South African anti-apartheid religious leaders ended an emergency conference with a call for intensified nonviolent resistance to the government. They also backed a three-day trade union anti-apartheid protest to be held next week. Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu acknowledged that there were deep divisions among the clergy members and said he was disappointed that they could not agree on stronger action. The meeting in the black township of Soweto was attended by about 200 Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Jewish leaders.
