Realistic Approach to Inter-Faith Understanding Being Adopted HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! By the REV. EVERETT ROSS CLINCHY, D. D. Director, The National Conference of Jews and Christians SIMPSON GRANITE WORKS ELTON SIMPSON, Mgr. 1352 LEONARD, N. W. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. PHONE 7.1739 The past year has developed an increase in tensions between t he various religious groups in America as a result both of heightened economic tensions in he United States and of con- flicting opinions us to political events or policies abroad. Never- heless, the year has brought also significant turn in inter-faith relations that is gratifying to ev- e ryone interested in the evolu- ion of more civilized human 'T- alons in America. Most encouraging has been the ncreasingly realistic approach to nter-faith understanding adopted y Christian and Jewish leaders. 1 ood will means more than the occasional fraternizing of the abbi, priest and minister; it is "ore significant than a good-will dlgrimage or an inter-faith in- titute; it far transcends the t t a .110SII IIASIIONAII GREETINGS KROGER STORES COMPLETE MODERN FOOD MARKETS GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. t I i i 1 i i I : HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

After 10 years of activity in this field, the National Conference of Jews and Christians is con- vinced that there is maturing, among the leaders of all faiths an intellectual grasp of the prob- lems involved in inter-group rela- tions. For example, never before in the history of Christianity have Church councils been as outspoken in word and deed against anti- Semitism as during recent months Moreover, the National Confer- ence of Jews and Christians has been successful in creating local community techniques for the moderation of tensions. Person- al contacts between the leaders of the various groups tend to make for a more rational and less emotional consideration of the problems involved. When the National Conference was first founded 10 years ago, there were some Jews and Chris- tians who now little or no point to its organization. This aloof attitude has been discarded by every thoughtful person who knows the disastrous effects of non-communication among Euro- pean Catholics, Jews and Prot- estants. Whereas the good will movement may at one time have been nurtured only on the broth- erly spirit of true religion, it now has taken cheep root in 'sea- son as well as emotion in that leaders realize that anti-Semit- ism, anti-Catholicism, or anti- any denomination, is simply a prelude to anti-religion in general. Churchmen are realizing that the battle for survival is not be- tween Catholics and Protestants, Christian and Jew, or Baptist and Methodist; the battle is between the forces of religion and the growing secularization, and in some cases paganism, of modern life. A community of religious forces is being developed on a confederation basis, that is: the religious forces work together on matters of general interest while individually maintaining their au- tonomy and distinct doctrines. Such a trend is noticeable in Christianity in the formation of_i the World Council of Churche4 and Jewry has indicated a similar interest in the subject in that there has been a move in this country for the strengthening of the Synagogue Council of Amer- ica, the Federation of the Re form, Conservative and Orthodox groups. With such sentiment prevailing, it is obviously necessary that it feeling of good will, a desire for better understanding and a real effort for co-operation should be the animating spirit of the day. The contribution within the next few years of the National Con- ference to the furtherance of this trend will be in the direction of supplying the raw materials of basic truths necessary for a bet- ter understanding of differences and the meeting ground upon , which prejudices can be resolved. Our efforts will be directed to- wards making America safe for mizing of what we hold in com- mon and the tasks we must work differences. But our differences must not be stressed • to the mini- Upon together.

A floppy and Prosperous Neu' Fear to All The tact that Democracy is be- ing challenged by the Authoritar- ian State (Nazism and Commu- nism) is more evident to the man on the street each (lay. As a re- sult, many men and women who have been ignorant of or indif- ferent to the fact that intoler- ance between groups exists have come to realize that this intoler- ance is the handmaid of totali- tarianism, and is the means used to sow the seed of hatred which is an essential forerunner of the establishment of a dictatorship. I believe that just as when a healthy body is attacked by a dis- ease there is set in motion within the body counter bodies to kill the disease germs, similarly in the body politic, the disease of in- tolerance creates counter forces working towards good will and better understanding. It is our duty to aid all in- dividuals and organizations work- ing for good will. PersonallY, believe the most effective of all are the churches and synagogues; that is, the forces of organized religion. HAM NEW YEAR TO ALL Rosh Ilashonah Greetings to All J. 0.
