- Text transcribed from caption: Suggested for use in connection with Brotherhood Week, Feb. 20-27 PC-49290 SIGNS OF THE PAST Like the Birmingham, Alabama, store they are located on, “colored” and “white” entrances have been abandoned in this country. But signs of the recent past such as these still remain to remind Americans that there is a long way to go towards achieving mutual respect. Brotherhood Week, a program of the National Conference of Christians and Jews in cooperation with schools, churches and synagogues, civic, service and community organizations, serves to remind us that “Brotherhood Begins with Respect.” Brotherhood Week will be observed for the 44th time from Feb. 20-27.

Signs they carried charged the new bishop with being a “pawn of the Yugoslavian Communists.” At one point during the picketing, minor scuffling broke out and police intervened to prevent more serious altercations. The incident was part of a continuing controversy over the division of the Diocese into three sections and the suspension of Bishop Dionisije, who has headed the entire Diocese, by the Church’s Council of Bishops in Belgrade. Bishop Dionisije refused to recognize the suspension; he said charges against him alleging canonical offense were lodged by a “handful of Communists among the American Serbs” and that the Council was under pressure from “Tito’s Communist regime in Yugoslavia.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RCW-Milw-8B-63-NBM)

Ten swimmers dived into the lake to recover the religious article during the annual Festival of the Holy Cross. First to find it was Nicholas Apostolopoulos, 24, of Toronto. More than 5,000 persons, some from New York, were present at the traditional Greek ceremony which commemorates the Baptism of Christ.

The conference also agreed that each of the Orthodox Churches may unilaterally decide whether it will send delegate-observers to the second session of the Second Vatican Council. The Orthodox Church in Greece did not attend the meeting, having followed the lead of Archbishop Chrysostomos of Athens and All-Greece who held that unity with the Roman Catholic Church was “unattainable.” The word “reconciliation,” not “reunion,” was stressed by delegates at Rhodes.
