Grant Awarded Toward Communications Network
Diocesan Press Service. March 26, 1969 [75-7]
WASHINGTON, Conn. -- Associated Parishes, Inc., a voluntary association of Episcopal clergy and lay people across the country, has announced receipt of a $30,000 grant from the national Executive Council of the Episcopal Church.
According to the Rev. Paul Hoornstra, rector of Grace Church, Madison, Wis., and president of Associated Parishes, the grant is intended to stimulate the development of a communications network for liturgical reform in the Episcopal Church. The organization has been promoting the concerns of renewal in the Church's liturgy and mission since the close of World War II.
During the next two years Associated Parishes will establish a series of field consultants across the country who will serve as resource persons for local congregations involved in the process of liturgical development.
Significant information will be made available to participating Associated Parishes. If the results prove valuable they will then be shared with the Church-at-large.
