L’Chaim Workmen’s Circle
The Atlanta Interreligious Task
Force on Soviet Jewry and Human
Rights in cooperation with the
Metropolitan Atlanta Christian
Council recently called upon all
Metro Atlanta churches and
synagogues to utilize their message
boards on behalf of their co
religionists in the Soviet Union.
Prior to passing the resolution,
the group was addressed by David
Geller, National Director of
European and Latin American
Affairs for the American Jewish
Committee. Citing the imprison
ment and exile of Baptists, Georgi
Vins and his son, Pyotr, and of
Pyotr Pyatkus, a Catholic, Geller
said, "The plight of Soviet Jews is
not just a Jewish problem. It is a
problem for all people who believe
in the dignity of mankind and that
we were created in the image of
God.”
The Task Force and Council are
urging short, creative messages to
be displayed prominently in front
of churches and synagogues. It
urges rabbis and pastors to give
sermons on the subject.

based in part on the questionnaire
and aspects of the responses. In

with the help of Southeast
Regional Director, William A.

over the results of the survey to
design the Colloquium which will
include leaders and professionals
from throughout Florida and the

the issuance of a report on the
findings of the National
Colloquium. It will assess the state
