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. , Man Saves , ^ , ( ill *1 id 1 From Drown’# CftlCAGO— IANPi— A man last week saved a seven- year-old white boy from possi- ble drowning in the rivcr - •Joe Lewis, 35, snatched Rob¬ ert Goidstein from the swolen river after the boy had been carried a quarter of a mile.
