Council of Churches Adopts Day Care Standards Nationwide
The National Council of Churches adopted new standards for day care amid rising church involvement in child care. The 266 member body, meeting in New Brunswick, aims to ensure physical and emotional safety, while planning a reorganization to boost evangelical and Catholic participation and tighten denominational program control. The assembly approved a 1985 budget of 35.6 million dollars, with overseas evangelism and relief receiving the largest rise, and bids farewell to general secretary Claire Randell as Anne R. Brower nears election for the post.
