MINISTER LONDON -- British Prime Minister Harold Wilson meets in London with
the top church leaders of Ulster to discuss “the need to build upon the
cessation of violence and the great desire of all communities for peace” in
Northern Ireland. At the meeting are, from left: Stanley Orme, Minister of
State for Northern Ireland; Cardinal William Conway, Roman Catholic Primate
of All Ireland; Mr. Wilson; Mervyn Rees, Secretary of State for Northern
Ireland; and Archbishop George Simms, Anglican Primate of Ireland. Also
attending the conference were the Rt. Rev. Temple Lundi, moderation of the
Presbyterian General Assembly, and the Rev. Harold Sloan, secretary of the
Northern Ireland Methodist Church. The meeting coincided with the
announcement in Dublin by Irish Republican Army Provisionals that they were
extending for two weeks -- until Jan. 16 -- the Christmas truce which was
initiated after talks with the churchmen. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS
