World Outreach
is meeting theme
"The United Church can-
not be exclusively involved
in evangelism," Eric King
told Huron -Perth Presbytery
of the United Church. "Is
faith complete without
justice?" he questioned his
audience and then stated
that for him it is not an op-
tion. King was introduced by
Rev. Charles Swan, Walton,
as part of the report on
World Outreach meeting in
Exeter United Church last
Tuesday.
Appointed to a new posi-
tion with World Outreach of
the National Church the
speaker said he 'was an
animator, a person who
animates people, commit-
tees and presbyteries. He exa
plained that the new focus of
World Outreach – to respond
to requests for missionary
skills and to work in partner-
ship with churches in other
countries. "We are partners
in a global society," he
stated:
King also suggested that
we can learn from our part-
ners, too. They ask about the
strange division between our
faith and our works, - our
relationships witlr- the
church and with. the com-
munity.
Rev. Maurice Francis,
Thamesview, told the court
about his 12 -month exchange
in New Zealand. He em-
phasized . ecumenical ex-
periences with Catholics and
various Protestant
denominations. He found
that. "the froth of the
charismatic movement. has.
settled down to a deeper
spirituality." He told of one
church that built• several
apartments where families
could spend periods of time
to sort things out and be
given help.
In his report on Steward-
ship Rev. Roy Babstock,
Stratford, indicated that he
was optimistic about Huron -
Perth reaching the 1981 goal
for M&S. Individual charges

crease of seven 'to 10.5 per-
cent.
