Description:
The Free Church arranged a festival on April 11-12 as part of the New Seminary Movement at Pacific School of Religion. The
exorcism began at the Free Church, stopped by UC-Berkeley to exorcise Sproul Hall, then proceeded to the seminaries on Holy
Hill where the marchers shouted "power to the people--out demons out." The rite was based on the exorcism of the Pentagon
that York and the Fugs conducted the previous October. The most dramatic form of liberation is exorcism, according to Leander
Keck, "The Son Who Creates Freedom," In Jesus Christ and Human Freedom, ed. Edward Schillebeeckx and Bas van Iersel, New York,
Herder and Herder, 1974, p 78.
