''I appreciated so much your teldng tbne to write me about the eonvocatlon programs scheduled
on 0U1' campus this year. I am sorry fo~ the problem this has raised but WfUlt to assure you
that BQthel seeks to bs true to its ev~l!w1 beritags and to enthrone Jesus Christ at the
heart of Its program. '
''1 am p-ateful that there are {:)!ople Bc&ttered all over America who mre deeply concerned that
Bethel remain firmly moored to the faith of its mUt.era. All of us Imow only too well the. tragic
toll that Satan bas taken !n Chr1sttan blgber education. \Ye know of scores of schools that once
were as evangelical and evangelwtio as Bethel but which lmve long since lost that empbas18 t
and we ~ameetly pray tbnt this shalt not happsn at cur school. CoDaequently; wherever I au I
am encow:a.g!ng fon~ to pray for Bethsl and its leadembip to this end and rejoice that there
nremany who share this concern with us. I am sure that your concern grows out of this
interest In the vJelfure of Bethel. Others hf.J.ve Dent me copies of Dr. Archer Weniger's
article !,3£Sl"ding tbs convocation speakers, Md 1 would lilte to bel!eve that his somewhat
sharp ct'"~k grows out of the smne Cbrist-l1kr3 spirit of Christian concern.
''The pI'Gblam. referred to, oo"'Jever t ~ out of two opposite points of view held by equally
cievO'J.t Chr!stbms toward our reatlOMhip with those witb whom we may Dot a;ree entirely.
It is true thnt both Dlr'. Weigle and Dr. King hnve been invited to appear in our convocation
progrnm tbis year. 1 am enclosl'lg two COpiClS of t~ complete programs including the mOrning
convocatIons M wen as th® even!ng ones. As you will note, theee cov~r a wide range of topicS
that 8.l'3 of inta~st to alert gmdenta em a.'lJ Christian campus today. Tho people who are being
broug.'rt to B3thel for the Vtl.JJ.'ious lsetul"3 aN being invited for some special, contribution that
they ctm rn.slts in a IJDI.rticulrur field and not because we sub8~rlbe to the total11:y of their vi$wpoints
in '3t9 arsa, mcluding their religiouS ooUefs. The over-all senes includes discussions·
of boolm. ooucation, nature, LIncoln.telsvision cr!ticiom, art, poetry and sCience. as well
ae 11109 ::elations Md Biblical translations. We do not even know'that all of these psople are
ChristfnM who lU."G coming. but \Y0 do kaOl'll that tliGY Mve made 81gn1ficant contributions in
spectalizad aN~B 'tbat Cbrist1sns ought to latOT; about If ,thtsy are to Stve hlteWpnt leadership
for Christ in our world. You VIm s. that in cur evening convocaUcm folder we fDdicate tlaat
the use of these people at BeUlel doss not meaD any subscription by Bethel to othar views they
may have. Dr. Khlg 1ms been 1nv1ted 'because he is today ("'1118 of tbe foremost leOOars 1n promoting
non-violent programs for mcrlal equality. This is a concern for every Cbristlan.. As
a matter of fact, the matters of social WGli.a1"8 constitute one ana where thsologica! differences
among Chrlsthms are less s4:n1fieant and where we find that many of us can work together '
to'MU'd a common objacth-e • • This doas not mtn1m:lze. our differenoaa but indicates that then
also exists some areas of agreement. III ,the· ease of DI'. Weigle, he has been invited because
next year will mark the 350th mmtvol'8f1l';y of the translation of the King James Version of the
Bible. \oV'bUe he has ooen identified with the Rev10ed standard Version; of course. 'he is also
one of the aclmoVlledged scholars of our day in hisfamiltarlty with the King James Version.
His basic talk will be a bJetorical apprfOaChto that version. Because we do 'not agree With
these men in all areas of their thought we ought Dot cut off listening to them hi such important
fields of concern for the sv8llooel1cal church today any more than we would take out of our
library all of the boo!(S with whose authors we disagree or refuse to handle in our bookstore
materials not always sympathetic to Bethel's point of view. As a matter of fact. one of the
-£-
finest places for dedicnted Chrlatmn young people to come in oonw,et with IDl:m and boolm lUte
these is on & Cflmpus where m.lert and oO.'.. . nm.ltted GvangeHc::d teachers \Can help to bulwarlt
their faitll while at the aame time franldy face opposing points of viewo However. I have heard
both of the addresoos Dr. Weigl~ Jmd Dr. King have boon invited to give and have felt that
they would btl appropriate and well rGCiBivtid ill any of. ow: BaiXist General Conference eburcoos.
"Dr. Wenipr bas not contacted Bethel dirWJ.y regarding the purposes and setting of the
convocation schedule. 1 only whlh that hG had written to me personally instead of extracting
these two minor activities out of the whol«i year's schedule to play them up as mddenoos of
apostasy at Bethel. If he ht1.d MkOO for a picture of the total program. he would bave !evnGCi
about the lecture by Fl'ml!t Gaabelein on Cbrlstian bigiler education; the sones of lectures by
John Wtillvocnl from the emremely fundamental Dalloo Theological Seminary; the appearance

Bethel. but. we dm-e not let this disturb us. We are to love them just the same and go on with

"We are astounded t.o learn that Bethel College and Seminary in St. Paul , the sole
educational institution of the Baptist General COJG.feI'ence (Swedish). would schedu.le Dr. Martin
Luther King on December 1 and then Dr. Luther A. Weigle as speaker on J3.l'1Ua1"Y 12 , IS61.
Dr. Weigle was chai:rman of the HSV transiation committee as weH as a form.er president of
the liberal Federal Council of Chu.rches in 1942. Dr. King , a brilliant Negro , is not only
regarded as one of the 1110St liberal graduates of Crozer Seminary, but one who has lent his
name and influence to communist front c~.uses. Dr. Weigle is identified with the following
pro- communist fronts . a.ccording to the ACCC folder , 'How Red is the Nee?'; Committee on
Willitarism in Educatiori; Coordinating Committee to Lift the Spanish Embargo; National
Religion and Labor Foundation; North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy; Slgner
of 'Wodel Tomorrow' poll; War Resister!s Leagu.e. 'l'ne pledl.ge for enrollm.ent in the Resister's
League: 11 declare it to 00 my intention never to. t81{e part in ""vaT, offensive or defensive,
international or civil , whether it be by baaring arms, m£k~ng; or handling m\,mi1tiolls t voluntarily
SUbSCioibing to war loans , or UGmg my labor for the pUll'pose of setting others free for war
service . '
"We wonder ho·w the nmclam.entruists in the Germral Conference will take this evidence
of penetration of pacifism, sociaUsm, modernism, and subversion in their cher ished
institution. Here is braze:i.1 open evidence of a drift in Bethel which many Christian leaders
h.3.ve be~m privately lamenting. Pray for a cancellation of these two speakers."

as a Liberal Arts College 0
There was a motion that we cemmend President Eundquist oa this letter 0

'flo We are not convinced-; that the charges made against Iing and Weigle are
valid'"
20When the committee invited King and Weigle nQ member was aware of the fact
that there CQuld be such charges 0
l~The committe does not have the time nor the facilities for an investigationo
40As a Liberal Arts College we have the responsibili*,. to pronde a stimulatin,

cannot avoid 0
6.We haTe a responsibility to the men whom we have invited 0
The following motion was passed :: That we carry out our programs using King and
