The late Reverend William Howard Melish, Dean Street resident and activist priest who died at his home on June 15, was remembered by families and friends at a Memorial Eucharist service on June 28 at St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church. He was honored for what one person called %u201chis unfaltering dedication to civil rights, world peace and community service.%u201dMelish, whose political views resulted in his removal as assistant rector of the Holy Trinity Church in 1957 (since merged into St. Ann%u2019s and the Holy Trinity Church) spent a lifetime devoted to fostering peaceful coexistence between the Cold War nations, and actively worked toward civil rights.In 1955, Melish was presented its International Peace Prize by the World Peace Council and after leaving Holy Trinity Church he became an active participant in the civil rights movement, raising money for the Southern Conference Educational Fund, the first integrated civil rights organization in the South. In 1969 he was named rector of Grace Church in Corona, Queens, a position he held for ten years. In 1982, he rejoined his old Brooklyn parish as assistant priest at the invitation of the Reverend William Persell.%u201cWilliam Howard Melish was a peacemaker and although he was engulfed in controversy and conflict and met with suspicion, hate and distrust by those who disagreed with his work, he remained faithful to his central convictions and vision,%u201d Persell told the 700 people who gathered in the church last Saturday morning. Over the course of the service, parishioners sang hymns that had been favorites of Melish over the years. %u201cWe listen to the music that speaks of his beliefs. We listen and we come closer to the spirit of his faith,%u201d Persell said.Melish had been honored just weeks before his death, as friends and former parishioners and people %u2014 young and old %u2014 who had been touched by Melish in their own lives, joined in a special service at St. Ann%u2019s on May 25 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. Melish had actually been born in the rectory of the former Holy Trinity Church around the corner on Pierrepont Street and was the third generation of his family to be ordained.The event also celebrated the vindication of a man whose goals in his personal life and church had touched thousands of people including NAACP founder W.E.B. DuBois and activist Angela Davis, as well as Brooklyn youth who came under the guidance of Melish and his wife Mary Jane. Now adult, some of those teenagers returned that day to pay tribute to Melish and his wife.The anniversary event brought out many people who remembered the fateful years in the Fifties when the Bishop of Long Island, James P. DeWolf, closed the Holy Trinity Church. Melish, at that time serving as assistant rector to his father, the late Reverend John Howard Melish, was removed from his position at the end of a bitter legal battle that focused on his involvement with the National Council for American-Soviet Friendship, a group heformed in 1943 to promote friendship between the two countries. The group had landed on Senator McCarthy%u2019s list of alleged Communist organizations. The church was closed after the events.The May 25 anniversary service was a time to celebrate the vindication of Melish%u2019s past and honor him for convictions and beliefs that never faltered before criticism and to pay tribute to him as a model for the future.It was this vision of the future that was reflected in the testimonies to his life during the memorial service, in the words of one speaker, a future in which Melish and his work will continue to live on in spirit and in example. %u201cThe struggle continues as long as women and gays feel oppressed in their expression of humanity. The struggle conHe had a hope and vision ofbringing people together. He wasbefore his time and yet hepersisted and insisted and hisvision was correct.tinues as long as the major powers of the world do not support the desire of weaker nations to be free. The struggle continues on in South Africa, in the Philippines, Nicaragua, the Middle East and Afghanistan and the struggle continues in Brooklyn,%u201d Persell said at the memorial service last weekend. The struggle, he pointed out, would continue with a strong example to stand as precedent.%u201cHe had a hope and vision of bringing people together. He was before his time and yet he persisted and insisted and his vision was correct,%u201d said his son, Dr. John Melish, addressing the congregation. %u201cMy mother and father loved living and he saw growth and strength to be obtained by facing obstacles. He showed that our lives extend beyond ourselves and we can proudly rejoice that he lived.%u201dAfter the ceremony more than 300 people joined the family at a reception, where a long line of friends waited to greet Mary Jane Melish. %u201cIf there is such a thing as pure Christians then they are pure Christians,%u201d long-time friend, Rose Thaler, said. %u201cHe stood for so many beautiful principles and they have never altered their feelings of what a true democracy means.%u201d Their influence is tremendous.%u201dA newer member to the parish echoed those sentiments. %u201cThere are those of us who take courage from their example and it will always be an example. He gave me a lot of hope and inspiration,%u201d Boerum Hill resident Jaki Williams says. %u201cHe kept and kept on. He kept on until his last breath,%u201d she added.The family requests that those wishing to make memorial contributions give to St. and the Holy Trinity Church for the restoration of a window in thanksgiving for the ministries of Dr. John Howard Melish and Rev. William Howard Melish. Others may make contributions to the National Council of American/Soviet Friendship, Inc. 85 E. 4th Street, New York, 10003.Slope Shelter Advisory Committee Seeks CapOn The Number Of Homeless At The ArmoryAn advisory committee organized in Park Slope by Community Board Six has been meeting weekly to address issues arising from the presence of the 70-bed shelter for homeless men at the 14th Street Armory.At last week%u2019s meeting, June 25, the committee agreed to mail an information flyer to neighborhood residents announcing the shelter and explaining what to do if any disturbances occur. The committee has also agreed to set aside a portion of the first meeting of each month for community members to come and voice any of their concerns.The advisory committee was formed after the City%u2019s Human Resources Administration began using a portion of the State armory as a shelter. Most of the residents are transient men bused in daily from Manhattan. A third of the residents live at the shelter permanentl v T h o P n m m j f t o o u m u l r l l i l r o t n c o o a n u nplaced on the number of homeless men HRA assigns to the armory. Some community residents fear that the present number could be substantially expanded to over 200 if theCity does not agree to a limitation.The committee and a group of elected officials have written to Governor Cuomo urging him to limit the number housed in the shelter. Eric Friedman, an aide to Councilman Stephen DiBrienza, said that the State claims it has no plans to allow the City to use more armory space as a shelter for the homeless and that HRA had not formally made such a request. %u201cBased on the way HRA handles things, city council members are the last people HRA would tell such plans to,%u201d said Friedman.For the immediate future, the committee is trying to look at ways it can help the shelter. According to Selma Abramowitz, a member of the committee, two of the main needs are subway tokens and milk.%u201cIt seems that some of the men have jobs and have to leave before breakfast,%u201d shef fl%u00bbrn * I 'P L n K i r f r t n o l n m n k l n m n n n n o wn k n 4U n W%u201c JI * %u201c v M%u20180 0 V'UI1 |/%u00bb WW%u00abV4%u00bb W W MV VilVbureaucracy.%u201dThe advisory group meets on Wednesdays at 6:30pm, at the armory.
