The National Conference of Jews and Christians has named a Protestant minister, a Roman Catholic priest and a Jewish rabbi to tour cities and colleges in the South together from January 27 until February 15 and to preside at interdenominational discussions of religious tolerance, with a view to furthering the conference’s unceasing campaign to prevent outcroppings in this country of the racial antagonism now sweeping Europe.
Two rabbis, Morris S. Lazaron and Philip S. Bernstein, will share between them the duties of this pilgrimage of good will. The Catholic representative will be Father T. Lawrason Riggs, while the Reverend Everett R. Clinchy, a Presbyterian minister and director of the conference, will be the Protestant member of the group.
Rabbi Lazaron will travel with Father Riggs and Dr. Clinchy until February 7, when he will be replaced by Rabbi Bernstein, who will make the last leg of the trip.
