Diocesan Press Service. August 8, 1973 [73194]
MIAMI, Fla. -- Three fall regional evangelism conferences have been announced here by the Rev. Robert B. Hall, executive director of the Episcopal Center for Evangelism.
The conferences will be held at Trinity Cathedral, Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 31 - Nov. 3; All Saints' Church, Winter Park, Fla., Nov. 7 - 10; and Christ Church Cathedral, Houston, Tex., Nov. 28 - Dec. 1.
The regional conferences are an outgrowth of the First National Episcopal Conference on Evangelism which was held at Grace -St. Luke's Church, Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 4 -7, 1972, and which attracted over 700 lay persons and clergymen of the Episcopal Church. Two spring regional conferences were held in Boise, Ida., and Glendale, Calif.
The schedule for each of the three conferences is identical. An opening service will be held on Wednesday, with a speaker in the evening. There will also be a Faith Alive experience Wednesday evening, providing an opportunity for delegates to see that lay witness movement in action. Morning and afternoon assemblies with brief presentations will be held on Thursday and Friday, with four hours of workshops, so arranged that each delegate can sign up for six subjects. A prayer and praise meeting will be held Thursday evening, and the Saturday morning session will include speakers and a closing rededication service.
Registrations are accepted upon payment of a $15 registration fee. Participants provide their own food and housing. Information may be obtained from The Episcopal Center for Evangelism, 12900 S.W. 83rd Court, Miami, Fla. 33156.
