Episcopal Bishop Defends Aid to Blacks Against Suit
In Boston the Episcopal bishop of Massachusetts defends a $200,000 grant to the National Committee of Black Churchmen amid a suit by Acton men Walter Gates and Davis Arms. The church says the action does not reflect parish views. The grant was approved at a summer convention, with MA diocese fundraising partially successful and more sought during Christmas season. The bishop cites broad support and calls the Economic Conference constructive despite past extreme statements.
