Huron-Perth Presbytery of the
United Church of Canada met at
St. John's , Stratford recently
when the chairman, Rev. Bert
Daynard, presided. Special
guests were the ,President of
London Conference, Rev. Burton
Crowe and Ms Marilyn Day, of
Stratford, who was. Huron-Perth's
representative in the 50th
Anniversary Youth Exchange.
Rev. Crowe spoke of the need
for lay people to witness in
conversation, in decisions at
work, and in attitudes. He stated
that "no professional clergy can
hope to do what the church is
called to do - it requires the whole
body of believers". The role of
the clergy is to be "enablers,
script-writers, encouragers". All
Christians "are called to be a
Christ to others" - to uncover and
nurture the best in all people.
Ms Day, an intern at
Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital,
spent four weeks in South. Korea
last summer. She showed slildes
and discussed her experiences
with. Korean families and
churches. She stated that S.
Korea is a country in transition
from a rural to a mixed economy.
Only ten per cent of the
population is Christian. ,The
devotion of many of these people
is impressive. One theological
Seminary has a slit in its flag until
the Dean and all students
imprisoned for human , rights
activities are released. The
military is everywhere and
passengers are regularly frisked
on boarding the Korean Airways.
Despite the tense political
situation, however, she
remembers the experience with
enthusiasm. Next year the young
people of the, six countries visited
by United Church youth this year
will visit in Canada. She summed
up: "When I think of Korea I
think of friends, not distance. The
world is smaller than I thought."
Another young person, Jim
Beecroft, reported on a Yoilth
Colloquim held at Cedar Glen. He
reported that the London
Conference representatives felt
an acute need for some sort of
organization for the 18 - 24 yr. age
range. To that end a weekend
gathering.is planned for May 14 -
16, 1976.
The Resource Centre, now in
Ontario Street Church, Clinton,
will be the site of a PreviewDay
on January 6, 1976 from 2 - 5 and
7 - 10 p.m. (duplicate programs).
Available films; filmstrips
cassettes and publications willb e
on view with the Leadership
Development Teamto assist with
any particular needs.
Rev. Wesley Ball reported that
the Church in Society Committee
has begun plans for a Seminar on
capital Punishment with M.P.P.
Murray Gaunt.
Rev. Bert Daynard reported on
the "Wise Land Use" Seminar at
Brucefield. About 45 persons,
attended each session. There was
a consensus on seeing land as
"precious". Dr. Allan Churchill
took the position that it should be
used "for God's sake" while Mr.
Wm. Heine, Editor of the London
Free Press, thought it should be
used "with enlightened self-
interest" for man's sake. The
conclusion was reached that in
order to save themselves people
are goihg to have to save the
world's resources but no one
wants to make .any sacrifices.
Dr. Ross Crosby pointed out to
the court that The World Council
of Churches is meeting in Nairobi
with official Roman CAtholic
representatives for the first time.
The major social issue to be
discussed is funds to minorities.
Rev. Maurice Francis,

Board meetings, that there is still
t e time
a need for missionaries althoug
some countries are trying

The Finance Co mmitte
reported that new methods o
