NEW YORK -Negroes are now
j invited to join formerly all-
white Episcopal parishes in
J Michigan, according to the
forthright policy of the Rt. Rev.
Richard S. M. Emrich, bishop of
the diocese of Michigan.
Bishop Emrich made his po¬
sition clear in a statement re¬
printed in the current issue of
the Episcopal Church news.
| “The Church is not the Church
of any one race, class or nation.
It is God’s family . . . all peo¬
ples arc to be welcotfted in every
parish and mission of the Dio-
j eese of Michigan.”
The Bishop’s policy is slowly
I ' breaking through years of in-
grained prejudice, the magazine
reports. While some churches
i still seem reluctant to reach
I out to colored members of their
physical parish, others, like
j Detroit’s Grace Church, not only
have a mixed congregation, but
a Negro curate with a white
rector.

Robert’s father said he had
his son to swim last
