Dr. Lee questioned, "You ask how I broke out of that and wound up at Colgate Rochester C'olgate Rochester Theological College, Rochester, N. Y.? I tell you if I had the formula, I'd get it copyrighted and give everyone the cure to make sure they're not locked into the system.

"Living in a closed system you're undernourished, underdeveloped and less capable to function in the world we find ourselves in," he said. It was during a speech Rev. King For a while, the Rev. Dr. Lee worked as a troubleshooter for the Kennedy administration going into "hot spots." throughout the south to negotiate. For his work, he became known as "Mr. Human Relations" among the Black community, and he was presented with awards for his work. He also served as the vice president of a black university. 1 -- late or early at gave in Lee College that made the Rev. Dr. his life. 1959 19B0 Iea-bod- y During that speech. Rev.

Dr. Lee will never forget the church is supposed to be the light of the world in race relations, then it's been the taillight; the church will wait until sports, entertainment and industry solves the race problem and then step in and sanction what has been done; and finally that 11 a m. Sunday morning is the most segi gated hour in America. It was a disillusioning speech about the church. "I still thought the church was made up of freedom fighters," the Rev. Dr. Lee said. When Rev. King began to emerge as the leader of the civil rights movement, the Rev. Dr Lee was among Icon of Christ Portrays Him As Bishop Christ is portrayed in the vestments of a bishop of the Eastern Orthodox Church on the Royal Door, leading to altar at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 279 S. 300 West.

But even in those small communities, Dean Maxwell found people generally much more aware of world events than Americans are. When the news of the Mormon documents and the related bombings came out in the paper, he found much more concern among the British than he would have expected even in other areas of the United States. "They're much more aware of what's going on in the rest of the world than Americans are. Even in the Anglican Church, there is more awareness of events and how the rest of the world can affect events. "They have a much more immediate sense of Africa, for instance, he said. "I believe it probably goes back to a remnant of the empire." While in England, he found his ow n children became more interested in world events. One of the most rewarding aspects of the sabbatical for Dean Maxwell was getting reacquainted with the Anglican roots. He said the American Episcopal service basically followed the Anglican service and so found himself at home in church. He was intrigued by the ancient churches and the graveyards connected with them. For instance, the Maxwell family visited St. Martin's Church, built in 604. They also visited a country church, built on the remains of an ancient Roman church. The floor of that church was more than 2.000 years old. he said The parish graveyards were equally fascinating. In one cemetery, there were six tombstones, each with a statue of a knight laying on his side and leaning on one elbow, with a dog, laying by his side. Another grave featured the statue of a man and under the statue was a skeleton. "It's an emotional thing," to realize some of those churches are that old." said Dean Maxwell The trip was an educational experience for Dean Maxwell. He found there were much wider swings in political viewpoints in England and a much wider difference in viewpoints accepted within the Church of England. Politically, England has representation from every viewpoint from Marxism to those espousing a view. He said while he was there the Marxists in the Liverpool City government almost shut down the city, but members of the Labor Party ran them out. Within the Anglican Church there are parishes as conservative as any fundamentalist church in America as well as those which have a liberal view and those in between.

Reading everything I could get my hands on about Mormonism." If it seems strange to go to a small village in England to study a religion whose heart is in Salt Lake City, Dean Maxwell said he did it to get away from the phones at St. Mark's Cathedral and have a chance to work in quiet He feels as an Episcopalian in Utah, he has a unique opportunity to learn about the LDS Church. Not only should the information prove useful, hut he feels an obligation to share that knowledge with others He read everything Irom books critical of the LDS Church lo training manuals for LDS home teachers. His major concern in gathering materials to read was that much of what is would be written by prejudicial What he found was with a few exceptions, the books he read generally held an objective stance towards the LDS Church. He said most people in England have heard of the LDS Church, but they tend to associate it with polygamy or genealogy. "They assume everyone who lives in Salt Lake City is Mormon." Dean Maxwell said When he was introduced as the dean of the Cathedral in Salt Lake City, people would often inquire il it was the Mormon Cathedral He said there was more familiarity with Mormons among the clergy in England who are frequently asked to forward genealogy records Dean Maxwell spent his sabbatical in the village of Fordwell. 14 miles west ol Oxlord The village was so church leaders gathered to work church and race relations.
