Description
Bishop Armstrong, who had prominently opposed, inter alia, U.S. involvement in
Vietnam and the execution of Gary Gilmore, maintains that political activity has not lured the member churches of the National Council away from the "historic faith ... in perfect keeping with that which has gone before." One sample: JA: "We have to get into a discussion of who the barbarian is. How can we identify the barbarian?" WFB: "I can do that with lightning speed. It is the Soviet Union which fits every specification of the barbarian invented by the imagination of man."
