Church Condems African
Segregation Law
LONDON. England - Official
action condemning the South
African government's apar
theid (segregation) policies, es
pecially as they affect relig
ion and education, has been
taken by the Church oi Eng
land.
Resolutions adopted by the
Convocation of Canterbury ex
pressed "deep sympathy with
the Church cf the Province of
South African and all those
other churches now engaged in
struggling to preserve the in
violate right of members of
Christian churches to worship
together without distinction of
race or color." It assured South
African bishops of the constant
support and prayers of the
Canterbury bishops in oppos
ing the Native Laws Amend
ment Bill which, among other
things, prohibites Negroes from
attending services at churches
in white communities without
specific permission from the
Minister of Native Affairs. The
resolution also voiced opposi
tion to a bill providing for
separate university education of
natives and whites. Almost
identical action was taken by
the Convocation of York.
The Most Rev. and Rt. Hon.
Geoffrey Francis Fisher. Arch
bishop of Canterbury, said that
although the resolution repre
sented the Church’s first official
action on the policies of the
South African government, he

Receive Grant
NEW YORK. N. Y —The di
rector of United Church Wom
en. Mrs. iWlliam M. MacLeod,
has announced that a grant of
520.000 to her organization
would be used to give religious
and civic leaders a chance to
sit down together and speak
‘freely and frankly’’ on con
troversial problems.
This year’s grant is double
the amount of a similar grant
awarded last year, which helped
establish 24 workshops on “How
To eDul iWth Controversy” in
states from North Dakota to
Florida. “Church and civic lead
ers in communities where he
workshops have been function
ing have reported a warm re
sponse and anew awareness of
the probems of people in mi
nority groups.’’ Mrs. MacLeod
said.
Each workshop chooses the
questions most pertinent to its
community, ranging from slum
clearance to problems of school
integration, and their roeus is
on alerting and educating
church women on civil rights
and liberties.
United Church Women is a
department of the National
Council of Churches of Christ
in the U. S. A. and represents
ten million American women in

had on occasion declared that
apartheid was wrong. ‘But the
Church in general has been de
liberately restrained." he said
“because the bishops of the Pro
vince of South Africa had said
it would embarrass them and
increase their difficulties.”
Dr. Hsher recalled that the
late Anglican Bishop of Cape
town. Dr. Geoffrey Hare Clay
ton, just before his death last
March had sent a letter to the
South African Prime Ministei
protesting the legislation which
would give the government con
trol over church services at
tended by both Europeans and
Africans. The letter was hand
ed to the Prime Minister aftei
the archbishop’s death. Dr.
Clayton had written Dr. Fisher
asking that his action be rep
resented favorably to the
Church of England.
"I believe." Dr. Fisher said,
'that it would be within the
wishes of ha grea and glori
ous Christian leader if the
Church of England now said
something in public."
Bishop G. K. A. Bell of Chi
chester, who introduced the
Canterbury resolution, said he
feared relations between the
worsening and might get be
yond control. Bishop John Leo
nard Wilson of Birmingham said
he thought the protest “a little
too late.” He added, however,
that he was glad people should
understand “the theological here
sy” of apartheid.
