A PLACE FOR PRAYER

The following quote is from a letter written by Alfred Bader in his autobiography, Adventures Of A Chemist Collector, (Little, Brown).

"I am greatly bothered by the entire problem of State and Religion. No doubt, the Church - whether Catholic or Protestant - has brought great unhappiness to our People over the centuries and yet, a world without churches is no better place. We are creating a secular, materialistic, permissive society, which has not enhanced the general feeling of brotherhood and mutual understanding that we look for.

I sometimes feel therefore that (public) Christian prayer in a Christian land is not quite as detrimental as people think, and I have felt uncomfortable with some of the extreme positions taken by the American Jewish Congress."
