  Communist Background of the National Council of

  dangerous. One of the primary sponsors of this          and Etherzone
  "action" was the National Council of Churches.
  Given the agenda of the march, and that, in           ------------------

  underpinnings of the NCC.
                                                          Sierra Times
  Dr. Harry F. Ward, known as the "Red Dean" of          Editorial Page
  the Union Theological Seminary, was a leader in
  the founding of the Federal Council of                ------------------
  Churches, the forerunner to the NCC. In a
  career spanning 40 years, Ward influenced
  hundreds of Protestant ministers and leaders to
  philosophical, if not outright Communism. There
  were few Communist fronts in which Ward was not
  involved. Ward stated on a radio broadcast, May
  21, 1946, that "The Soviet Union is progressing
  and growing up economically and
  politicallyàwhile Capitalist society is
  starving and going down".

  HCUA staff director Richard Arens testified on
  Feb. 25, 1960 concerning the NCC as follows:

  Thus far, of the National Council of Churches
  of Christ in America, we have found over 100
  persons in leadership capacity with either
  Communist-front records or records of service
  to Communist causes. The aggregate affiliations
  of the leadership, instead of being in the
  hundreds as first indicated, is now, according
  to the latest count, into the thousands, and we
  have yet to complete our check, which would
  certainly suggestàthat there is infiltration of
  fellow travelers in churches and educational
  institutions is a complete understatement.

  The chairman of these hearings, Francis Walter
  (D-PA) pointed out that:

  This is not to say that these persons are
  necessarily consciously supporting Communist
  enterprises, but the net result is, for all
  practical purposes, the same.

  Dr. Walter Rauschenbusch, in 1893, wrote that
  "the only power that can make socialism
  succeedàis religion. It cannot work in an
  irreligious country". Rauschenbusch saw
  Socialism as the goal with religion serving as
  a vehicle toward that goal, a means to an end.
  Rauschenbusch was referred to by FCC president
  Dr. A.W.Beavan as "the greatest single
  influence on the life and thought of the
  American Church in the last 50 years".

  Former American Communist official Manning
  Johnson, in Congressional testimony, stated
  that "once the tactic of infiltrating religious
  organizations was set by the Kremlin,
  implementing the new line (would require)
  Communist agents in the seminaries and divinity
  schools. A small Communist minority (would)
  influence the ideology of future clergymen in
  the paths most conducive to Communist
  purposes". Manning Johnson, a former Negro
  Communist, died shortly after his fascinating
  testimony, definitely a subject for future
  research.

  The destruction wrought by this Communist
  influence in the American church is two fold.
  What we have is an organized attempt, conscious
  or otherwise, to subvert American institutions
  and our culture with ideas that are
  antithetical to our American way of life. We
  also have a deliberate watering down of
  mainstream American Protestantism that has               Articles &
  traditionally served as a moral force for good.          Editorials
  This infiltration has become internalized over
  the decades, particularly since the demise of        We receive numerous
  the Soviet Union. With true believers in             requests to forward
  philosophical Communism in groups like the NCC,         Sierra Times
  there is no longer a need for an external               articles and
  "party line".                                        editorials to other
