PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1964 LETTER TO EDITOR . . . (Continued from page 2) JVN ANNUAL BUDGET BREAK- 1)0WN OF THE N.C.C.C. U.S.A. OF EACH DOLLAR 54 cents, for World Missions, "World Relief, Rehabilitation, $8,- 245,220. 18 cents, for interpretation of the Christian message through Christian teaching materials, ev angelism, radio, films, TV, etc., $2,725,090. 11 cents, for Home Missions, ministry to migrants, Church Women and Church Men, $1, < 714,- 760. 14 cents, for publishing opera tions and film productions, $2,066,- 030. 2 cents, for administration of Council’s programs, $361,750. 1 cent, other operations, $216,- 420. Total expenditures, $15,329,- 270. HOW EXTENSIVE IS THE WORK OF THE N.C.C. IN THE FIELD OF RACE RELATIONS? In reply to a recent letter of the N.C.C. inquiring as to the amount of money expended in race rela tions work the Rev. Donald J. Landwer, Assistant General Sec retary of Finance advises that the total expended by the Council’s Commission on Religion and Race in 1963 was a little more than 1 percent of the budget of the N.C.C. HOW MUCH DOES THE LUTH ERAN CHURCH IN AMERICA CONTRIBUTE TO THE N.C.C.? The amount is apportioned an nually and varies slightly from year to year. In 1962 the L.C.A. contributed $102,600 to the total -work of the N.G.C., representing 2- 10ths of the Lutheran Church in America budget. HOW MUCH OF THIS GOES TO THE N.C.C. COMMISSION ON RACE AND RELIGION? Since the Commission on Race and Religion expends approximate ly 1 percent of the N.C.C.’s budget therefore approximately $1,926 of the L.C.A. contributions went to this work. The Lutheran Synod of South Carolina, through its contributions to the Lutheran Church in Ameri ca, sent approximately 1-15th of 1 percent of its total budget, or $1,109 for the total work of the N.C.C. Of this, 1 percent was spent for the Council’s Commission on Religion and Race, or $11.09. , In other words, the 140 congregations of the South Carolina Synod con tributed a total of $11.09 toward this one part of the N.C.C.’s total program, or an average of less than 8 cents per congregation. On a membership basis, members of the S. C. Synod averaged less than 3- 100ths of one penny each toward this activity. PASTOR’S COMMENTS ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES OF THE NA TIONAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES The above information is given solely for the purpose of provid ing at least in part an understand ing of the program of the N.C.C. and specifically, the Council’s ac tivities in the field of religion and race. Many of us as laymen and as clergymen alike have question ed this activity, and have raised questions concerning the advisa bility of such a Council (an agen cy of 31 denominations) becoming involved in such activities as the March on Washington, and the re cruitment and training of civil rights workers in Mississippi and elsewhere. Others have scrutiniz ed this aspect of the Council’s work, and our own Lutheran Church in America is presently making a complete study of its relationship to the Council, as well as the Council’s services. Let it be said, however, that a great amount of GOOD work is being accomplished by the 31 affil iated denominations through this agency. In fact, 99 percent of its work seems not only good, but es sential to The Lord’s Kingdom, work which we would not want to see weakened or cancelled. It would seem, therefore, that much that has been printed about the National Council has ignored the good work performed, and has en larged upon what many of us would question about the Council. Much has been said, particularly by such people as Carl McIntyre, the radio ‘preacher’, in an effort, it seems, to stir folks of all de nominations toward rash judg ments and quick condemnation. We must remember that such people make their living (and good ones usually) by magnifying things out of proportion and by distorting the whole truth. We are living in a time when we cannot afford to listen to those who would twist the facts in an effort to make our blood pressure rise or our tempers boil. In fact, this time and situation we’re liv ing in demand sober thinking, pa tient understanding, loving and compassionate attitudes from ALL sides. We must be fervent in the qualities of God’s Holy Spirit. Admittedly, we disagree with some of the activities of the Na tional Council and we want these activities explained and changed. However, when a car has a bad spark plug and misses a bit, you don’t scrap the whole car, rather, you change the sparkplug. This is precisely what the South Carolina Synod has requested of the Luth eran Church in America, and oth er bodies in other member denom inations have also requested the same procedure. Let us, then, pa tiently and rationally await their findings. Let us pray for Christ’s consuming and consoling spirit of love to lead us in solving all of these many critical problems that now face us and our society. We hope the report above will help our members and others to come to a fuller understanding of the situation. h. a. McCullough jr. Marriages...
