Their first discussion in October was on the book, The Secular City by Harvey Cox. We hope to build up the at tendance at the Tuesday night prayer services. These services were changed from Wednesday night at 7 o’clock in Davage Auditorium, to Tuesday at 7 in Davage. The prayer services are carried on by the various or ganizations on the campus. Already one highlight of the Religious Life program on the campus “happened” on Friday, November 4. Father Malcolm Boyd, called by many “The Coffee House Priest,” spoke to our academic community. He did much to stimulate thought; he was enjoyed by all who heard him. The next guest speaker we will have is Dr. Joseph Wash ington, author of the controver sial best-seller, Black Religion. Dr. Washington visited Clark on Tuesday, November 29, 1966, at 11 o’clock a.m. in Davage Auditorium, and at 7 o’clock p.m. in Lower Kresge Lounge.

He feels that the church, which has at times been lax in its responsibility, must be come more involved with the world and provide the spiritual leadership the world needs. He asserts that the church and the clergy must make adjustments in order to adapt itself to the changing world. Father Boyd’s comments brought about widespread re actions among those in attend ance. The college minister, Rev. Johathan Jackson, said that Rev. Boyd produced a desirable “shock” effect upon the assem bly. This, he said, was good, because it makes people think.
