Some Clergymen Speaking Out
Against Religion Draft Deferments
NEW YORK (AP) — Some
clergymen, contending that it’s
vital for them to confront the
"SWW'teugfc'deeistaw tfitorts jected,
their people, disapprove of min-
isters being exempt from the
- military draft.
It shields them from having
to face realistically “one of the
most agonizing problems” that
others have to go through, says
the Rev. Peter T. Riga? a Cath-
olic theologian of St. Mary’s
College Calif.

shadow over the clergy’s guid-
ance on that issue-since they
don’t actually have to ex-
perience it.
Nevertheless,exempting them
from conscription is a long-
time practice in this coun-
try, as well as in most Western
cultures, and churches general
ly have accepted it unquestion-
ingly.
Consequently, challenging it,
as some clergymen do occa-
sionally, touches a sensitive
zone.
—■ Ministers ought to get out of
their "privileged position” of
being immune from the draft,
the Rev. Dr. David G. Colwell,
a United Church pastor of
Seattle, Wash., once told a
church convention, stirring
shpeked reactions.
But when delegates could
come up with no satisfying re-
buttal, they finally voted to put
the North American Council of
the World Alliance of Reformed
and Presbyterian Churches on
record’ against clergy ex-
epiptions-a rare stand among
church bodies. . I

cized as infringing on the
American tradition of separa-
tion of church and state.
It is "preferential treatment
to a group because it is a reli-
gious group and it is therefore
unconstitutional,” Father Riga
writes in the national JeShit
weekly, America. "If we must
have a draft, it must be as
equitable as humanly possible.

grounds, a main question fo-
cuses on whether clergymen, in
being free of the draft, can deal
authentically with that issue,
and identify validly with others
actually subject to it.
the church’s witness for
peace is weakened because its
ministers do not have to come
directly to terms with the prob-
lem of taking part in war,”
says the Rev. Richard J. Neu-
haus, a Lutheran, of Brooklyn.
He adds in an article in the
lUtheran forum flat a pastor
who had to make~van hones”
decision about military partici-
pation is better equipped to
give counsel to young then fac-
ing the problem."
Under the nation’s present
draft law, pacifists with con-
scientious objections to all war
are exempt. But clergymen, un-
like others, are exempt what-
ever their views. .

this harbor at Hong Kong. Actually, with this city's population of more than four
million and available land at a premium, some of the residents spill over onto the

are said never to go ashore in a lifetime.
