Included among the insti tute's participants were 13 stu dents from the six Baptists Students Association of Appa lachian College at Boone. Dr. Smith's closing address to the institute hit a note that seeded almost to be the theme of the other two speakers, "The civil rights movement is a way station along the road to full human dignity."

He dis cussed the relationship be tween religious f*ith and poli tical decisions "If Christians are to relate themselves to political pro cesses, they must do so by lift ing every issue to the sanctity of love," Dr. Kelsey said. "It is love which is the impelling motivation in Christian life.

Representative of the work that Americans are doing to extend democracy abroad is a proejct started in Uganda by Dr Horace G. Dawson, former director of the North Carolina College News Bureau. Dawson launched a trimonth ly newsletter, "Uganda Calling" that opened the lines of com munication between Ugandians at home and abroad. One outgrowth of the insti tute was referral to the Dur ham Committee on Negro Af fairs and the Durham Business and Professional Chain a pro ject from the panel on busi ness. \ Kelsey said Christians must take a realistic stand. "There is no place where we can serve that is not dubious," he said. "Christians must never become doctrinaire party men. Their responsibility is to make an analysis of attitudes or mo tivations of the human spirit, using existing apparatus. Emphasizing his belief that Christians must work within existing institutions such as political parties, labor unions and other Dr. Kelsey said. "The Christian church has a right to speak on every issue of moral concern." Individual Christians, he con tinued, should examine politi cal strategies and make a moral decision on each specific issue. latios Institute at White Rock Baptist Church Friday, Febru ary 10.
