ROANOKE, Va.- (ANP) - The general council of the Episcopal diocese Of southwestern Virginia set up a 19-man commission last week to study a proposal to integrate the races at the annual summer Hemlock Haven lodge youth conference.
The commission was established because clergy and lay delegates could not come to an agreement, after two days of debate, or whether segregation is morally wrong. Clergymen refused to ac- cept any proposal involving seg- regation and a majority of the lay delegates balked at "unrestricted" integration.
No decision on the problem is expected in time for this year's youth conferences sessions.
