 NEW YORK, N.Y., Jan. 21 ---- The Rev. Dr. Joan
Brown Campbell, General Secretary of the National
Council of Churches, today expressed her thanks to
all who have expressed their concern and prayers for

 Dr. Campbell was taken from Metropolitan A.M.E.
Church to George Washington Hospital, where she was
examined.  Doctors there determined that she had not
suffered a heart attack.  She was released and
encouraged to rest for the rest of the day Monday,
and that she was free to resume her normal
