districts will hole elections Saturday April 9 How Do You Address A By Jedy Rowan Economist Staff Writer ministers are di- vided in opinion on the proper way they should be addressed The question on correct usage came as a result of a recent action of Lansing Mich ministers who objected to being called Reverend They Nothing so infuriates a ster named Jones as being called Reverend Jones Reverend is an adjective not a title If a son is not a doctor he is like other men a mister The Rev Paul Schuessler pastor at Our Redeemer rUtheran church 6430 S vard ave said that he liked to be called Pastor rather than Reverend He felt that the Reverend had come into popular usage in Chicago hough in Milwaukee where he served as minister everyone used the title Pastor He explained that some ministers objected the itle Reverend because of a passage in the Bible which refers to God rather than to man It Holy and reverend is His name Ps Pastor Schuessler said that in written correspondence to a ister he is usually referred the Rev or the Rev Mr Another minister prefers to be called Pastor is the Rev V Caldwell of Faith United Church of Christ W and S Throop sts He said that le prefers to be addressed that way because it has the meaning of one who is shepherd of his Hock That according to Pastor Caldwell is what is the purpose of a man's calling to the ministry One of his church members however said that they usually referred to him as Mr when they were talking to him and as erend if they were talking about dim The Rev Theo V L Harvey of Englewood Baptist church 415 W Englewood ave said that he was indifferent as to the way he was addressed He likes the terms Mr and Pastor with the sastor slightly preferred He ed that it depends on the tion too with speaking to him as Mr Harvey but speaking about him as the Rev Mr Harvey The Christian Century azine called the use of the term as an odious tice which beginning with the illiterate and unchurched has spread in recent years until one is no longer safe from it even in the columns of metropolitan dailies or on the platforms of urban churches Emily Post the social arbiter called the use of Reverend a grave social error She says the correct term is Mister Summing up the name-calling situation among ministers was the Rev J B Martin of Auburn Park Methodist church W 75th st and S Harvard ave He said that it is a matter which differs among various churches with some more for- mal than others in terms of ad- dress He explained that some of his church members have called him Doctor as a term of dignity since he served as
