Synagogue Council Reelects Rabbi Uri Miller, Praises Church Body and ASPCA (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) NEW YORK—Rabbi Uri Miller of Baltimore was reelected presi- dent of the Synagogue Council of America at the 38th annual meet- ing of the SCA, coordinating agen- cy of Conservative, Orthodox and Reform rabbinical and congrega- tional organizations. The SCA lauded the resolution of the National Council of Church- es, which con- 7 demned anti - Semitism. It also praised the ef- forts of t h e American Socie- ty for the Pre- vention of Cruel- ty to Animals "f or helping bring about a solution to the problem of pre- Miller paring and hoisting animals for ritual slaughter." The resolution called the work of the ASPCA in developing "Without royalty or profit to it- self" d e v i c es to eliminate shackling and hoisting "an un- I precedented contribution." Another resolution described the Lord's Prayer as "a uniquely Christian prayer" and warned Jews against reciting it. The reso- lution said that "requiring stu- dents in public schools to recite this prayer is an infringement on freedom of religion and con- science." In a related resolution, the orga- nization urged the defeat of the amendment offered by Rep. Frank Becker, New York Republican, to permit prayers and other religious observances in the public schools. Amendment of the Constitution for that purpose, the resolution asserted, "would open the way to religious tension, a misuse of pub- lic institutions and irreverence." The SCA renewed its "appeal to the conscience of mankind to help eliminate the religious, cul- tural and spiritual restrictions which Soviet Jewry now faces." The resolution pledged that "our concern for our brothers in the Soviet Union will not diminish, and our desire to build spiritual bridges with our coreligionists in Russia will remain paramount on our agenda." The SCA noted that some of its constituents had "expressed con- cern regarding policies of many community centers and Y's affil- iated with the National Jewish Welfare Board" which "indicated at times a lack of regard for the sensitivities of Jewish religious communities in the United States." The resoluton asked establish- ment of "an advisory agency to the Jewish center division" of the JWB on matters "affecting reli- gion in synagogue-center relation- ships." Proposing that membership on the advisory agency "be drawn largely from such representative synagogue bodies" as the SCA, the resolution said the purpose of such an advisory agency should be to develop "a statement of policy regarding religious practices in Jewish centers." The SCA also criticized the practice of some national Jew- ish communal agencies "which arrange unfitting business and communal meetings as well as luncheons and dinners on Fri- day evening and on the Sab- bath day." It called "inappropriate" the practice of calling such meetings "oneg shabbat" when "used as a cover" over what "is in effect a business meeting."
