Speaks on Church's

Problems

Ylvisaker Sees Society
As Challenge to, Church

BENNETT ON RELIGION:
Foresees Easing of Tensions

\

'he modern Christian Church
es many problems, one of
ich is the toleration of non-
formist behavior in a congre-
ion, Paul Ylvisaker of the Ford
indation said yesterday.
kddressing the 22nd Annual
chigan Pastors' Conference on
omments of an Outsider on the
urch and Public Morals," Ylvi-
:er also said that the Church
id take an example from mod-
i marriage and parental rela-
ris and not be "grasping."
nlvisaker exhorted pastors to
now well the area in which you
rk," noting that one of the
st common charges against the
urch is irrelevance.
Same Message
When the area is known, "the
ssage will be the same, but it
1 be better expressed" to those
eiving it, he said.
-iting the problems he thought
church would face in the fu-

men power,

irs of life left after her last
id has entered school," he
nted out. He noted wide-spread
satisfaction among educated

women with simply participating
in comrnunity activities.
Ylvisaker also pointed to the
problems of the young. "These are
the last four years before the war
baby boom hits the employment
market,' he said.
The ministry must work with
these young people he said. "The
old have brought attention to.
their problems by being able to
vote. The young can't."
New Communities
Ylvisaker noted the problem of
new communities without roots
which have a large turnover.
He also predicted a declining

On Civil Liberties
Patrick Malin, executive direc-
tor of the American Civil Liber-
ties Union, will speak on "Fron-

series sponsored by the journalism
department.

standard of living for the 1960's
and that it would be the job of
the ministry to help people ad-
just to these new circumstances.
The two last problems Ylvisaker
cited were: "After white suprem-
acy, what?" and "After intellect,
what?"
The church will have the duty
of helping people when they real-
ize that these outmoded concepts
are not enough to meet the prob-
lems of today, Ylvisaker said.
Intellect Not Enough
Te explained that the after in-
tellect portion will come when
people realize that intellect, such
as is found in the new Kennedy
appointees, is insufficient in it-
self to meet the problems of the
modern world.
Ylvisaker also cited his own
secular "ten commandments""for
conduct in public life. He includ-
ed the necessity for humility for
the successful as well as dignity
for the unsuccessful.
Another of his commandments
was: "Thou art thy brother's
keeper." "We cannot shed this re-
sponsibility," Ylvisaker said, "by
hiding behind dogmatic state-
ments."

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN

S:

fairs director, discussed "The
Challenge of the Church in a
Pluralistic Society" at the annual
Ecumenical dinner of the 22nd
Annual Michigan Pastors' Confer-
ence.
Ylvisaker, who remarked that
he does not consider himself "the
loom-of-doom kind of guy," be-
lieves that, beneath all the things
that are easy to criticize, society
is about as good a one as human
beings have been able to con-
struct.,
Flexible Society
Particularly in comparison with
the closed societies of China, Ja-
pan and the countries behind the
Iron Curtain, American democra-
cy is genuinely flexible, he noted.
"It responds to criticism ex-
tremely fast and gives us many
avenues of self-expression," Ylvi-
saker said,
ThesUnited States' main prob-'
lem, he maintained, is to under-
stand the rapid metamorphosis
through which it is moving. "We
are an educated people with many
rival bureaucracies," Ylvisaker
said, and it is in the area of these
conflicting agencies that the
Church's greatest challenge exists.
Society Limited
Of course the American society
has its limitations, too. "We are
in a position of stymie and veto.
We don't take the lead; we wait
to criticize. We have a weakening
impulse to act, to change. Every-
one is worried about his own
niche," he said.
Also, Ylvisaker criticized the
"excess of demands upon the in-
dividual." "Here," he said, "the
Church is as much to blame as
anyone else," in trying to "own"
the whole person,
Communication, our highest and
most necessary art, is 90 per cent
superfluous, Ylvisaker said.
Too Many Institutions
Paralleling the excess of de-
mands there is also an excess of
institutions. "We have created so
many that we are now withdraw-
ing from them," he said.
Our "modern form of anarchy"
is far ahead of its time and too
new to comprehend, Ylvisaker not-
ed.
"The Church's master problem,"
in the context of today's chang-
ing world, he said, "should be to
gain power through understand-
ing rather than increase in size."
The Church should beware of
"flowing with, rather than against
the forces." It must not migrate
from the city to the suburbs be-
cause it is fashionable, he said.
At the same time the Church
should not be content with sup-
plying only material benefits to
the poor. "It must restore dignity
to the slum districts," he said.

By DAVIb MARCUS

The election of John F. Ken-
nedy as President may aid in form-
ing a good relationship between
Catholics and Protestants the Rev.
John C. Bennett, dean of faculty
at the Union Theological Semin-
ary said yesterday.
Speaking before the 22nd An-
nual Michigan Pastors' Conference
on the "Christian Church in a
Religiously Pluralistic Society,"
Bennett said that the election de-
feated the idea that the United
States is a Protestant nation.
Advocates Politics
Saying that politics should be
"the deeper convictions," Ben-
nett described one of the missions
of the church as the obligation of
obtaining a consensus to do this.
"The differences between the
three religious communities are
less important than the common
areas, but tension will continue
on such issues as birth control
fnd divorce," Bennett said.
CiyApproves
Meter Parking
Near Hospital
The Ann Arbor City Council
last night approved the installa-
tion of two hour parking meters
in a two block area surrounding
St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.
A spokesman for the hospital
stated that patients, doctors, and
employees of the hospital faced a
serious parking problem. Although
a two hour meter system will not
solve the problem completely, it
will produce a more rapid turn-
over of parking spaces per day,
he said.
He added that University em-
ployees and students were con-
tributing to the problem by park-
ing in the hospital's private lots.
Prof. Lewis G. Vander Velde of
the history department, a direc-
tor of the Michigan Historical
Collection, was appointed to Ann
Arbor's Civil War Centennial Com-
mittee to work on the city's part
of national research and com-
memoration program declared by
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
on Jan. 7.
Another committee was formed
by the council to study Ann Ar-
bor's unemployment problems, and
to urge employment of local labor
on city projects. Prof. John W.
Reed of the law school will be on
the committee.
The council also held a discus-
sion of the city's student bicycle
problem, which was tabled till a

"Many disagreements cut across
religious lines and are less deep
because of it. The common areas
provide the basis for certain moral
norms which extend across all
these religious lines."
Three Questions
Bennett described three specific
questions which the Church faces
today.
First, how far should a religious
community use political power to
enact its own moral code into law?
Second, how far should a religion
participate . in partisan politics?
Third, what is the role.of those
who reject the traditional reli-
gious philosophies and are outside
the Church?
Exercise Restraint
"The Church has the right to
convert to its own morals and to
persuade others," Bennett said,
"but it should exercise-restraint
in approaching legal enforcement
of these."

rip
rr

Bennett also warned against pa
ticipation in partisan politics, ad
ing that in some situations it
justfied. He cited the example
a segregationest party which I
church would then, Bennett sa
be justified in actively opposing
"The Church must reneml
that religious liberty includes t
liberty to reject religion," Be
nett stated.
He said that the Church mu
"depend on freedom of thougl
not bounded by religion."
Freedom To Deny
"Freedom to believe often b
gins as freedom to deny. We shou
realize that all three major r
ligions are often foundin pe
verted forms, turning people
atheism."
The church is also often t
cause of anti-clerical movemen
by supporting vested interests
such institutions as slavery, se
regation, and abusive capitalis
practices, Bennett said.
