'ted Church Loiidon conference
at University of Windsor
On the first day of the
Lpndon Conference . of the
United Church of Canada at the
Priiversity of Windsor 360
etei'ids and laymen registered.
The sessions lasted until
-Thursday night. .Four huhdre,d
or moreI. delegates were finally
registered.
The six ordinands were
officially interviewed by,, the
committee on colleges and,
students, under the
cheirnianship . of Rev.. H. M.
Hunter of St. Thomas. The
ordination was • slated for
Thursday evening, with the Rev.
N. Bruce McLoed, M.A., B.D„
Th. D. of Hamilton addressing
the ordinands.
Rev. Angus Meacham,
president of conference; started
the "new 'look" of the
conference by the seminar on
Church .Union. In discussion
groups of 10 the delegates
considered briefly many aspects
of the problems related to the
proposed union of the Anglican
and the United Church of
Canada:
Following the group
discussions members of a panel
formed from various
commissions on Church Union.
discussed questions from the
floor. Emphasis was placed on
the laymen's concern for the
"grassxoots" of the church to be
included in new church thinking.
The laymen are more concerned
with a faith that serves than with
theological niceties. One
delegate voiced his total lack of
interest in the denomina-
tionalism of today.
The facilities of the
University of Windsor, the
Students' Centre, the
dormitories,,, and - the Student
Council,. area were extended to
the members of the, London
Conference as they- -were last ,.
year. The United Church
recognized a debt of gratitude to.
the University authorities for the
facilities.
Rev. August Meacham, M.M.,
B,A., B.D.,- of Blenheim was
re-elected as president of
London Conference for the
ensuing. year. This is the first
time a president in this
conference has been re-elected
for two successive years.
Among the nominations was
the name of a layman, Harold
Manriell of Tillsonburg. This
shows the new concern for
involvi g laymen in ecclesiastical
offices. The other two nominees
were Regi. Gordon Geiger, of
Esser and Rev. Hugh Hunter of
St. Thomas.
New faces will be in many
pulpits of the London
Conference after July 1:

Rev. N. Bruce McLeod, M.A.,Liviiitl We rs rusty e
speaker of the conference S
I,I,I:demonstrated the aliveness of II o
Church, Hamilton, the theme •
the church to modem media and
conditions. "In a 3yorld of,
poverty apd death in other;parts
• of our earth," he'k'ffirmed, "it is
hard -to be the church in a• rich
land. Faced with a kaleidoscope
of sensations and emotions, the
world " is now bound by a
common nervous system. In this
ONE humanity can God reach
us? Can we recognize that God's
glory is NOW and HERE."
The Conference was warned
that "Things are changing" in
the communication' field. In a
lively demonstration the
committee stressed the extensive
area of church communication;
in publications, in the .press, in
TV_ and radio, and in
audio-visual media. They are all
valid and significant for the
church in today's world.
Do you know what's going
on? Do you care? What can the
church do abolYt it? These
questions, impressed by movies
of drug addiction and parental
concern and frustration,._ were
raised by L.. Purdy, regional
director of Alcohol and Drug
Addiction Foundation, Toronto
area. One answer to the
multitude of questions in this
field for the church is to have a
living and loving concern for the'
young people of this seeking
generation. he said.
Witnesses plan
training.. program
The Goderich congregation of
Jehovah's witnesses are making
preliminary plans to attend a
three-day training program in
Wingham, it was announced May
14.
Mr. Amoroso, presiding
minister of the group, in
dissiissingrthis announcement to
the congregation pointed to the
challenge to Christian thinking
and Christian works in the rising
tide of materialism.
"The object of the program,"
Amoroso said, "is to equip every
one of the . Christian
Congregation. of Jehovah's
witnesses in the practical use of
the Bible as a l tlp in -fortifying
the spiritual morale of people in
our community:
The announcement came as a
climax to the weekry
ministry -development program
held at the 1pcal Kingdom Hall.
Amoroso said that Jehovah's
witnesses are enrolled in
ministerial training of at least
five classes weekly. "We
maintain," he emphasized, "that
if a religion is worth .believing it
is worth putting into practice."
"For that reason, the Watch
Tower Bible and Tract Society,
sponsors of the three-day
Wingham refresher program,
have set the . theme of the
assembly as "Make Wise Use of
the ,:Remaining Time," he
explained.
"We sincerely 'hope that the
advanced training planned for us
there will enable us to live closer
to the Bible and its teachings'."
The program is• scheduled for
May 23-25' in F. E. Madill
Secondary School, Wingham.
