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."
