Methodists Back Right of Viet War Objection At Redlands
Approximately 300 delegates at the 18th annual United Methodist conference in Redlands debated a resolution supporting conscientious objection to specific wars. Rev. Thomas Tendell said the measure condemns no dissent or law flouting and urges legal recognition of individual conscience in wars. A separate marijuana resolution, aligned with a State Assembly bill, allows latitude for nonfelony cases but does not condone use, noting judges’ hesitation to convict first-time users and permitting probation decisions in appropriate cases.
