A Nuestros
Benefactores y Amigos
La Conferencia de
Nuestra Senora de la
Caridad de San Vicente de
Paul desea comunicar a
todos sus benefactores y
amigos la labor realizada
desde Agosto 1964, hasta
Septiembre 1980,
cubriendo en total 194
meses con informacion
completa. Para aquellos
que no estan familiarizados
con nuestro trabajo
queremos decides que la
conferencia se organizo en
Agosto 28, 1964, para
ayudar en su fase inicial a
las familias relocalizadas
que llegaban a esta ciudad
carentes de recursos y que
en aquella epoca eran casi
todas cubanas.
Anteriormente, en
1962, un grupo de
americanos muy generosos,
conscientes del mensaje
etemo de Jesucristo de
amor al projimo, y
encabezados por Sr. y Sra.
Joseph Murphy, y Sr. y Sra.
John Oberg, se dieron a la
tarea de crear la Liga de*
Nuestra Senora de la
Caridad que estuvo
voperando hasta 1964, en
que la barrera del idioma
hizo necesario que se
organizara nuestra
conferencia a fin de que
hubiera una mejor
comunicacion y al propio
tiempo poder asistir al
Padre Rafael McDonald,,
O.F.M., de tan grata
recordacion entre nosotros,
como Director del
Departamento de
Relocalizacion de la
Archidiocesis de Atlanta.
Como cada parroquia,
tiene su propia conferencia
americana, desde un
principio se hizo evidente
que tendriamos que operar
en forma distinta y asi
comenzamos a trabajar con
contribuciones y
donaciones voluntarias
mensuales, allegadas peso a
peso, entre un grupo de
familias cuyo numero
mayor ha sido de 160 (en
1969/70) y que al final de
1974 eran 98 y
actualmente ascienden a
82. Para los que con su
ayuda mantienen esta
conferencia, nuestro
agradecimiento mas
profundo, pues con sus
contribuciones han hecho
posible que se resolvieran
innumerables problemas de
comida, vivienda,
medicinas, muebles, ropas,
utensilios de cocina, etc.
Aunque sabemos que se
ha hecho todo lo que
hemos podido, creemos
que mucho mas puede
haeerse. Las necesidades
aumentan dia a dia,
mientras el numero de
fieles benefactores sigue
siendo limitado. Es por ello
que, en cooperacion muy
estrecha con Sister Barbara
Harrington del Servicio
Social Catolico de la
Archidiocesis de Atlanta,
cuyo trabajo ha sido la
continuacion de la labor
que el Padre McDonald
comenzo, pensamos que
debiamos hacerun esfuerzo
especial este ano a fin de
aumentar el numero de
benefactores y de
voluntarias, pues ademas
de ayuda economica
necesitamos personas que
puedan dedicarse a otras
actividades dentro de la
conferencia.
Creemos oportuno
recalcar que la qyuda que
ofrecemos no es exclusiva
para las familias cubanas,
pues en realidad hemos y
estamos ayudando a
familias de cuatro
continentes:
LATINO-AMERICA:
familias de Cuba,
Colombia, Mexico, Peru,
Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia,
Nicaragua, Guatemala, etc.
EUROPA: familias de
Hungria y Espana
AFRICA: familias de
Uganda
ASIA: familias de
Vietnam del Sur y
Cambodia

AMIS: Atlanta’s Global Outreach
BY JOAN LUCAS
In metro Atlanta,
there are over 3,000
students of every race,
religion and some 100
countries who live in the
city for one to six years.
Reverend Fahed Abu
Akel is the executive
director of AMIS - the
Atlanta Ministry for
International Students -- a
non-profit, non-sectarian,
ecumenical outreach
sponsored by the First
Presbyterian Church of
Atlanta, Oglethorpe
Presbyterian Church,
Ebeneezer Baptist Church
and Saint James United
Methodist Church. AMIS
is concerned with the
welfare and spiritual
needs of students
attending institutions of
higher learning in metro
Atlanta.
Reverend Abu Akel,
one of the speakers at the
Archdiocesan Council of
Catholic Women’s
Leadership Training Day
held in June, spoke at the
Internationa Affairs
workshop about meeting
the needs of these
students and demonstrat
ing Christian hospitality
by developing personal
relationships with people
from foreign countries.
Colony’s
Finest
Y olanda Posada, a
member of Holy Family
Church in Marietta, was
recently named
“Employee of the Year”
by the Colony Square
Hotel in Atlanta.
Mrs., Posada, a
keypuncher and
computer operator in the
data processing
department, first came to
the United States from
her native Bogota,
Columbia in 1961. She
began working for Colony
Square when she and her
husband and their two
children relocated to
Atlanta in 1974.
According to
Reverend Abu Akel, this
is an effective way to have
these leaders of tomorrow
from every comer of the
globe learn first hand
about Americans.
He felt that
international students are
well cared for in areas
such as education,
campus life and media
exposure, but sensed a
lack of community
education and fellowship
for these students. AMIS
aims to provide friendship
and home hospitality to
visiting students as a
meaningful Christian
ministry. The
organization also assists
students in understanding
and appreciating the
United States, its heritage
and culture.
The AMIS motto is
“Walk together, talk
together, all you nations
in the world; only then
shall we have peace.”
At the ACCW
Leadership Training Day,
Reverend Abu Akel
challenged the women
present to consider the
AMIGO Host Family
Program and become
involved in this
international ministry.
In AMIS’ AMIGO Host
Family Program,
international students are
introduced to interested
Atlantans who can
befriend them during a
school term. Housing is
not involved.
A host family makes
contact with the student
and invites him to share a
meal, attend church
services or community
meetings, or perhaps join
the family for an
evening’s entertainment.
Many students are
Catholic and would enjoy
meeting others who share
their faith.
Additional programs
sponsored by AMIS
include an international
speakers bureau, social
and educational programs
for international
students, and Christmas
International House, in
which families host
students for a two-week
holiday period in their
homes.
This fall, the public is
invited to the AMIS
Welcome Reception
October 18 at 4 p.m. at
Colony Square, a time
when the newly arriving
students are welcomed to
Atlanta.
Those interested in
becoming more involved
with this international
outreach are encouraged
to call the AMIS office
(892-8461).

parishioner at Holy Family
Church in Marietta.)

the Year” award from Stewart A. Maurer, general
manager of the Colony Square Hotel.

Saint Series Planned
SPARKILL, N.Y. (NC) - Dominican Sister Jean David
Finley, in a largely one-woman effort, launched a special
magazine-like publication, “Catherine of Siena, Woman of
Faith,” issued for the sixth centenary of the death of St.
Catherine of Siena in 1980.
That publication is still selling - 9,000 copies have
already been distributed, including 1;500 sent to Ireland for
international dissemination. Now Sister Finley is putting
out another publication and planning a series of
magazine-type sequels.
The second publication will deal With Our Lady of
Guadalupe, to coincide with 450th anniversary
commemorations of the Guadalupe apparition.
To finance the Guadalupe venture, Sister Finley wants to
increase sales of the Catherine of Siena publication. In the
future, the Dominican sister plans to expand the series to
other saints whose centenaries are being observed and to
such religious matters as dogma, sacraments, Scripture,
encyclicals, social and moral questions and spiritual life.
Copies of the Catherine publication and more
information are available from Sister Jean David Finley,
Dominican Convent, Sparkill, N.Y. 10976.
Hastings Book Concludes Baptists, Catholics
Can No
er Ignore Each Other
What does a Southern Baptist say when asked to explain
his faith and his way of life to a Roman Catholic? Can this
kind of dialogue take place without the “spirit of
denunciation” that was so common in the past? People of
many denominations will find the answers to these
questions in a timely and informative book by prominent
Southern Baptist, C. Brownlow Hastings, associate director
of the Department of Interfaith Witness for the Baptist
Home Mission Board in Atlanta.
Introducing Southern Baptists: Their Faith and Their
Life offers an insider’s look at the largest non-Catholic
denomination in America, one that continues to grow in .
size and influence. The author has spent the last ten years
speaking and writing to all kinds of Baptist and Catholic
groups, working closely with Glenmary priests in North
Georgia and the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
A book Hastings calls his “final contribution” as he nears
retirement is the product of years of study and experience
and a sabbatical spent at the Ecumenical Institute in
Collegeville, Minnesota, where the author was the only
Southern Baptist scholar at the time.
Those who would like to find out more about the
“peculiar people called Baptists” will do well to read
Hastings’ book. Admitting that the diversity of Baptists
makes his task difficult, the author has chosen to write from
a general viewpoint about Southern Baptists in particular.
Just who are these people who propose to proclaim the

Gospel to every inhabitant of the world before the year
2000?
Hastings’ book is organized into three parts. The first
explains the experience of the individual in relation to his
Lord. The author explains the twofold authority of the
primacy of the Scriptures and the inner light of the Spirit, a
pattern he sees as “dynamic and functional rather than
static and abstract.” “Nowhere is the end result seen as true
or orthodox doctrines or beliefs, the true Church, a rule or
deposit of faith, or an infallible agent or agency.” Baptists
believe instead in “the competency of the soul,” Hastings
says, which means that each believer is endowed by God to
be competent in all matters of religion; “each believer is his
own priest in coming directly to God through Christ.”
The second part of the book looks at the fellowship of
believers and their way of life in the local church. Hastings
carefully explains the Baptist view of salvation, including
“the new birth” so often referred to in the media. He shows
that each Baptist is called upon to make a public
commitment to Jesus. Baptists do not “seek identity
through creeds, or ordained hierarchy, or apostolic
succession,” the author stresses, but rather recognize the
freedom and autonomy of the local congregation. Also in
this section of the book, Hastings explains in detail the
Baptist “ordinances” of baptism and the Lord’s supper,

rites they see as symbols, not as sacraments.
The book’s final section traces the origins of the
Southern Baptists, the “checkered” history of their relation
to other Christian groups, their attitude toward dissent, and
their emphasis on religious liberty. In the last chapter
Hastings discusses the contemporary challenge of a growing
social awareness.
As the author concludes, Southern Baptists and Roman
Catholics “can no longer ignore each other.” Introducing
Southern Baptists will help members of both
denominations approach each other with a deeper
understanding of what Baptists believe and how they live.

Life is published by Paulist Press, and is available through
