Joint Laymen's Meeting May 8-10
Diocesan Press Service. March 6, 1964 [XIX-12]
How does the layman back home learn that Mutual Responsibility also means "receive?" Ways of communicating this will be explored at the first joint meeting of official laymens' groups of Canada and the United States May 8-10 in Toronto.
The General Division of Laymen's Work of the Episcopal Church and the Division of Laymen's Work of the Anglican Church of Canada will sponsor this three day meeting.
Chairman of the conference will be the Rt. Rev. Ernest Reed, Bishop of Ottawa. Speakers will include the Rt. Rev. Stephen F. Bayne, Anglican executive officer; the Most Rev. Howard H. Clarke, Primate of All Canada; and Warren H. Turner, Jr., second vice president of National Council, New York.
A panel on methods of communications will include Herbert West of New York, vice president of Batten, Barton, Durstine and Osborne; Lawrence E. Laybourne of New York, assistant publisher of Time; Theodore W. Kober of Toronto, director of marketing of Vickers and Benson, Ltd., and John Ligertwood, treasurer of the Anglican Church of Canada.
The need is to impress all North Americans with the importance of receiving, not just their responsibility to give as a reaction to the Mutual Responsibility concept.
Some 35 Americans and 50 Canadians are expected to attend the meeting.
