Churches Seek
Religions Ban
- Sydney, Australia (JTA) —
Jewish and Christian
leaders here have expressed
outrage at a proposal by
Papua New Guinea's Coun-
cil of Christian Churches to
have the government ban all
non-Christian religions.
A Council of Churches
' spokesman told Jewish
sources in Australia that the
proposal was directed main-
ly at Muslims and secondari-
ly at Jehovah's Witnesses,
Mormons and Bahais.
I However, the spokesman
, said it would also apply to
Jews.
Papua New Guinea, an
island north of Australia
that gained independence in
1975, has a population of 4
million, of which 97 percent
are Christians.
Isi Leibler, chairman of
the Asia Pacific Jewish
1 Association and president of
the Executive Council of
Australian Jewry, said there
are only about 10 Jews
known to live in Papua New
Guinea.
But he stressed, "The
number is not the issue, the
principle is, and the action of
the Council of Churches is
outrageous."
The move by the influen-
tial Council of Churches
came at the group's annual
meeting last month in Port
Moresby.
Papua New Guinea's at-
,orney general, Philoemon
lmbel, is against enacting
i.ch a law and has express-
his support for the right
religious freedom in his
ntry.

might find they're in need." ❑
