The following listing is taken from the Adult Education Series, The Lutheran Church in America, presented by the Board of Publication, 2900 Queen Lane, Philadelphia, Pa. 19-129. These titles were chosen for review by The Vanguard because they relate the Christian commitment to specific problems in society and specific issues in human relations. Each set of books is designed as a study course for church/ discussion groups. We recommend them especially for white North American Christians - for use by the entire congregation, the social service committee, the elders, the adult Bible class - and urge that they be taken …

The gathering of armed government personnel, the sound of fired weapons, and the entrenched commitment of Indian people at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, constitute a chilling and grim reminder of a senseless slaughter of innocents less than 85 years ago at the very same site. That occasion saw U.S. troops bearing down on defenseless men, women, and children in the little village.

A Study Of The Relationship Between Unemployment In Indiana And The United States, Jack W. Bell

Graduate Thesis Collection

Each state or region within the United States has certain unique and distinct characteristics that cause its economic performance to vary from that of the nation as a whole. Unemployment rates, as summary measures of unutilized manpower resources, frequently serve as a gauge of the general economic situation and social well-being. It is a well documented fact that unemployment is not evenly distributed througout the nation. For example, although 54% of the labor force is concetrated in the northeast and north central regions, they only account for 46% of the unemployment in recent years. This thesis focuses on the measurement …

A recent Associated Press news story by Bernard Gavzer makes a startling, frightening comparison between the conditions which marked the lives of people in minority communities in this country during the 1960's, and the conditions which affect their lives today.

"As bad as things were then. . . they are worse now. Jobs, police, hostility, housing, schools, welfare, medical care. Bad. And a change, too, in many people. Despair, isolation, a notion that the color of evil is white."

"One thing American Indians don't lack is Indian experts. All told, there are probably more experts than Indians.

A hope which LHRAA has held through all the days of its history is that the church would assume a responsible position of leadership in the matter of human relations.

The Attitudes Of College Students Toward The Physically Handicapped: A Study In Social Distance, Joseph Ellis

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The problem of rehabilitation of the physically handicapped in the United States is one of massive proportions. A 1968 survey conducted by the Department of Transportation estimates the number of physically disabled persons in the United States to be approximately 30 million.¹

As noted above, physical deviance serves as a basis of social differentiation; and where this differentiation takes on a negative character, the concept of social distance can be useful in measuring the attitudes of physically normal persons in their acceptance or rejection of those who are physically deviant.

This study intends to examine the normals' contacts (in …

The Impact Of The Federal Stamp Program On Food Purchasing Habits Of The Socioeconomic Class, Joe Turner

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The implementation of the Federal Food Stamp program affords an opportunity to do responsible research on this topic due to the manner in which the program is administered. The fact that coverage is authorized on a county basis rather than a state-wide basis, which requires that each individual county request and apply for the Stamp Program, provided the availability of a sample area in southern Kentucky where five contiguous counties existed, three of which were participating in the program and two of which were not. This permitted both a control and experimental group from which to draw a sample.

At first glance this quote may seem to be taken from testimony given concerning the events at My-Lai or Song-My. Actually it is the testimony of an Indian warrior who was at the scene of the massacre at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, in 1890.

For we are ruled by Christ's love for us, now that we recognize that one man died for all men, which means that all men take part in his death. He died for all men so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but only for him who died and raised to life for their sake.

No longer, then, do we judge anyone by human standards. Even if at one time we judged Christ according to human standards, we no longer do so. When anyone is joined to Christ he is a new being: the old is …

The release without trial of eight Black Panthers after two years imprisonment; the concerted efforts of the Justice Department to confine the Berrigans and their colleagues; the massive, indiscriminatory arrests in Washington, D.C. of young people (as well as citizens trying to get to work) with an estimated 80 percent of these arrests illegal; the rigid defense of this government action by high officials - these and similar cases can be cited to raise concern over the heavy-handed pattern of law enforcement and government control that may corrode the foundations of a state, and ultimately shackle and destroy people.
