Ay Mtd ud '6d 't3 'Adsa mq m)ujHCJ By Pamela Schaeffer 01 th Post-Dispatch Staff Archbishop John L. May's warm welcome Wednesday to Dominican priests heading the Aquinas Institute of Theology may signal a new era of thawed relations between the St. Louis Roman Catholic Archdiocese and St. Louis University, some observers say.

The Aquinas Institute, which offers graduate-level training in theology to men and women, including Dominicans preparing for the priesthood, will move in July to St. Louis from Dubuque, Iowa. The institute, which currently has 12 faculty members and approximately 100 students, will retain its autonomy while sharing the university's resources and leasing space in the Davis-Shaughnessy Annex, 3642 Lindell Boulevard. "I am here to welcome the Dominicans and to celebrate an auspicious beginning of what we hope will be a great new work in theological education," May said at a Wednesday news conference at the university. Dominicans noted that May had "strongly encouraged" the institute's move here, and university officials said privately that May's interest may be a harbinger of closer cooperation.

Relationships between the archdiocese and the Jesuit university were often strained during Cardinal John J. Carberry's 12 years as archbishop here. Carberry's leadership ended with May's arrival here last spring. May said he was unaware of past disputes. Asked if he expected closer ties between the university and Kenrick Seminary, which trains archdiocesan candidates for the priesthood, he said, "I presume that all institutions of higher studies, Kenrick, as well as Cardinal Glennon College, will be cooperating closely." The Rev.

John F. Taylor OP said he believed the institute's experience in working closely with Presbyterian and Lutheran seminaries in Dubuque would be valuable to all St. Louis theological institutions, which also Include Eden Seminary, Concordia Seminary, Christ Seminary-Seminex and Covenant Theological Seminary. Aquinas Institute students share faculty and living quarters with Presbyterian seminarians in Dubuque. Past tensions on theology training between archdiocesan and university officials date to a 1969 incident when Carberry objected to Catholic seminarians being taught by a Presbyterian biblical scholar at the university.

About 60 third-and fourth-year Kenrick seminarians were then studying at the St. Louis University Divinity School. In 1970 the Kenrick faculty produced a scathing criticism of the Divinity 'iniiri Tiirririiiniii i ni lit 1 'lAtQ Ay 310008 Scotch Brand Videocassettes Minister Urges Improved Christian-Moslem Ties SCOTCH T-1 20 VIDEO CASSETTES $15.50 SH9 53, 1 Less Credit on next Scotch Purchase Your effective cost 13.00 Now you can buy the leading brand of video cassette tape and receive direct from Scotch a check for $2.50, good toward your next purchase of Scotch video tape.

Peter G. Gowing on Islam and Christianity. "Our mission is not to Moslems, but to the hatred that exists between Christians and Moslems," said the United Church of Christ minister who has for 20 years been a missionary to the Philippines. Gowing and Dale L. Bishop, who heads the Near East office for the United Church of Christ, led a two-day conference on Christian-Moslem relations this week at Eden Theological Seminary, 475 East Lockwood Avenue, Webster Groves.

"There is a mutually negative image among Christians and Moslems that is spiritually and politically unwholesome," Gowing said. He said also that American Christians should avoid the trap they have fallen into in regard to Communism viewing Islam as a monolithic system intent on our destruction. cassettes allow recording up to six full hours on most VHS recorders and the new high-density oxide formula assures quality recordings in the long-play modes. Another great buy from the video leader! School's "academic deficiencies" that resulted in Carberry's withdrawal of seminarians. The Divinity School was closed in 197S.

May noted that programs at Kenrick, which offers advanced theological training to candidates for the priesthood from St. Louis and surrounding dioceses, are being evaluated with an eye to cost-cutting by additional sharing of faculty and resources with other institutions. As a result of his study of Kenrick programs, May recently announced that fourth-year students no longer would be expected to combine parish work with studies. He said students' juggling of parish work and studies had "squeezed" fourth-year academics. "We don't want to weaken academic or spiritual formation," he said, adding that postponing the ordination of candidates to allow more than two summers for parish work was a future possibility.

The Wednesday conference also was attended by the Rev. Thomas R. Fitzgerald SJ, St. Louis University president; Laurence J. O'Connell, chairman of the university's theology department; the Rev.

Damian Fandal OP, superior of the Dominican's Midwestern Province; and the Rev. David Wright OP, academic dean of the Aquinas Institute. create better understanding, Gowing said. "They fear invitations to dialogue are really attempts to create an environment conducive to conversion." Gowing heads the Dansalan Research Center, which seeks to ease tensions in the southern Philippines, where age-old frictions between Christians and Moslems have set the scene for the clashes of the last decade. Bishop spent six years at Columbia University as assistant professor of Middle Eastern languages and cultures before assuming his current duties for the United Church of Christ.

LOUIS mm AREA Attend the 'USX wSk Church Islam is in the midsl of a great renewal and is in a state of flux, he said. "It is not a monolithic power, but is very diverse. To take the current Iranian situation and arrive at general conclusions about Islam will not help us in future relations with Moslem countries." Dialogue between Christians and Moslems has been growing at all levels, he noted, adding, "If Christians and Moslems are enemies, both are behaving in a manner that is outside the beliefs of their religion." In the past, Christians and Moslems have judged one another by the worst of their actions, he said. Gowing cited escalating animosities in the Philippines, where 44 percent of the 47 million people are Moslems and 92 percent are Christians almost the reverse of percentages in the Middle East, where Christians are the minority group. In the Philippines, Moslems say you can never trust a Christian and are very suspicious of Christian attempts to restraint, Graham joined a growing list bof prominent evangelicals who oppose the new surge of political activism by fundamentalists.

The meeting here this week of the National Religious Broadcasters and the National Association of Evangelicals, far from being a unity rally, became a forum for a broad debate over the meaning and purpose of evangelical Christianity. Many moderates appear to resent the perception that all evangelicals are in the conservative political mold. They are speaking out and making their presence felt. Although the programs led by the television preachers caused the most stir here, other perspectives were represented by Ron Sider, a professor at Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and other figures who conducted seminars on such matters as justice for the poor. Sojourners Magazine, which espouses the views of many liberal and self-described radical evangelicals, has published a strong assault on conservative activists, whom the magazine's editor, James Wallis, called "evangelical nationalists." Urging evangelicals to fight for economic and racial justice, Wallis wrote, "The evangelical nationalists will not go unchallenged.

The resistance will not simply be from 'Godless secular as they frequently describe their opponents, but from their fellow evangelical Christians whose public dissent to their agenda is rooted firmly in the Gospel." about offering any of them," said the Rev. Cecil Sherman, president of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina and a leader of the moderate faction. Smith, pastor of First Southern Baptist Church of Del City, drew national attention as a leader of the conservative forces in the Baptist battle over the Bible and how it should be read and interpreted. Sherman said moderates will meet "sometime in February, someplace in Texas" to determine their strategy for the 1981 General Convention in Los Angeles. MATTRESS MAN FURNITURE CO.

Billy Graham, in an appearance here before 1,500 evangelical Christians, spoke out Wednesday night about the threat of a renewed arms race and warned about the "dangers" of television evangelism. The silver-haired evangelist, who as inducted into the National eligious Broadcasters' Hall of Fame at the gathering, said there were many problems "which demand our attention as Christians," including the arms race.

"It is a complex issue, and I do not believe in unilateral disarmament," he said at a banquet. "But how can we be indifferent to the millions and millions who live on the brink of starvation each year, while the nations of the world spend $550 billion each year on weapons?" Although he hailed a revival in evangelism, Graham cited several "dangers within the movement to spread the Gospel through television and radio. Among the pitfalls he listed were excessive pride, reliance on worldly methods" to sustain broadcasts, infatuation with success and preoccupation with "perpetuating organization." "We dare not sit around patting ourselves on the back when the world's despair without Christ is becoming increasingly evident around us," Graham said. In counseling moderation and HOURS: Mon. Fri.
