Book excerpt: Governor Kean welcomes the Council of Bishops to Drew Universitiy, the home of one of the First Methodist seminaries. The Governor speaks about John Wesley, Francis Asbury and the early circuit preachers, as men of courage. He continues with stating that the Methodist continues in that vein with their courageous stand against the spread of nuclear arms and apartheid. The Methodist Church has a history of translating God's message of Love into compassionate action, according to Governor Kean. He believed that "a partnership between all concerned American, between government and between churches, synagogues and private charities" was needed to provide essential social and emotional welfare for everyone who is suffering. He told his audience that "public solutions will not work without the cooperation of the private community." Governor Kean also mentions that whatever funds are collected by the United Methodist Committee on Relief are 100% faithfully used for relief, citing an example of relief for Passaic fire victims.
