When three Michigan school teachers discovered the National Education Association was using their membership dues to support causes that had nothing to do with education, they protested by refusing to pay. Although not antiunion, they claimed the NEA was forcing them to violate their religious beliefs by supporting proabortion causes and a Marxist regime in Nicaragua. To retaliate, the NEA urged the Almost Michigan school board to fire them—but later withdrew the demand—and insisted on a ruling from the Equal Employment OpIportunity Commission. After a three-year battle against the NEA, the three teachers won a victory that may well have national repercus-

Clergy women form group for advocacy, support

sions. The EEOC ruled that the three do not have to pay union NEA dues because of their religious convictions. This victory was long time coming, but they were persistent in their efforts. The three who are members of the Assemblies of God, Catholic and fundamentalist churches first joined forces in 1984 to protest the paying of NEA dues. The threesome exclaims, ‘‘We are not ami-union. We believe in collective bargaining. We do not believe in the benevolence of the employer. But what they (NEA) are doing is not collective bargaining.” All three oppose what they believe are anti-Christian activities of the liberal teacher’s union. “What business does the union have being involved with abortion and homosexual rights and legalizing marijuana and supporting a Marxist government in Nicaragua?, they inquired. The teachers feel that it’s OK for NEA officials to promote these causes as individuals, but they should not be in the battle collectively as a union.

FREEPORT, Bahamas (UMNS)— The end result of the first-ever churchwide gathering of black United Methodist clergywomen here Nov. 15-17 was the establishment of a formal advocacy and support group, to be related to the denomination’s black caucus. Amid hugs, tears, reunions, and exchange of stories of challenges overcome, 125 participants overwhelmingly voted to form a churchwide network for the denomination’s black clergywomen, to be convened in March in Chicago by retired United Methodist Bishop Leontine T.C. Kelly. Regional groups elected 10 women to a steering committee to create the new advocacy organization. The network will seek affiliation with Black Methodists for Church Renewal. Major emphases will be establishing a newsletter, strengthening ties with black female ministers in. Africa and the Caribbean, increasing visibility at every level of the denomination’s structure, and political advocacy in church and community arenas for black clergywomen and the communities they serve. The meeting originally was to be held in Montego Bay, Jamaica, but was changed because of damage done to the Jamaica meeting site by Hurricane Gilbert in September. The Rev. Althea Spencer-Miller, a Jamaican clergywoman, gave an update of recovery efforts on her island, and participants donated $2,100 for the Elsie Beaman Home for Girls, a Methodist-supported school that sustained damage. The global dimension of the meeting was apparent, with three

seminarians from Africa, Ms. Spencer Miller of Jamaica and Bahamian churchwomen rounding out a mix of local church pastors; prison chaplains; and college, seminary and church agency staffers from across the denomination. The Rev. Angelin Simmons, a planning team chairwoman and a pastor in Moncks Corner, S.C., said despite biases against female ministers that still grip conservative black churches, clergywomen are committed to fulfilling the needs of their congregations. “In the black church, the pastor is expected to be everything—pastor, janitor, social worker, political activist. When black people are in trouble, especially poor blacks, they call the pastor before they call the lawyer.” In a “state of black clergywomen” address, the Rev. Velma Smith, Chattanooga, Tenn., called her colleagues “human dynamos.” Recounting recent strides, among them the 1984 election of Bishop Kelly as the first African-American female bishop in the denomination and in mainline Christendom. Ms. Smith warned her colleagues against being drawn into internal power struggles, telling them instead to “work together, with our black brothers, with the people in our congregations and with each other as sisters.” Hailing her colleagues in ministry for their perseverance and commitment, Ms. Smith added, “We have revolutionized ministry. The church needs our opinions, opr viewpoints and our presence. We’re going to make it. God hasn’t brought us this far to leave us.”
