Dr. Proctor
Cites Growth
Os The Race
NEW YORK (NPI) Just as the
Civil Rights Law has established a
"beach head” racially in the Na
tion, the Commission on Religion
and Race has established a “beach
head” in the church world, com
mented the top Negro executive
office of the National Council of
Churches.
In an exclusive interview follow
ing hi® election as Associate Gener
al Secretary for Interpretation of
NCC, Dr. Samuel DeWitt Proctor
said that this is the first, time the
church has moved beyond the level
of “intention, persuasion and moral
influence” into the realm of overt
action on this scale.
Referring to the 1964 report
on the work of the NCC’s Corn
minion of Religion' and Race,
Dr. f*roctor emphasized “this
has caused no small stir” a
mong the churches. The great
est development, he added, has
been not the numbers of those
"who are standing by the
church.” The Commission on
Religion and Race was an out
growth of tthe Nattlonal Coun
cil!,'r conference on Religion
astd Race held in Chicago in
January, 1962.
In refply to a question or. the
Southern churches who had with
held funds from the NCC because
of their activity in civil rights, the
new, leader said that the number of
Methodist, Episcopal, Disciples and
Presbyterian churches in the South
that expressed opposition Is “min
uscule” compared to the number
who have accepted this joint chal

the churches.

For the first time in North Caro

General Claude Bowers stat
ed Monday that the incident
was peacefully and voluntarily
carried out since racial har

Gen. Bowers also said the N. G.

Southern states w’ner he said Sun
day that he wanted every aspect
