Friday, October 29, 1976 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 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. BERNARD I. KAUFMAN CYP Concept" which 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 standing up and being counted as Christians in our community. "One of the primary purposes of the CYP di- rectory is to strengthen the Christian community in which it is being pub- lished by pointing out some of the many busi- CARS TO BE DRIVEN TO ANY STATE M C 125985 I.C.C. nesses owned by Chris- tians — therefore offer- ing the entire community the opportunity to do business with Christian business people."
