Richmond, vh.—(Anpi—A n
Episcopalian minister last week
accused white people of failing
to live up to their responslbil-
i ities in regard to their Negro
brothers.
He is Dr. Vincent C. Frank
former rector of St. Paul’s
Episcopal church here. He re¬
turned to his former church to
deliver a Lenten sermon. Among
other things, he said:
“We Christian white folks
have a direct responsibility to
the Negro, and we are not meet¬
ing it. ‘I am my brother’s keep¬
er’ is a fundamental Christian
Statement.”
Dr. Frank, however, confessed
he did not know “The ideal so¬
lution to the inter-racial prob¬
lem.”
