Document. Lt.C. (Ret) USA ~ "Draft Registration: A Moral Challenge" ~ Article by Gordon in Pax Christi's paper THE WITNESS. A letter to the editor of THE WITNESS by John is included. ~ In light of Carter's second call for draft registration, Gordon reflects upon the church's recent pledge to provide counseling and support to those facing questions of military service. He says that although some churches have make steps, many have not made any. Gordon asserts that the church is failing in its responsibility to counsel on conscientious objection and the result is that young people face moral challenges when they are not fully aware of the implications. In the letter to the editor, John criticizes Gordon saying that only cowards fear registration for the draft, the U.S. is only defending itself against Russia, and that every CO he has met was dishonest. ~ THE WITNESS ~ 2/26--Gordon; 3/5--John ~ 8--Gordon; 2--John
