New York — (RNS) — Roman
Catholic schools are “in some
sense a' public venture in educa
tion” and should be supported by
Protestants, a Christian education
specialist said here.
Dr. Robert Lynn, associate pro
fessor of Christian education at
New York’s Union Theological
Seminary, suggested to the first
National Study Conference on
Weekday Religious Education that
local Protestant churches could
lend their Sunday school class
rooms to overcrowded Catholic
schools.
“If the Sunday school hour is
not the most wasted time of the
week,” he said, “then at least the
Sunday school building is doubt
less the most wasted building space
in America.”
DR. LYNN told participants in
the conference, sponsored by the
NCC’s Department of Church and
Public School Relations, that
Protestants must explore a vari
ety of ways to support “public
ventures in education.”
These could include, he said,
tutoring and remedial reading pro
grams, academic summer camps
for children in rural and slum
schools, pupil exchanges between
suburban and inner-city schools,
guidance counseling services and
weekday religious classes designed

ROMAN CATHOLIC critics of
parochial schools often have main
tained that the subject of religion
is less effectively taught than oth
er courses, Dr. Lynn said. “We
may have something to share with
the Catholics here,” he added, “be
cause we have some of the same
difficulties. I would like to see
local groups of Roman Catholic
and Protestant educators convers
ing about how they teach religion.”

Aim at Cooperation
Glendale, Ohio — (NC) — Dele
gates of some 25 organizations
sponsoring or employing lay vol
unteers in U.S. mission work took
steps here toward mutual coopera
tion and help.
About 50 representatives of the
organizations met (June 28-30) at
the Glenmary Home Missioners’
seminary here for a “mission semi
nar.”
After discussion of recruiting,
screening, field supervision, clergy
lay relations, publicity and fin
ances, they formed a seven-mem
ber committee to “begin a rudi
mentary central clearing house for
information and coordination of
the home mission effort.”
FATHER JOSEPH O’DONNELL
of Glenmary was named chairman
of the committee. Other members
are Msgr. Edward W. O’Rourke,
executive director of the National
Catholic Rural Life Conference; Fa
ther John J. Sullivan, director of
Extension Lay Volunteers; Sister
Mary Anne of the Glenmary Sis
ters; Marilyn Riehle of Glenmary
Lay Volunteers; Kenneth Farrell
Faithful Scribe. A. Brower and
R. A. Evers were named inside
and outside guards respectively.
The trustees are P. B. Edelen, H.
W. Clody and R. F. Booth. The
Bishop McGuiness Council covers
most of eastern North Carolina
from Durham to the coast
of Christian Family Movement
unteers; and Father William «
mahon of the Rockford, 111,, |
cese, also associated with tl
Christian Family Moyoment.
Archbishop Kar*\J. Alter of Cj
cinnati opened me seminar wi
an address on the general prim
pies of the lay apostolate.
NOTING THAT THE Secoi
Vatican Council may adopt a stal
ment on the subject, he predict
that nothing basic will be ehana
by it.
“The lay apostolate is as old
the Church itself,” he declare
“all who are baptized have an equ
responsibility to work for the e
tension of Christ’s kingdom i
earth, according to their state
life.”
HE CITED THE need ft
“screening” candidates for lay mij
sion posts and providing them wiS
information. A lay volunteer, h
said, ought to be “a normal per
son with more than average intel
ligence and knowledge of th
Faith, and with zeal for bringin
the faith to others.”
The Glenmary Home Missipnei
sponsored the seminar as an level
in their year-long observance o
the 25th anniversary of thei
founding by the late Father 1
Howard Bishop. G’enmary is a a
ciety of secular priests and Brdtl
ers dedicated to work in the Araer
