Future Looks Bright To Church Officials
By JACK LELAND Evening Post Staff Writer
The ordination Thursday of a bishop-elect for the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina comes at a time when local diocesan and national church leaders are optimistic over the future of the church.
That was the consensus of the Rt. Rev. John M. Allin, presiding bishop; the Rt. Rev. Gray Temple, diocesan bishop; and the Rev. Dr. C. FitzSimons Allison, bishop-elect.
Dr. Allison will be ordained as bishop coadjutor in traditional Anglican ceremonies at 11 a.m. Thursday at Gaillard Auditorium. He will succeed Bishop Temple when the latter retires.
Bishop Allin, at a press conference today, said, in answer to a question concerning problems of the church, “Certainly there are problems but there always have been problems. The basic problems are those of human beings. The church’s mission is to all sorts and conditions of human beings. We have good news to proclaim and that proclamation is not simply of words, but in deeds. There has been a great stirring of the Holy Spirit in the whole Christian Church and that is as it should be. We compete but we compete against the devil and not each other.”
Bishop Temple, who will report on the state of the diocese at the annual convention here Friday, said, "I am quite happy with the situation. We have strong structure and committed churchmen and we are assured of a…

Upper right fragments (cropped column tops from the same newspaper page):
A truncated Lech Walesa / Solidarity paragraph from another article on the same newspaper page:
…ers today as the strike hero arrived to register his independent, nationwide labor federation with the Warsaw district court. The court has already objected to one of the applications received from other labor groups.
“I feel victorious,” Walesa told The Associated Press in an interview minutes before his arrival at the courthouse. “But I believed from the first day we went on strike that we would be victorious.”
Walesa, who arrived in Warsaw by train from Gdansk late Tuesday, reached the courthouse moments before the registration office was to have closed.
He had been expected earlier, but last-minute organizing details delayed him. The eleventh-hour work included final negotiations with various independent organizing committees that wanted to register as branches of Walesa’s organization, known as “Solidarity.”
A second fragment headed:
Billy To Give Deposition
WASHINGTON (AP) — Billy Carter dismissed as “ridiculous” today a suggestion that he made a flurry of telephone calls intended to capitalize on a meeting President Carter held the same day in December with a Libyan official.
The president’s brother made the comment as he arrived at the Capitol to give a deposition to lawyers from a special Senate investigating subcommittee, primarily on conflicts between his testimony and that of a Justice Department official regarding Billy’s Libyan activities.
Meanwhile, the subcommittee called a private meeting to decide whether to question the president on the Billy Carter affair and, if so, where and how to conduct the questioning.
Billy Carter did not deny to reporters that he made a number of telephone calls to the Libyan embassy and the White House on Dec. 9.

A composite of overlapping newspaper clippings pasted to the page. The central clipping is a feature ‘Future Looks Bright To Church Officials’ by Jack Leland (Evening Post staff writer), accompanied at the lower left by a captioned black-and-white photograph of three Episcopal bishops in conversation. The headline reads in two lines, ‘Future Looks Bright / To Church Officials’. To the upper right are fragments of unrelated columns including a Lech Walesa / Solidarity story, ‘Billy To Give Deposition,’ ‘Expense Cuts Considered,’ and a ‘Plants Suit’ fragment about a Sierra Club lawsuit over Canadys Station and Williams Station coal plants under the Clean Air Act, all from the same newspaper page (Evening Post, Charleston SC). The Carter-administration date and Walesa’s October 1980 registration of Solidarity place the page around late 1980.
The “Plants / Suit” headline belongs to a clipped fragment running vertically up the right side of the photograph; the body text on this fragment refers to “the Sierra Club’s charges” against the “Williams Station plant” and “Canadys Station plant,” “clean air standards,” “the Environmental Protection Agency,” “regarding visible emissions,” and a citizen suit — i.e. an early-1980s Clean Air Act citizen-suit story involving two South Carolina (SCE&G) coal-fired plants. Most of the body text is trimmed away.
