Anglicans Involved in T.E.F.
Diocesan Press Service. November 2, 1964 [XXVI-25]
Anglicans played a major part in the first meeting of the newly-constituted Theological Education Fund Committee which was held in West Berlin during early September. On its 16-member committee selected from 11 nations were the Rt. Rev. John Sadiq, Bishop of Nagpur, India; the Rev. Canon John V. Taylor, general secretary of the Church Missionary Society of Great Britain, and Dr. Nathan Pusey, president of Harvard University.
Dr. James F. Hopewell, former missionary of the Episcopal Church in Liberia, assumed the directorship of the Theological Education Fund at this meeting.
The Theological Education Fund was reconstituted by the Commission on World Mission and Evangelism of the World Council of Churches to aid seminaries in Africa, Asia and Latin America during a new program between 1965 and 1970.
The Episcopal Church has been a principle supporter of the T. E. F. contributing a total of $314, 800 to its program between 1958 and 1964. A contribution of $153,000 is being sought from the church for the 1965-1970 program of the Fund.
