Episcopal Excommunicated Clergyman Says
LYNCHBURG, Va. (ANP)—An
Episcopal clergyman said re
cently that Negroes are "ex¬
communicated and excluded”
from the church because of
segregationist practices.
The Rev. McRaw Worth, in
his by-lined article which ap¬
peared in The Witness, a na¬
tionally circulated religious
publication, charged that ra¬
cial segregation in churches of
the Episcopal Diocese of South¬
western Virginia deprives the
Negro of an opportunity to
practice his religion.
The clergyman also said that
Virginia’s progriam of massive
resistance to public school in¬
tegration was “learned from
the church.” In this regard he
made the obvious reference to
U. S. Sen. Harry F. Byrd of Vir¬
ginia, describing massive resist¬
ance as “symbolized by that
incredible figure, a hairy bird.
In his article, the clergyman
further stated that the state’s
policy of “separate and une¬
qual schools” is a “piker” com¬
pared to the church, which has
one called “separate and non¬
existent.”
