The Lutheran Church in America, meeting in convention June 21-29 in Kansas City, Missouri, passed two recommendations which commit that church body to a broader and more intensive ministry to the Indian American. The two recommendations were embodied in the convention report of the LCA's Board of American Missions, and grew out of a special study conducted for the Board by Miss Henrietta Lund, consultant to the United Nations for the National Lutheran Council. Miss Lund has done a number of comprehensive studies for the LCA and other Lutheran church bodies on various aspects of the Church's ministry to the …

21 students and instructors from the University of Pennsylvania helped local Negroes erect a $10,000 community center during Christmas vacation.

In November, 1964, The Lutheran Witness commented on the Nobel Prize awarded to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There were those who immediately responded to the article, criticizing both Dr. King and the Witness for casting him in a favorable light.

The federal government is not the only agency which chooses to fight aggressively the destructive forces at work in the poverty pockets of our cities. In Kansas City, Faith Lutheran Church had long been serving the Northeast Neighborhood in its direct and straightforward way when, in July of 1965, the newly-created Office of Economic Opportunity decided, upon petition by the church, to devote a portion of its funds to this predominantly Negro, lower-income area of the city. The agreement which enabled this cooperation to take place stated that all clients would be served regardless of religious affiliation, and that all …

For years the vast majority of America's people have backed away from becoming involved in attempts to solve our country's racial problems. Perhaps one reason is the immense and complex nature of these problems. Perhaps they feel there is nothing really that an INDIVIDUAL can do about them.

The Lutheran Human Relations Association of America believes that MANY INDIVIDUALS working away at the problems - in many different places at the same time can achieve much. But it is necessary that there be no postponement. On the strength of such convictions, in cooperation with Valparaiso University, LHRAA has chosen to …

Cultural And Social Problems Of An Indian Pueblo, Thomas P. Lief

Sociology ETDs

This study describes the impact of social change upon the social structure of an Indian pueblo community in New Mexico.

To fit this inquiry into the empirical realm of facts, the community of San Juan pueblo was chosen, not so much because of its unique cultural configuration, as for the fact that it offered an opportune area …
