Atlanta Methodist Minister Asks
Voters To Pray Before Voting
ATLANTA — The Rev. Dr. Dow
Kirkpatrick, Methodist minister of St. Mark
Church here, Sunday said a
Christian should “vote without big¬
otry,” but said “a frotestant voter
must take into account the fact, and
its implications, that a candidate is a
member ot the Roman Catholic
Church.”
the Denouncing those persons who say
religious question should not be
considered at all, St. Mark's minister
said that a man s family background,
educational experience, and military
record are taken into account, and it is
mandatory that one’s religion be ex¬
amined. ne explained that “religion”
means “one’s personal relationship
wicn God" while “church-state” has to
do with church and state as human
made organizations. The Rev. Dr.
JxiiKpatncK. said that a public servant
can be religious and still have separa¬
tion of church and state.
tion He repeatedly urged the congrega¬
present to vote without bigotry.
He denned bigotry as “excessive fervor
and. a destructive attitude toward an¬
other person with elevation of self
above Cod.'' The Georgia minister said,
however, that one can consider a Cath¬
olic candidate and the matter of church
and state without this bigotry.
He further declared that the reli¬
gious question is a special one because
of the nature of the Catholic Church
and not because of religious bigotry.
He said that the Roman. Catholic
Church demands a special discipline of
its members that no other church de¬
mands.
The Rev. Dr. Kirkpatrick pointed
out that where Catholics are in the
majority, the church has controlled the
state and the picture has been what
he called, “sordid.” He said that where
Catholics have been iu the minority,
the “authoritarianism” of the Roman
Catholic Church has been more flexible.
8 peaking directly about Senator Ken¬
nedy and the election, the minister
said “We must not, as Christians,
doubt Mr. Kennedy’s integrity when
he says that he will resign his office
rather than have the Roman Catholic
Church intervene in American govern¬
ment.” Mentioning that Mr. Kennedy
has said that he disagrees at points
with iris church, the Rev. Dr. though, Kirk¬
patrick said “One must realize,
that Mr. Kennedy is violating the
basic foundations and beliefs of his
church by his disagreements.”
Closing the service with altar said pray¬
ers, the 43-year-oid pastor that
no man should make a decision with¬
out first praying about it. In con¬
clusion he said, “We must, as Protest¬
ants, vote according to our conscience
after examining the campaign issues
and the candidates’ platforms against
the background of the Christian com¬
munity on the basis of scripture.”
