Key 73 Leaders Call Campaign Partly Successful in Grassroots
Seven top leaders of the year long Key 73 evangelical program met in New York to assess the campaign. They call the national effort a financial failure but praise strengthened evangelism at the grass roots through door to door canvassing and 40 million copies of Luke and Acts in Touched by Fire. The group notes a new coalition forming and cites 10,000 Bible study groups and 20,000 Lutheran youths at a Houston rally as signs of impact. Participants include Rev. Theodore Raedeke and six others from Baptist, Methodist, Churches of Christ, Brethren in Christ, Christian Reformed, and the Salvation Army.

Church Morality Says Says Critic By GEORGE W. CORNELL
The Rev Dr Allen Geyer argues church boards deserve the same critical exposure given to politicians. He notes moral sensitivity in the church rivals other sectors, while several denominations restructure staff, risking large human costs despite severance aid. Dennis Shoemaker of the United Presbyterian Church laments lack of worker input.
