Expect 500. at annual event The constitutionally required annual meetings' of the London Conference of The United Church will be held in Sault Ste. __Mari e -on --May 2.8 -to -May 31 this year. Only twice in the 55 years of United Church history has the London Conference met for its annual meetings in the county of Algoma - the last occasion- was 16 years ago, in 1962. Why Sault Ste. Marie? The. London Conference area of jurisdiction, with its 90,000 members, embraces the eight Southwestern Ontario Counties of :,Essex, Kent, Lambton, Elgin, Mid- dlesex, Oxford, Huron and Perth. Due to an historical and sen- timental oddity, it also includes Algoma. Distances have tended to isolate Algoma and view it as a less favoured, possibly even a• -neglec- ted, convention con- sideration. ' Costs are always a serious consideration for responsible churchmen. But the need to balance regional recognition (i.e. Algoma area) and good stewardship has prom- pted commendable and sacrificial initiative on the part of lay delegates and clergy. Thus all delegates and ministers, representing 300 pastoral charges, in • the nine counties, have agreed to meet their own travelling expenses. Instead of Conference centre accommodation, i.e. motels, hotels or university residences, the residents of the Soo area are opening their homes, borrowing or renting trailers so that all delegates will be privately billeted. All meetings will be held in church buildings where volunteer women's grouy, will serve mid-day meals. The Conference is unique inasmuch as it is, the first time an un - ordained women will be presiding. Mrs. Anne Pgilsson of Sombra was elected President in May of .1978 and 'will be in office until the_ close of the 1979 annual m tiegs. Special visit° s• will include Dr. Clifford • Elliott of Toronto who will demonstrate the power and use of drama, dance, music, colour, poetry, etc. as tools to more adequately com- municate the Christian message of hope and sacral uplift --tris------the Canadian society and in the world. Presenting the problem and the hopes of the Native people of the Canadian North will be Hugh 'McCallum former_. editor of the Canadian Churchman and now co- ordinator of the inter- church project on Nor- thern Development. It is expected that 500 del.egates._._b n.....at tendance - 250 clergy and 250 plus lay„delegates. Mr. Crawford -was thanked by Mrs. E. Sparling, co -convener of programs. She an- nounced that Ken Smith of the London Free Press will be the guest speaker at the club's April meeting. A bus trip on April 25 is being planned for the members of the Garden Club. Members will viskt. Dekker's greenhouses in Strathroy and -then go on to the Horne 'and Garden Show at the London Fairgrounds.
