Powell, S.J. One way to change crippling attitudes is
through “countering” — inventing and expressing to
yourself a new way of viewing something. Another
method, called “modeling,” is to imitate someone
whose attitudes and ways of thinking reflect a happy,
fully alive life.

Scene from INSIGHT’S “When Heroes
Military Sees Rise
In 6 C.O.’ Applications
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (NC) - There is a “visible upsurge
in applications for CO (conscientious objector) status by
naval and other U.S. military personnel” because of
nuclear warfare issues, said a Catholic draft and military
counseling agency after a seaman apprentice received an
honorable discharge from the Navy “for reasons of
conscientious objection.”
The sailor, John P. Wilson, received his discharge May 7
after more than a year of efforts that included two
applications, a refusal to obey orders and a federal court
decision.
The Cambridge-based Center on Conscience and War, a
counseling agency sponsored by Pax Christi USA, the U.S.
branch of the international Catholic peace organization,
cited several recent cases besides Wilson’s in which persons
in military service have declared themselves unable in
conscience to carry out their duties and have asked for a
discharge.
This spring two Catholic sailors at the Navy’s Nuclear
Training School in Orlando, Fla., went on unauthorized
leave and refused to wear their uniform, claiming they
were unable to reconcile contradictions between Catholic
teachings on nuclear warfare and what they were training
to do. Their applications for CO status are being processed
by the Navy, and in the meantime they have been
reassigned to different duties in accordance with Navy
policy in such cases.
The center said that application for discharge as a
conscientious objector has also been filed recently by
another sailor serving with Wilson.

IHM Players Stage Comeback

IHM PLAYERS get in shape for “You’re A
Good Man, Charlie Brown.” to be performed in
June.
Melkite Catholics
Celebrate Jubilee
St. John Chrysostom Melkite Catholic Church will
celebrate its 25th Anniversary May 29 and 30 with both
liturgical and social events.
Archbishop Joseph Tawil, head of the Melkite Catholic
Diocese in the United States, will celebrate the Silver
Jubilee Solemn Divine Liturgy Saturday, May 29 at 5 p.m.
Also at the liturgy will be Atlanta Archbishop Thomas
Donnellan and Melkite and Latin rite clergy.
A Silver Anniversary reception and dinner will follow at
the Knights of Columbus Hall on the Buford Highway.
After some brief remarks by Archbishops Tawil and
Donnellan and Archimandrite William Haddad, St. John’s
first and only pastor for the past 27 years, there will be a
program of Lebanese music by the Middle Eastern
Ensemble of Miami and some traditional Lebanese
dancing.
The weekend celebration will continue Sunday, May 30
with a Lebanese festival of food and music on the grounds
of St. John’s at 1428 Ponce de Leon Avenue, formerly the
mansion of Coca-Cola magnate Asa G. Candler. Tours will
be given of the neo-Grecian structure, built in 1916 for
$210,000.
The silver jubilee religious and social festivities are open
to the general public. For further information call the
church at 373-9522.
Well, they’re acting up again - for IHM’s benefit. On
June 4, 1982, the IHM Players are opening with the
original Broadway musical production of “You’re a Good
Man, Charlie Brown.” It will play for two consecutive
weekends, June 4-5, and June 11-12, at 8 p.m. Cast
includes Andy Clement as Charlie Brown, Diane Bogino as
Lucy, John Bogino as Snoopy, Phil Cummings as Linus,
Paul Boehlert as Schroeder, and Dinah Stonis as
Peppermint Patty, with Director, Pat Barratt, and Music
Director, Wayne Flory.
The highlight of the presentation will be a gala opening
night benefit on June 4 at 8 p.m. with the proceeds going
to provide long overdue fans for the IHM school
cafetorium. Special features of the Opening Night Benefit
include complimentary champagne and fruit/cheese
appetizers served out of an elegant ice sculpture basket.
Also on display will be another ice sculpture fashioned in
honor of this production, in the shape of Snoopy on top
of his dog house!
The IHM players started as a group of creative
parishioners with talents and experience ranging from
none at all to high school/college acting parts to
singing/dancing ability. This motley crew first got their
heads together in April 1969, bursting with enthusiasm
and a healthy dose of exhibitionism; their first production
was the musical comedy “Hey, Look Us Over” under the
direction of Jackie Kelly and the late Frank Kelly. A

Center, this first production did more than help
exceptional children; it firmly planted the “theatre bug”
in each of the original IHM players. Within the next five
years, they put on a total of six performances! Then, in
1976, two more performances were produced.
The first production of the IHM Players was planned as
part of the Ten Year Anniversary celebration of the parish.
It was a young parish then, and the parish school was just
being enlarged with the library, new classrooms, and gym.
Msgr. Michael Regan was pastor. From the old programs,
names pop out as if forming a parade of the many
dynamic and involved parishioners of a decade ago, some
still here, others not. Since then, the IHM Players has
suffered the usual growing pains of any volunteer group-
some energies have left the parish, family responsibilities
called . . . perhaps the very prolific nature of the players
planted seeds for burnout in others.
Whatever, the creative-chemistry was altered, and the
IHM Players have been idle from 1977 until just about
three months ago. Then, Pat Barratt lit the fire and started
the pot boiling again. Now, just in time for the beginning
of the 25th Year Anniversary celebration of the parish.
Showtimes are 8 p.m., June 4, Gala Opening Night
Benefit, $10/person; 8 p.m., June 5, 11, & 12, $2/adult;
$l/children under 12. Tickets will be sold after Masses at
IHM Church, 2855 Briarcliff Rd., N.E., Atlanta and
through advance ticket sales by calling: 634-0453 or
633-1529.

Sculptor's Work
Adorns St. Pat's
Bill Thompson prayed
about it first. He asked his
patron, St. Joseph, the
carpenter, to guide his
decision. In the past 25
years, St. Joseph has
granted Bill Thompson
many favors and has been
an inspiration and source
of spiritual strength.
Bill Thompson said
“yes” to St. Patrick’s,
Norcross, and its building
committee. He would
sculpt a nine-foot figure of
the Risen Christ in time
for Easter 1982.
The 190-pound
polyester/ fiberglass
sculpture of the Risen
Christ was erected 30-feet
high on a wall behind St.
Patrick’s altar in time for
the Easter vigil Mass on
Easter Saturday. It took
eight men with ropes,
balanced on scaffolding, to
remove a statue of the
crucified Jesus and replace
it with the new statue,
which was displayed
through the Easter season.
The southeast’s
foremost sculptor, who
produced the statue of
Senator Richard Russell
that stands on the Capitol
lawn in Atlanta,
Thompson worked from
July to September 1981
modeling in clay the Risen
Christ.
“I had lots of thoughts
while I worked,”
Thompson said. “I wanted
it to be triumphant, to
show the strength and
manhood of Jesus who
accepted the assignment
for the Father (to be
crucified, die and rise
again), almost like the
movie Rocky, in which he
says, ‘1 did it!’ (The
sculpture shows) Jesus as
living, going out into the
world today - vital, alive.”
Thompson, a native of
Denver, Colorado was
educated at the Rhode
Island School of Design
and Cranbrook Academy
of the Arts in Detroit. He
married the former Claire
McCabe of Rhode Island
and they have six children,
ages 17-26, one of whom
is a student at the
University of Dublin,
Ireland.
In Athens, where
Thompson lives and is a
member of St. Joseph’s
Catholic Church, he is a
Eucharistic Minister, and a
member of the parish
liturgy and building
committees. He says the
latter committee is
modeling its plans after St.
Patrick’s in Norcross.
A professor for 17 years
at the University of
Georgia, he is chairman of
the art department’s
sculpture area. He was
recently awarded the Chris
Janer Award for creative
research based on his work
for St. Patrick’s as well as
for St. John of the Cross
in Western Springs,
Illinois, and Holy Family
Catholic Chu rch in
Marietta.
Another honor given
Thompson is the Moses
Michael Award for
research His sketches and
final sculpture on his
chosen subject - angels -
will then be exhibited at
the university in Athens.
Assignments that have
brought attention to the
talented artist include the
John F. Kennedy statue in
front of the Student
Union at the University of
Dayton. Ohio, the
Andersonville Memorial
for veterans of all conflicts
at the National Park in
south Georgia, a 38-foot
limestone relief on the
front wall of St. Andrews
First Congregational
Church in Columbus, Ohio
and a statue of St. Mary in
Bristol, Rhode Island.
