Rel. Join Stockholders’ Action
Against Apartheid, Nuclear Power
NEW YORK (NC) -
Through shareholder
resolutions Catholic
religious orders and
Protestant churches and
organizations in the
United States and Canada
are targetting both nuclear
energy and apartheid.
Their goal is to
convince corporations to
fight apartheid - South
Africa’s system of strict
racial segregation - and to
reconsider development of
nuclear power.
More than 50 churches
and Catholic orders,
working with the National
Council of Churches’
affiliate, Interfaith Center
on Corporate Responsib
ility, will collectively
introduce a total of 26
stockholder resolutions
dealing with apartheid and
eight related to nuclear
energy. Together, the
religious groups hold
roughly $29 million in
stock.
One set of resolutions
asks banks dealing with
South Africa to not lend
money to the South
African government until
racist laws are revoked and
steps taken toward
majority (black) rule.
Another calls on firms to
stop promoting the South
African Krugerrand - . a
gold coin bought by
investors - until apartheid
is ended. Still another asks
companies to cease
operations in South Africa
until the government
moves to abolish
apartheid.
Nuclear power
resolutions ask utilities to
stop developing, planning
and constructing nuclear
power plants and to
develop energy
conservation and
renewable energy
programs. Another
requests a uranium mining
company to report the
implications of a uranium
mill tailings spill.
The resolutions on
behalf of the church
groups which hold stock in
corporations and banks are
addressed to such
companies as Ford,
General Motors, Citicorp,
IBM, Mobil, General
Electric and Westinghouse.
The resolutions are to
be introduced during
stockholder meetings,
usually held in spring.
Among the religious
orders involved in one or
more resolutions on either
South Africa or nuclear
energy are the Maryknoll
Fathers, Brothers and
Sisters; Christian Brothers;
Sisters of the Presentation;
Sisters of Social Service;
Sisters of Mercy; Sisters of
Notre Dame de Namur;

Father Emmanuel
Trainer was sitting across
the desk looking at
William B. Hartsfield.
The famous Atlanta
Mayor impressed the
Passionist priest from
New Jersey and he was
going to impress him
further. He was going to
help him in the
foundation of St. Paul of
the Cross Church.
“It was September
19 54,” remembers
Father Emmanuel “and I
was in Atlanta to get
things moving on our
new parish. Our
Provincial, Father Ernest
Welch, had purchased the
land. So I came to get
the project off the
ground.”
At the invitation of
Monsignor James Grady,
pastor of the Immaculate
Conception Church, the
visiting priest stayed at
the famous Hunter St.
(now Martin Luther King
Dr.) rectory.
“That’s a story unto
itself,” remembers
Father Emmanuel. “It
was an active parish but
it was also a precinct of
the Atlanta Police
Department. There were
cops all over the place all
the time. And sometimes
at night the assistant,
Father Don Kiernan,
took me along with him
as he rode in the patrol
cars. That I.C. was
something else. A really
great downtown parish.”
Monsignor Grady
decided that his visitor
needed to see the city’s
plans for the new black
suburb where the land
was located on the
expanding southwest side
of the city. So he trotted
Father Emmanuel down
to City Hall to meet his
friend of many years,
Mayor Hartsfield.
‘‘He was a
gentleman,” says Father
Trainer “and insisted on
calling in his engineer
and city planner to show
me how the area would
develop. They gave me
every detail.”
The Mayor and his
staff listed schedules for
the planned new streets
and for utility
installation. Hartsfield
told the priest about the
great perimeter road that
would one day pass by
the doors of the
proposed parish and the
expressway that would
cross under it on its
winding way to
Birmingham.
“Two Atlanta
brothers were putting the
plant together for us,”
says Father Emmanuel.
“They were Henry and
Larry deGive. Henry was
the architect and Larry
was the builder. The
Mayor insisted that they
call on the city for any
help they might need. He
was a fine southern
gentleman and so proud
of his great city.”
The Passionist Order
was interested in starting
a mission among the
black community in
Atlanta. The Fathers and
Brothers of the famous
Order had three parishes
in North Carolina. With
the encouragement of
Archbishop O’Hara, then
Bishop of Savannah, and
with funds donated to
their mission and
seminary fund, the
Atlanta parish was
started.
“I remember going to
Savannah in the fall of
1954,” says Father
Emmanuel “to inform
Bishop Hyland (the
Auxiliary to the
Archbishop) that all was
prepared for the new
venture. He asked me
what I would now do. So
I told him I was going
back to New Jersey to
continue my work with
our magazine, SIGN.
‘Then who will be the
first pastor?’ he asked. I
told him I did not know.
‘I have news for you,’
said Bishop Hyland,
‘you’re it. Congratulat
ions.’ So that’s how I got
the news. It was then and
there in Savannah. I was
delighted.”
Father Emmanuel
Trainer remained at this
new assignment for four
and a half years. He was
at St. Paul of the Cross
when the new Diocese
was founded in 1956. He
remembers some great
helpers of those early
days. Dr. and Mrs.
Richard Hackney and
their family and the well
known Yancy family - all
of whom, along with
many others, brought this
new parish family into
existence.
In 1958, Father
Emmanuel Trainer saw
the first buildings, the
school and convent, of
St. Paul of the Cross
open. The beautiful
church and rectory
would follow some years
later. By then this
founding pastor would
have returned to the
Passionist Monastery in
Dunkirk, New York but
only for a short stay.
Soon he was back on his
mission work, this time
in the Philippine Islands.
“But I remember my
years most fondly in
Georgia and the new
Diocese of Atlanta. Give
my best to Father Don
Kiernan,” says Father
Emmanuel. “I wonder
does he still have a red
sports car. That I.C.
parish was really terrific.
You should write a story
on that for your series.”
Maybe so, Father.
Maybe so.
Christian Council
Plans March 7 Breakfast
The 11th Annual
Community Breakfast
sponsored by the Christian
Council of Metropolitan
Atlanta will be held
Saturday morning, March
7, at the Peachtree Plaza
Hotel.
A large committee of
church leadership,
co-chaired by Bishop
Joseph C. Coles Jr. of the
African Methodist
Episcopal Church’s 6th
District and the Reverend
Jim Bevis, pastor of Brook
Valley Church of Christ, is
planning the event, known
in the city as the largest
and most representative
community gathering to
be held each year. The
committee expects some
1400 or more to attend
this breakfast.
Two nationally known
speakers will engage in a
dialogue on the theme
“Reconciliation.” They
are Rabbi Marc H.
Tanenbaum of New York,
N.Y., director of
Interreligious Affairs for
the American Jewish
Committee and the Rev.
Andrew J. Young, former
Ambassador to the United
Nations and former
Congressman for the 6th
District. He is now
president of Young Ideas,
Inc.
In addition, three
outstanding Atlantans will
be honored during the
Awards Presentations.
They are:
* Mrs Frances Pauley,
Atlanta’s best known
advocate on behalf of poor
people. Mrs. Pauley now
lobbies for the Georgia
Poverty Rights
Organization. She
formerly was active in the
Civil Rights Office of the
Department of Health,
Education and Welfare,
was director of the
Georgia Council on
Human Relations during
the 1960s and was very
active in the League of
Women Voters in Georgia.
*Mr. William Bolling,
Director of Street Ministry
Program at St. Luke’s
Episcopal Church, who
organized and directs the
Atlanta Community Food
Bank. Bolling is also
responsible for the
Community Kitchen at St.
Luke’s, which feeds some
500 poor people each day.
*Mrs. Alice Browner,
who handles the Housing
Hotline for Economic
Opportunity Atlanta, and
who, during the past year,
also organized Help House
at 830 Boulevard Drive, an
emergency shelter for
those who need it.
These awards are in
recognition of meritorious
personal ministry and are
presented in honor of two
longtime Christian Council
members, Charles M. Watt
Jr. and Mrs. Fred
Patterson.
