Religious Revival Big Need at Lutheran Convention
Dr. C P Kretzman of Valparaiso University told the Lutheran Laymen's League convention in New York that 1952 opens new horizons for church work worldwide. Delegates from 3500 clubs and 4350 representatives approved a revised constitution and plans for a Saint Louis headquarters. The league, with 75 000 members, promotes Martin Luther's birthday observance and Bible study classes. A $5000 float for the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena was approved, amid debate on church publicity versus soul-winning. Dr Eugene Berlermann noted the Lutheran Hour broadcasts on 1010 stations in 38 countries in 57 languages and plans for its 20th season in September.
