The 23,000,000 members of twenty-five Protestant denominations in the U.S. and Canada, affiliated with the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, will be urged to inaugurate a racial amity program in appeals from 140,000 pulpits this Sunday, it was announced today by headquarters of the Council.
The churches are being advised by the Council to “give support to the doctrine of brotherhood by standing against discrimination on account of race, creed, or national origin in employment, education, housing, and recreation;” and church members are urged to “enlist for definite tasks to promote inter-racial brotherhood in the organizations and activities” of their own community.
