After being introduced to
the court Rev. Francis out-
lined his priorities for the

he is particularly interested
in.

North St. United Church,
Goderich on April 24.

Rev. William Moore, St.

Mrs. Eglisson also pointed
out that the person in the

thinking about the ministry
of women, referring to the
larger number of women now
in theological schools.
Sixty-five per cent of Lon-
don Conference churches
have declining memberships
stated Rev. Morley Clarke a
Conference staff officer. The
problem was the basis of
a study during a three-month
sabbatical. He told of visiting
four churches which are
reversing that trend.

Rev. Stanley McDonald will

United Church on May 16

Crediton and Richard
Hawley, student supply, at
Auburn, Rev. Percy Brown,
retired, Kirkton, has trans-
ferred to Toronto Presbytery.,
Making people aware of
their feelings as group
decisions are made was
'llustrated by the role play-
tng method staged by the
Division of Communications,
under Rev. Wilena Brown,
Bluevale.
The first presentation indi-
cated the result of an auto-
cratic decision, the second
the passive attitude of the
chairman and the third a
thorough discussion in which
the membership's views arc
drawn out and a democratic
decision reached.
Mrs. Doris Zurbrigg,
Listowel, repOrted that 350
women attended the UCW

speaking people take place
within the context of a united
Canada.
- It was indicated that Con-
ference was to be asked to
urge congregations to study
the theme -- Land Use-
ownership a privilege not a
right. Huron-Perth commit-
tees have made a significant
contribution in this area.
Rev. Bruce Eaton in his
Outreach report encouraged
eALnange of pulpits in
May 1980 to promote his
committee's objectives. He
told the court of several
