World Methodist Center to Rise at Lake Junaluska
Ground is broken at Lake Junaluska for a $50,000 World Methodist Council headquarters and Methodist History Society archives to be dedicated in 1956. Plans foretell a united church in north India and Pakistan with a triennial synod and lay ministry emphasis. Bangkok camp workers build an outdoor court for underprivileged youth as readers observe the effort amid mixed reactions. The International Missionary Council emphasizes religious liberty and Christian witness, while a premiere of Our Bible: How It Came to Us debuts in Evanston ahead of World Council assembly.
