ITr<lar, Journaliat, Contributing Nationally Known Kconomlti
bUHtor Chrlallun Herald and Lay-I'raachor
. MR. HJQH OPKNS: King Ahab
called Elijah a "troubler of Israel."
Christians call him a prophet Ah^h
wanted the Ahab status-quo; Elijah
wanted righteousness.
... Prophets ate nvlthe*v~*Mpoiqlltl
nor business men. They dorr*tk'rre:&d
40 be. What they need to be Is sensitive
vmd courageous enough?**?see.
and preach the Iniquity of enforced
.inequality; the evil of great wealth
in the midst of great poverty; the
greed of those who possess when
confronted with the wretchedness
and aspirations of those who are
dispossessed. y.
When, thus, a preacher Identities
himself with life on the other side
of the tracks he attains, by Christian
standards, some prophetic stature.
And the Ahabs, forthwith, set
upon him.
Jesus declared that "the Kingdom
of God is within you." But He wasn't
cruclAed for that He was crucified
because, having rested His Kingdom
on man's conscience He then went
on to lay upon that.conscience such
specific, down-to-edrth responsibilities
that the Ahab set-up was endangered
and the Ahabs violently
alarmed.
Christianity has been vita)?and is
today?whenever its message has
been centered, not on the bolstering
of things-as-they-are, but on an activity-producing
vision of thlngs-aethey-ought-to-be.
DR. BAAH CHALLENGES) I
agree that church leader* need not
posh as Industrial experts. Nor do
they qualify. That is why I wish they.
would all stick to their real Jobs, as
most of them do.
Our "inequalities" sure not "foreed"
on ue; but would Mr. High "foace"
equality regardless of capacities?
Too great wealth may be evil, but
poverty la not necessarily holy.
Oread Is a common human trait I
would attack greed wherever it la,
not encourage it among the unsucceaeful
by denouncing success. The
modern Ahab has been supplanted
by the political witch of Kndor.
MB. HIGH uruili Dr. Haake,
at this lata data, evidently clings to
the belief that "inequality" la chiefly
due to incapacity and only rarely a
result of Injustice. That has bean the
factually unsubstantiated argument
of the defenders of the status-quo |
aver since the Pharaohs.
It is not the denouncing of sue- j
cess that is at issue, but its definition.
Happily, we are removing die'
success-idea from Its monetary
wrapper. Happily, also, wa have begun
to demand from the "successfulnot
onlks personal but a social
accounting.
80 long as tha Church Is an earthly
agency for good it will have a responsibility
for furthering both of
those promising developments.
DR. IIAAKK OPKNS: In a world
of economic ami political disruptions
and disorders, many Church
toa<]e>ra have felt it their responsl*
bility to sponsor actual and speciAo
{(Qlitlcal economic reform*. Those
eadera, perhaps unwittingly have
added to the confusion and misunderstanding
of whht is really wrong
and what is to be done about it. They
condemn Justly the manifestations of
error, but fall In tracing the true
cause or> In offering a fit remedy.
I Changes In political and economicstructure
are not the remedy for our
Ula What we need Is not more laws
but better and ablor people We do
not help the poor by destroying the
rich We do not provide economic
Improvement and progress for the
unfit by penalising the At
As history demonstrates, the rem*
edy lies In raising the Intelligence,
Atness and moral responsibility of
mankind. The Church can ^est serve
society by encouraging and aiding
men to understand, accept and apply
high standards of persona) conduct
and responsibility to their fellow*
men.
It Is slgnlAcant that Jesus advocated
no economic or political re*
forms,?did not deal with the economic
problems Into which modern
preachers hurl themselvea Instead
; He taught men Mthe Kingdom of
Heaven la within you" and encour
aged the betterment of Individual
men through their own efforts.
MB. HIGH CHALLBNGR81 That
| It Is the business of the Church to
make good people Is obvious. Dr.
Haake wqpld measure their goodness
by their confessions of faith The
Church, at its prophetic tjest, meat*
ures It by the extern^) manifestations
of a good conscience, La, on#
that has been jolted Into Society-improving
activity.
Dr. Haake wants in economic or*
der made in the image of the past?
the DOt-too-recent past He is not
likely to get it If the Church had
adequately done Its proper work on
