Paper presented at the International Seminar on The Role of Transnational Corporations in Namibia, Sheraton Washington Hotel, Washington, DC, November 29 - December 2, 1982. The paper says SUMOSSA (South Indiana United Methodists and Others in Support of Southern Africans) was organized in 1981 by a group of South Indiana United Methodists out of a conviction that the apartheid system is contrary to the gospel of Jesus Christ and out of the belief that Christians around the world must demonstrate the unity of the church in their rejection of apartheid. The paper reports on SUMOSSA activities including the Panty Project, a material aid effort to provide 35,000 panties for the women in Namibian refugee camps in Angola. This project was chosen after contacting the SWAP0 office in New York and the American Committee on Africa to determine needs. The memorandum says SUMOSSA also has an Investment Task Force and has been involved in other activities including holding two seminars on South Africa and Namibia.
