Text transcribed from caption: PC-46086 LATIN METHODIST: SYNOD OF MAJOR INTEREST LA PAZ, Bolivia -- The Methodist Bishop of Bolivia is following the proceedings of the World Synod of Roman Catholic Bishops in Rome with more than cursory interest because the Synod's theme of evangelization "is especially significant for Latin America." “In reality," said Bishop Mortimer Arias, "this is an ecumenical search, because all of us, Roman Catholics and Protestants, are searching for an effective theology of evangelization of man in Latin America -- a theology that will liberate, humanize and conscientize Christians." The 50-year-old bishop said he hopes the Synod will "come to grips” with the theology of liberation, the theology developed in Latin America which seeks to penetrate the controversial area where the Gospel is applied to questions of social justice.

The service in the Negro First Baptist church was preceded by a gathering of the clergymen in the nearby Haven Methodist church, also a Negro congregation. Leading a procession to the interracial service -- which drew only a handful of Clarksdale whites and no local white clergymen -- were Dr. Robert Dodds, right, of New York City, general director of planning for the NCC, and the Rev. C.D. Coleman of Memphis, Tenn., general secretary of the Board of Christian Education, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (1-NY-8C-63-NBM)

He served an injunction on two of 36 ministers from several states who traveled to Clarksdale at the request of the National Council of Churches’ special Commission on Religion and Race. The injunction, while not applicable to the religious observance in the Negro church, was a sweeping ban against virtually all types of integration demonstrations. None of the approximately 20 white Clarksdale clergymen took part in the prayer service. The NCC commission and Clarksdale Negro ministers held the service in an effort to establish communication with local authorities. The injuction was handed here to the Rev. Brad Minturn, left, a Protestant Episcopal minister of Silver Spring, Md., and the Rev. Gerald Forshey, a leader of the Interracial Council of Methodists in Chicago, Ill.
