The confrontation between a pastor and a bishop in western Pennsylvania has brought the attention of many Lutherans to the theological and ecclesiastical issues affecting social ministry and justice advocacy.

An appeals panel has upheld the decision of a disciplinary committee recommending that the Rev. D. Douglas Roth, formerly pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Clairton, PA, be removed from the ministry. Investigating panels have also recommended the resignation of two other pastors, Rev. Daniel Solberg and Rev. William Rex.

As VANGUARD went to press, full details of the nation-wide action were still being confirmed, but indictments had been returned in Phoenix, and refugee arrests were made in at least four states.

"Xenophobia, the hatred of the foreigner, is spreading in Europe. Dear friends, the 'hideous beast' is rising again among us, and, as before, governments are being weak and not combating this climate of hate. What starts with xenophobia ends with war.''

So said Bruno Kreisky, former chancellor of Austria, on the 46th anniversary of "Kristall Nacht," November 10, 1984, at Dachau in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Defense lawyers in the trial of 11 Sanctuary church workers who were indicted by the U.S. government for their work in sheltering refugees from Guatemala and El Salvador are pressing motions to dismiss the case on the basis of selective prosecution.

The Lutheran churches are in Indian country.

Hundreds of Lutheran congregations are within 10 miles of an Indian reservation. Hundreds more are in cities with large Indian populations, cities like Minneapolis, Sioux Falls, Seattle, Phoenix, Milwaukee and San Francisco.

Most Indian people, either on reservations or in cities, live in poverty and suffer more unemployment, poorer education, higher rates of illness and less opportunity than any other segment of society.

Irreparable damage was inflicted on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights during a bitter and protracted debate spanning much of 1983. The past year has seen the loss of an independent civil rights 'watchdog' that has served the nation welt for over 25 years. It was a one-of-a-kind agency that will be difficult, if not impossible, to replace.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights was created by President Eisenhower in 1957 for the express purpose of investigating and monitoring in an objective manner the civil rights policies of the federal government. Under this responsibility it monitors the performance of federal …

The Rev. Dr. Albert "Pete" Pero proclaimed the event to be '' A union which will make the new church take justice seriously.'' Pero, a member of the Transcultural Task Force, Association of Black Lutherans (LCA) …

In the early 1980's the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service began a policy of incarcerating Haitians at Miami's Krome Detention Center. A visit to the facility in those days revealed the inhumane treatment being afforded to people who in desperation had fled the tyrannical regime of President-for-Life Jean-Claude Duvalier in creaky, overloaded boats.

At Krome they sat-month after month-segregated from family and friends in a strange new land; prisoners penned in by barbed-wire fences. Krome was aptly characterized as an ugly scar on the face of American democracy.

Logic And Limits Of Animal Liberation, Edward R. Bennett

Animal Welfare Collection

The current interest in treatment towards animals goes beyond the focus of isolated instances of brutality and encompasses the advocacy of significant changes in our traditional attitudes toward animals. In one year (1980) an estimated 2,054,281,000 hogs, beef, lamb, and poultry were raised on farms and slaughtered in the U.S.* (Agricultural Statistics 1981), and 1,653,385 laboratory animals were used by facilities registered with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA 197 4). Adding to this the number of related animal industries such as textiles, farm equipment manufacturing, cosmetics and drug industries, restaurants, and groceries, it is easy to appreciate the …
