its inability to shatter the voodooof racial witchcraft in this country....Thisis the first time this kind of consensus everreally moved in the land.In the early partof the last century there was a consensusamong religions about race—a consensusof indifference.Then came the wrackingspasms of racial heresy,biblical distortion,sectional estrangement and moody hypocrisy.Now,the religious men have

really change directions,and that's whythe ladies got stuck with the familiar saying\"It'sa woman's privilege to change her mind.”Well,and what does all this lead up to...?Simplythat I have changed my mind and given you an-other two-months issue.A double issue is easierto put together and saves quite a bit of postage.Fortunately for you,it also offers you a greatervariety of topics.  \nThe leading article in this issue is CardinalMeyer's address at the first National Conferenceon Religion and Race.Twenty-four Catholicbishops and one Cardinal attended the meetings,a fact which eloquently expressed the importanceof religious initiative in bringing about a muchneeded social change in America.The inspira-tion of the Church’s ecumenical renewal underPope John greatly facilitated the interreligiouscooperation.“The problems that confront us inour great cities,\"said His Eminence,\"are toomanifold and too deep-rooted in human passionsand misunderstandings for any of our great reli-giious bodies to deal with alone.”  \nExactly_one month later,on February 17,theNational Federation of Catholic College studentsand the Third Order of St.Francis jointly spon-sored a Forum at Manhattanville College,Pur-chase,N.Y.,to promote interracial understand-ing.One of the the speakers at the Forum wasRabbi Marc H.Tanenbaum of the AmericanJewish Committee who had played a leading roleat the Chicago Conference.Rabbi Tanenbaumassailed the hypocrisy of many Americans“whoenjoy but probably do not merit the consolationof calling themselves 'believers'in God”:\"Thedaily
