Sydney Thursday The Australian Council of Churches advocates exemptions from National Service for conscientious objectors. A document issued by the council appeals to the Australian Government for changes in the act. The council cites Anglican Protestant and Orthodox members and echoes bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in seeking an alternate service form. The secretary notes the case has not been fully examined and warns against emotive labels that obscure moral obligations for objectors and draft resisters.
