- Text transcribed from caption: P-31664 EUROPEAN CHURCHMEN HOLD SHIPBOARD CONFERENCE COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- Some 200 European churchmen boarded the Danish vessel Bornholm at Copenhagen and convened a meeting of the Conference of European Churches as the ship sailed in the Baltic Sea. The meeting was held on the ship to permit participation by a 15-member delegation from East Germany. The Danish Government refused permission for the delegation to enter the country without Western allied travel documents for which East German authorities would not let them apply. Protestant, Anglican, Orthodox and Old Catholic representatives from nearly all European countries attended the conference. Roman Catholic observers also took part. In bottom photo, Dr. Glen Garfield Williams (left) of Geneva, Conference executive secretary, examines a news account in advance of the meeting with Bishop Hanns Lilje (center) of Hanover, chairman of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church in Germany, and Dr. Joseph L. Hromadka, dean of the Amos Comenius Theological Faculty at Prague, Czechoslovakia. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (2-GS-10B-64-NBM)
