Lutheran Church
Urges Dialogue
With Judaism
NEW YORK (JTA) — The Na-
tional Lutheran, official organ of
the Lutheran Church of America,
devoted its November issue to
pleas for greater cooperation be-
tween Christians and Jews and de-
nunciations of anti-Semitism.
The issue was a follow-up to a
statement on the Lutheran Church
and the Jewish people, adopted
last spring at a conference in
Denmark, devoted to this problem
by the Lutheran World Federation.
In one of the leading articles
in the issue, entitled "Are Chris-
tians Responsible for Anti-Semi-
tism?" the Rev. Dr. Aarne Sii-
rala, professor of theology at
Waterloo Lutheran University,
W a t e r I o o, Ontario, Canada,
blamed Christians for anti-Semi-
tism, "although that is not the
whole answer."
Another article, by Dr. Klara
Schlink, of Darmstadt, Germany,
who is known as "Mother Basilea,"
revealed that, under the Nazi re-
gime, clandestine Bible study had
been organized in Germany, teach-
, ing the need for wiping out anti-
Semitism. Dr. Schlink was identi-
fied by the magazine as "fully de-
voted to Zionism on the basis of
Christian faith."
Another leading article, by the
Rev. Dr. Philip A. Johnson, public
relations director for the National
Lutheran Council, declares that
history, theology and charity "offer
a prelude to understanding" be-
tween Christians and Jews.
The concept of Jewish-Christian
dialogue is discussed in the maga-
zine by Rabbi Arthur Gilbert, of
the National Conference of Chris-
tians and Jews; and the Rev.
Thomas Basich, pastor of the Ad-
vent Church, St. Paul, Minn.
German Refuses
to Meet With U.S.
Jewish Leaders
WASHINGTON (JTA)— German
Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroe-
der has declined to meet with
presidents of major American Jew-
ish organizations to discuss the
termination of the statute of limita-
tions for trial of Nazi war criminals
and the' question of continued
activity by German scientists in
Egypt.
The German Embassy made
known contents of a telegram from
Dr. Schroeder to the Jewish lead-
ers. It stated that "the tight sched-
ule of my talks in Washington" did
not allow time to meet with a
Jewish delegation. Dr. Schroeder
said Jewish leaders should be as-
sured, however, that his Govern-
ment "is deeply aware of the prob-
lems you wanted to discuss with
me, and is examining all possibili-
ties to bring about a solution which
takes into account both the moral
as well as the legal aspects."
