Bishop Henry Says U. S.
MoreReligion Conscious
Th,, Rt Rev M George Henry
bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of !
Western North Oaroilna, wae guest
speeker at the meeting of the Mur
phy Civitan Club In the recreation
room of the First Methodist
Church Monday night
Bishop Henry said that Religion
in 1953 has become of widespread
public interest. He said that Nation
al magazines, newspapers, radios
and television gave regular cover
age to religious news and articles,
and that there are far fewer pro
fessed atheists today. National
leaders, he said have included in
their speeches need for moral and
spiritual regeneration if this na
tion is to survive
Bishop Henry was introduced by
the Rev Rhett Y. Winters, Jr ]
The bishop said.
This revival of religious con
cern provides both dangers and
hopes for 1954. There is danger in
America of former fasarem which
brands ever, orpe who doesn t think
as we do as communists The
church must often stand tn judg
ment of she status quo The Litur
gical movement has its hopes when
I churches return to the traditional
j forms of worship, without regard
! to the meaning and historical use.
I There is danger that these forms
^ may become idolitrou.s
The hopeful sign of the liturgi
cal movement is that the churches
will be drawn closer together
