Santa Cruz Sentinel Saturday, March 28, 1992 D-3 China's economic boon Church happenings helps religion ernment oversight. "The government is not happy with them," McCarrick said. "Many of their leaders are in prison." But he said the "underground" churches also are growing, despite harassment. He said if the Chinese continue to reform the economy, the present indications are it will result in increased freedom of conscience. A hopeful sign was seen in meetings held in January by the Communist Party Secretary General Jing Zemin with leaders of all five officially recognized religious groups Muslims, Buddhists, Catholic, Taoist and Protestant.

The Rev. Carl E. Flemister, regional minister of the American Baptist Churches of metropolitan New York, said that "along with the vitality of the churches," he noticed an increased number of younger leaders.

School Administrator phasis on economic growth and maintaining its stability has resulted in a "pragmatic approach" of "greater responsiveness to all religions." They're all growing, he and two other members of the delegation told a news conference. Roman Catholic Theodore E. McCarrick of Newark, N.J., said that despite sporadic difficulties, "religion is developing in China," with a "new spirit of growth" and "new progress." Although Asia Watch, a Washington-based human-rights monitoring agency, recently reported tightening controls over religion in China, foundation delegates said that tendency seemed to be easing. Also, the government interference was described as directed mainly at the unregistered "house churches" of which there reportedly are thousands.

Moreover, both sectors religion and the economy seem on the upgrade there. These impressions were brought back last week from a 12-day visit in China by a delegation of the in-terfaith Appeal of Conscience Foundation.
