Mennonite church starts plans
for new general
Reorganization of •the Mennon -
ite Church, since the first request
for a study of church structure
was submitted ten years ago,
represents "only the end of a
beginning, " said Howard Zehr,
Scottdale, Pa., acting general,
secretary of the denomination,
at its constitutional and general
assembly at Kitchener, August
18.
The 97, 500 -member denomin-
ation is now organized with cong-
regations relating to each other
in five regions across North
America. Functioning for the
entire church will be a General
Assembly and a General Board.
Having provided for a General
Assembly, under which various
boards will operate, congregat-
ions are now faced with the nec-
essity of internalizing the concept
"church is mission" said H.
Ernest Bennett, Elkhard, Ind.,
a member of the Study Commis-
sion on Church Organization.
"Mission must permeate every
one of our ministries, " he said.
"Included in the process of
change is the struggle for our
identity as a people, " said Boyd
Nelson, Elkhart, Ind., inform-
ation services secretary of the
Board of Missions. "New symbols
need to emerge as the older ones
are dropped or changed, " he said.
In the Wednesday morning
business sessions each of the four
previously representative boards --
Publication, Education, Mission
and General Conference --approv-
ed by-laws placing them under
the supervision and coordination
assembly
of the General Board. The reg-
ions are represented on the Gen-
eral Board and on each admin-
istrative board.
The Wednesday afternoon bus-
iness session considered and ap-
proved regional boundaries, task
force reports, two-year interim
administrative arrangements,
budget and finance proposals.
Regional boundaries were tenta-
tively approved by the 300 dele-
gates, but more definite lines
will be drawn in cooperation
with the General Board. The bud-
get covering a 29 -month transit-
ional period was kept on basically
the same level as that of General
Conference.
Delegates on Wednesday elect-
ed A. Don Augsburger, Harrison-
burg, Va. as moderator and New-
ton Gingrich, Tavistock, as
moderator -elect of the General
Assembly. Paul A. Leatherman,
Akron, Pa. is secretary -treasurer.
Chairman of the General Board
is Paul Mininger,Goshen, Ind.

positions were Ralph Lebold,

Board; Anna Bowman, Scarbor-
ough and John W. Miller, Kit-
chener, members of the Council
of Faith, Life and Strategy;

TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
Torbnto`ielegram Syndicate
"Friendly and Outgoing"
To meet Peter or to talk to him, you'd never suspect
this young lad is currently attending a school for the re-
tarded.
Peter is 10, a friendly outgoing boy who carries on a
good conversation. He conies from an extremely deprived
background, the sort of situation where a child is left
lying in his crib with no one paying any attention to him.
Ile was four before he learned to walk.
Now in a good foster home and in the encouraging
atmosphere of the school; he has shown marked im-
provement in both physical and mental development.
The psychologist who tested him was impressed with his
personality and feels he has not yet reached his potential
— an encouraging outlook.
Peter is a lovable youngster who seems younger than
his years. He is very popular in the vicinity of his foster
home, with both children and adults. He visits many
people in the district and likes nothing better than to
help do chores around other people's houses.
A healthy, good-looking boy, Peter is Anglo-Saxon in
background, and has brown eyes and dark hair. He's a
sensitive child, needing an affectionate, easygoing home
without academic pressures. With his winning personali-
ty, he can fit into any family with children either older
or younger.
To. inquire about adopting Peter, please write to To-
day's Child, Department of Social and Family Services.,
Parliament Buildings, Toronto 182. For general adop-
tion information, ask your Children's Aid Society.
