Frederick L. Redpath New Head of ECF

Diocesan Press Service. January 22, 1974 [74018]

NEW YORK, N. Y. -- The election of Frederick L. Redpath as executive vice president and operating head of The Episcopal Church Foundation has been announced by Henry S. Noble, president. He succeeds W. Nelson Bump, who has retired after 10 years in the post and has been elected a director.

The Foundation is a national independent organization of laymen that initiates and underwrites projects in support of the work of the whole Church.

Mr. Redpath had been associated with Time Inc. for 29 years. For the past six years he was general manager of the Editorial Services Division, and before that was staff assistant to the chairman and president, and held various managerial positions in the advertising sales department of Life Magazine.

A former warden and vestryman, he is a member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Montclair, N.J., where he and Mrs. Redpath live with three of their six children. He is executive committee chairman of the Princeton University Alumni Council and chairman of the board of trustees of the Montclair Academy Foundation. He received a B.A. degree in history from Princeton in 1939.

Mr. Redpath will be assisted by Foundation vice presidents Van S. Bowen and Stephen P. Bell.

Mr. Bump joined the Foundation after a 30-year career with American Airlines during which he was vice president in the New England and New York regions.

Mr. Noble said, "In its 25 years of existence the Foundation has held a unique position in the church world. Its objectives have been carried forward with great distinction by Mr. Bump. Under his direction it has enjoyed great growth in resources and has achieved many accomplishments on behalf of the Church. We are confident this progress will continue under Mr. Redpath, whose broad experience in the communications field, and in church and education work, together with the high regard for him held by his past associates, assure this result."

Activities of the Foundation on behalf of the Church include such continuing projects as its interest-free Revolving Loan Fund to assist in the construction or renovation of parish and mission church buildings, and its Graduate Fellowship Program that enables highly qualified young clergymen to engage in doctoral studies.

The Foundation also made possible the research leading to the establishment in 1967 of the Board for Theological Education and it has helped to support its subsequent work. Other more recent projects that owe their starts to the Foundation are the Clergy Deployment Office, which uses a data bank of information to help clergy placement, and the Foundation's current study of clergy compensation.
