there is a reluctance to try something new, he said. But I feel this (secular advertising) will be a growing trend. Churches that are growing tend to be contemporary and not afraid to try something new. A car dealer, a department store, a church. A church? Holmeswood Baptist Church in Kansas City is running three 60-second spots on three non-Christian stations in the morning and evening rush hours what on-air personalities call drive time.

Though publicity campaigns jCl are nothing new for some denominations and religious nationwide findings show, that few individual congregations have ever used the secular airwaves, to recruit members. They do, however, routinely buy ads in newspapers and occasionally go on radio and TV to publicise special events at Easter or Christmas. Holmeswood, which will spend $10,000 this year on advertising, joins only 300 to 500 of the nations 150,000 churches putting out messages on secular television or radio, said Lyle E. Schaller of Naperville, 111., an authority on church life. About 60, 000.

Edgar Boyd, Bethel AME, S.F. Speaker INTERDENOMINATIONAL Ex-Haitian leader talks to Episcopalians GARDEN CITY, N.Y. The ousted Haitian president, the Rev. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a Roman Catholic priest, has begun discussions with the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island about becoming ah Episcopal priest The Long Island Catholic diocesan weekly reports that Aristide, who now lives in Washington, has discussed such a transfer recently with Long Island Episcopal Bishop Orris Walker and Episcopal Presiding Bishop Edmond L. Browning.

Aristide, ousted in a military coup a year ago, is still recognized by the United Nations and the United States as Haiti's president. He was expelled earlier from his Saleslan order because of Pope John' Paul IIs objections to priests involvement in politics. Long Island has a large Haitian community. Aristide, who has said his return to Haiti depends on action by the international community, was quoted as sayings in a recent interview, I am an ecumenical man. I am not the prisoner of any religious structure." Lutherans consider geographic realignment CHICAGO A proposal now under consideration by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America would realign its eight seminaries into three, four or five clusters, each with a particular specialty.

The clusters also would forge close ties with other institutions in their geographic areas under the proposal. Catholics appeal to Clinton for the unborn WASHINGTON The head of the Roman Catholic bishops' anti-abortion activities committee has appealed to President-elect dlinton to "exercise the same compassion -toward the unborn" that he pleaded for during the'campaign on behalf of the unemployed and the others disenfrancised. Cardinal John J. O'Connor of New York said in a statement it is the moral obligation" of elected officials to do everything in their power both to stop the slaughter of the innocents, and to stop mouthing platitudes asserting that anyone can morally exercise the 'choice to kill an unborn baby." Methodists send support to president-elect ST. SIMON'S ISLAND, Ga.

The' United Methodist Council of Bishops, recalling that Methodist pastors at the birth of the nation sent a message pledging loyalty to George Washington, promises pastoral support to President-elect Clinton. At their semiannual meeting here, the churchs bishops sent a message to Clinton, assuring him of their prayers for Gods guidance as he assumes his "awesome responsibility. We-exhort you: Bring the American people together in unity. Help them to become the good and gentle people they long to be. Inspire them with a vision of new possiblity.

Help them to rise to the promise of their heritage, the statement said. May the nation under your leadership be a beacon of hope to the world hope for freedom, for justice for all, for peace and prosperity."
