Wiley, who serves as liaison between the prodominately white .Southern Baptist Conven tion and the black National Baptist Convention, explained the paucity of support for (iruham in the black communi ty by saying: "they (blacks) have the feeling that when there was need for leadership on crucial civil rights matters, he (Dr. (iraham > talked a lot about the • See B BY CHARLES K.
