CHILD SMALL FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1991 Memphis Churches Continued from preceding page There's no reason why not to do that now," he added. The program, coordinated by the Religious Roundtable, lists as co-sponsors 11 Chris- tian movements ranging from the mainstream to fun- damentalist. Churches rep- resented include Assemblies of God, Bible and Indepen- dent Faith Churches, Bap- tists, Catholics, Epis- copalians, Methodists, Lutherans, Nazarenes, Pentecostals and Presby- terians. The Religious Roundtable was created in 1978 to pro- vide "Bible- believing" Christians a non-political platform from which to ex- press their views, according to Mr. McAteer. While there is no recent membership count, he said the group has a top mailing list of about 150,000 people. The money raised, minus the estimated $50,000 to $70,000 operating expenses of the event, will be handed over to the Memphis Jewish Federation. That agency will turn 100 percent of the funds over to the United Jewish Ap- peal national office in New York City, according to Mr. Siepser. The dollars will be designated to fund four early September flights of Soviet Jews from their transit point in Budapest, Hungary, to Tel Aviv, Israel. UJA offi- cials estimate that one flight of 230 Soviet Jews costs ap- proximately $250,000. The federation executive and others stressed that the idea for "On Wings of Eagles" was brought to them by the Christian community and did not come at the sugges- tion of Memphis Jewish leaders. Dr. Alon Liel, consul gen- eral of Israel for the Southeast, also has actively supported the effort and plans to attend the rally. "When you see people lov- ing Israel, you don't ask too many questions. You get all the support and love that you can get," he said. "They love us and support us and express it. I don't think there's anything wrong with it." A retired executive from the Colgate-Palmolive com- pany, Mr. McAteer makes frequent visits to Israel. During those trips he has met with a number of top- ranking Israelis including Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and cabinet min- isters. This past spring, the 10th annual prayer breakfast meeting in Wash- ington, D.C., attracted 1,000 people including U.S. sena- tors and representatives and American Jewish commun- ity leaders. Mr. McAteer said he sup- ports Israel for three reasons, "the Bible, human- itarian and because I have a military background. Being . a U.S. citizen, I think Israel is the best ally the United States has." Noting that he continually has to explain his support for Israel to. skeptics, Mr. McAteer added, "There's no hidden agenda here. The purpose of this is for Bible- believing Christians to ex- press their unconditional love to God's ancient people, Israel. "I'm not trying to trick anybody in any way for anything," he said. "I'm try- ing to express my faith and love in my Jewish friends." ❑ 71 LOCAL NEWS r Ann Arbor JCC Children's Trips "Travel Express," a week of day trips for children ages eight and up, will be spon- sored by the Jewish Com- munity Center of Washtenaw County in Ann Arbor July 15-19.
