World Methodist Center and Indian United Church Plans
Ground is broken at Lake Junaluska for a $50,000 World Methodist Council headquarters and Methodist archives to open in 1956. Parallel talks propose a united church for five Christian communions in North India and Pakistan with a triennial synod and lay ministry emphasis. Bangkok youth camp spans 15 countries building an outdoor basketball court for underprivileged youths, aided by Presbyterian missionaries. The International Missionary Council endorses religious liberty while urging gospel proclamation and civil responsibility. A premiere of Our Bible How It Came to Us will occur in Evanston during the World Council of Churches Assembly.
