Religious Leaders Ask Ford, Carter to Reject Religious Bigotry
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Leaders of four major
faith groups called upon
President Ford and Dem-
ocratic Presidential can-
didate Jimmy Carter to
"repudiate appeals to re-
ligious bigotry" in the
current election cam-
paign, as evident in
"vote-Christian" drives
in a number of Con-
gressional districts by
right-wing extremists in
both Republican and
Democratic parties.
The four — Rev. Paul
Moore Jr., Bishop, the
Diocese of New York of
the Protestant Episcopal
Church; Father Joseph
O'Hare, editor-in-chief of
America, a Jesuite publi-
cation; Dr. Arnold L. Ol-
son, retiring president of
the Evangelical Free
Church of America; and
Rabbi Marc H. Tanen-
baum, national director,
Interreligious- Affairs .
Department, American
Jewish Committee —
joined at a news confer-
ence at the offices of the
AJCommittee and issued
a joint statement point-
ing out that religiou-s
bigotry had remained
"gratifyingly absent"
from the Presidential
race. They added that
such appeals had "be-
come alarmingly evident
in a number of Con-
gressional contests."
The statement con-
cluded with a call to both
Ford and Cartel= and to
national, state and local
committees of the Demo-
cratic and Republican
Parties, to reject force-
fully any campaign appe-
als based on the religion a
candidate may profess.
The religious leaders re-
ferred in their statement
to election drives, report-
edly in at least 30 Con-
gressional districts, to
elect "God-centered citi-
zens" who will work to
"rebuild" America as a
"Christian republic."
Among the details pro-
vided both in their state-
ment and in an accom-
panying appendix of case
histories were these:
• In the Republican
Senatorial primary in
Arizona, anti-Semitic
calls and threats were
levelled at Sam Steiger, a
Jewish candidate. while
his opponent, John B.
Conlan, was quoted as tel-
ling Evangelical audi-
ences: "A vote for Conlan
is a vote for Christianity.
We need to elect a Chris-
tian Congress."
• In a five-sided Demo-
cratic Congressional pri-
mary in the Fifth District
of Texas, candidates were
questioned in detail
about their religious be-
liefs, and -their replies
were publicly "rated" and
these ratings were distri-
buted to church mem-
bers.
• A "White People's
Committee to Restore
God's Law," at an outdoor
rally in Hot Springs, Ar-
kansas, on Sept. 5, 1976,
distributed literature
proclaiming "The Anti-
Christ Must Go" and
"Only Righteous Chris-
tian Men in Public Of-
fice."
Among the organiza-
tions listed in another ap-
pendix were: The Chris-
tian Freedom Foundation
of Washington, D.C.; Third
Century Publishers, Ar-
lington, Virginia; The
Christian Embassy, Wash-
ington, D.C.; The Campus
Crusade for Christ,
headed by Bill Bright,
businessMan; The Inter-
cessors of America, allied
with the Christian Free-
dom Foundation and Third
Century Publisher
through interlocking di-
rectorates.
At the meeting, the
AJCommittee also distri-
buted a copy of the front
page of the "Miami, Dade
Christian Yellow Pages,"
which identifies itself as
"A telephone directory of
born-again Christian
business and professional
persons — January, 1976
to January, 1977."
This is contained
within a large cross which
takes up the entire page.
The next page shows a list
of offices in Miami, San
Francisco, Dallas, and
Modesto, California and
is identified as Volume 1
— No. 1.
On the same page is a
statement titled "The
Moses David, an
American Jew, was the
person to make continu-
ous sheets of synthetic
mica.

announces, in part:
"Those whose adver-
tisements appear in the
CYP directory have de-
clared orally and in writ-
ing that this is their posi-
tion in Christ — and are

counted as Christians in

"One of the primary
purposes of the CYP di-
rectory is to strengthen

lished by pointing out
