CHARLOTTE (UPI) — Delegate
to the 135th annual meeting of
the North Carolina Baptist State
Convention ’ will be asked to ap
prove three tradition - shattering
proposals when the two-day ses
sion opens here today.
Two committee reports will ask
Baptists to desegregate their
churches, praise the Roman Cath
olic Ecumenical Council and ap
prove federal aid to church-sup
ported schools.
The Christian Life Committee will
also submit a condemnation of the
Ku Klux Klan in its report. It says
that Baptists ‘'are equally opposedi
to any other group which fosters
bigotry and hatred.”
While the proposahi were contro
versial, one convention source fore
cast one of the most harmonious
meetings is recent years. However,
he said a floor fight was “not en
tirely impossible.”
More than 3,500 delegates were
also to choose a successor to the
j Rev. Howard J. Ford of Wilmtng
! ton. the convention president, at
a closing session Wednesday. Lead
ing candidates were Dr. Carl E.
Bates of Charlotte, The Rev. E. W.
Price Jr. of High Point and Rev.
Tom Freeman of Dunn.
The delegates wiit also be ask
ed to approve the general board’s
annual report, including proposed
constituitional changes to permit
the president to appoint a parlia
mentarian to assist him; to adopt
KEV. TOM FREEMAN
“rules of order” as a parliamentary
guide rather than a “parliamentary
law" now in use.
Another proposal would have fUr
ture conventions begin on Monday
night and end Wednesday nights
eliminating lightly-attended Thurs
day morning sessions.
A convention source said the
three proposals offered by commit
tees on public affairs and Christian
Life represented a “new, forward
looking stance” for the Baptist
church. He said Baptists “tradi
tionally were rather conservative"
in the past.
