Mar. 22 The Churches Aught To Bring Up Country-Men About Assistance For underdeveloped Countries The churches aught to use 20 percent of the means invested in the underdeveloped countries for bringing up their own country-men to understand that ot is not a matter of charity but of a structural change of the world economy. The Secretary General of the World Council of Churches, Doctor Eugene Carson Blake, referred to this pronouncement form a WCC-Conference when the Nordic Ecumenical to-conference ended in Stockholm. If the churches shall support a developing program it must foremost contribute justice, second contribute to build up men's self-esteem and third to contribute economic growth. This means more or less a reversal of the common developing programs, Dr. Blake ascertained. He admitted that WCC is fighting with growing economical troubles. The now added churches are generally poor. Besides the dominating contributions from churches in USA have been reduced the last time. Bishop Frithiof Birkeli, Norway, characterized the conference as historic, he thought it was natural that the first official meeting between the leaders of the Ecumenical World Organisations and the Nordic Church leaders was located in Sweden.
