Baghdad Girls School Opens In Ancient City
Ground has been broken in Baghdad for a modern school for girls to replace 25 years of rented buildings. The Baghdad Girls School will employ 3 American and 13 Iraqi teachers under United Mission in Mesopotamia with sponsorship from mainline denominations. The project aims to educate Moslem, Christian, and Jewish girls in a region with low primary education access. The Pocket Testament League reports printing and distributing over 11 million Bibles in Japan since 1949, focusing on rural areas where leaders and pastors are concentrated. World Presbyterian Alliance Council meetings in 1954-55 will gather 400 delegates at Princeton and North Western University to discuss ecumenism, evangelism, and church life amid global tensions. The World Council of Churches plans to address unity, mission, and social issues with 600 delegates and 168 million Protestants represented worldwide. Metropolitan church leaders urge greater rural ministry and a group ministry model to serve scattered congregations.
