expression of oneness of Christian brothers and sisters, the Roman Catholic and Lutheran dialogue in Florida has been strengthened, deepened and made more alive,” he said. Also in Florida, the annual Reformation Service of the Dade County Lutheran churches featured, for the first time, an address by a Catholic priest - Msgr. Bryan 0. Walsh, Miami archdiocesan director of Catholic Charities. In his remarks, Msgr. Walsh reminded his listeners not to forget the people when working together. “Reconciliation is something that begins and ends in the hearts and minds of men and women, old and young,” he said. “This is a danger, if we concentrate our attention too much on institutional progress, important as it is, and ignore the people in the pews and the pastors in the front line of our pulpits.” Shroud Claimed Authentic BY NC NEWS SERVICE A Redemptorist priest who is president of the Holy Shroud Guild in the United States and several members of a U.S. scientific team investigating the image on the Shroud of Turin have rejected the recent claim that the image was painted on the cloth. The shroud, which some Christians believe is the burial sheet of Jesus Christ, is a folded piece of faded linen, about 14 feet by 4 feet, kept in a silver box in the cathedral in Turin, Italy. In a photographic negative its markings appear as the image of a crucified man. John Jackson, a physicist at Colorado State University who is a co-founder of the Shroud of Turin Research Project, took issue with the claim made in September in London by Walter McCrone, a Chicago expert in microscopic chemical analysis and a former member of the research project. McCrone said he had found evidence of iron oxide on the hairlike strands, or microfibrils, of the shroud’s linen fibers. The presence of the iron oxide, McCrone said, indicated that an iron-rich earth pigment like red ochre was used to paint the image. Jackson said a painter would have had to have almost superhuman skill to produce the shroud’s three-dimensionality, the variations in brightness of the image which precisely reflect varying distances between parts of the body that arise when a cloth is laid over a human form. With Eric Jumper, an Air Force Academy aerodynamicist, Jackson discovered the three-dimensional relief four years ago with sophisticated image-analyzing equipment. Jackson said that up close to the shroud a person can see only amorphous stains and Shop FINE F00DS&BEVERAGES FOR GIFTS THEY WILL REMEMBER! COFFEES. TEAS. WINES. CHEESES, CHOCOLATES. PATES.

Cheshire Bridge at Lavista 321 3012 Sandy Springs Circle at Johnson Ferry 256 OEll i can’t tell to what part of the body the stains correspond. He said the iron particles could have come from the decomposition and abrading of blood stains. Hemogobin, a protein in human blood cells, contains iron. Redemptorist Father Adam Otterbein, assistant pastor at Mother of Perpetual Help Parish in Ephrata, Pa., and president of the Holy Shroud Guild in the United States, said none of the other U.S. scientists involved in the shroud research project concurs with McCrone’s conclusions. Questions McCrone cannot answer, the priest said, are “If it were painted, where are the brush strokes?” and “How can the negative photographic image the shroud provides be explained?” Father Otterbein said scientists abandoned the theory that the shroud was painted as early as 1902. All that McCrone said is that he was convinced the shroud was a fake, but could not prove it, Father Otterbein noted. “Our response is that until he can prove it, he shouldn’t claim the shroud is a fraud.” Samuel Pellicori, an optical physicist at the Santa Barbara Research Institute in Goleta, Calif., who has been analyzing hundreds of microscopically magnified photographs he took of the shroud in 1978, said the image is so delicate that it had to be the result of natural chemical changes caused by a crucified body’s secretions and burial oils. Alan Adler, a professor of chemistry at Western Connecticut State College, another member of the research project, said he and John Heller of the New England Research Institute in Ridgefield, Conn., have completed a series of microchemical tests on shroud fibrils and have found no evidence of dyes, stains or pigments.
