the sit uation al churchill united church the statement isprlnted in full june is 1968 dear sir i would appreciate yourprinung the following statement re the churchill united church sit uation churchill congregation has had a long history of affective ser vice in gods kingdom it was established by men of faith who met the conditions and social structure of their day with sac rifice and courage that their ser vice might be effective not only for their local community but for the work of the total church and society tb rapidly increasing social changes in our day provide a real challenge lor the church to be as effective as possible both la soc iety at urge and in the local neighbourhood which because ol the automobile radio television larger school areas and other octal changes takes tn a larger area than ever before the church cannot be blind to this fact of todays society if it is to be true toner lord many rural and city churches with floe traditions located doe together because of bygone travel and or other changing condi tions are meeting th new fron tiers of the church by realigning to be more effective lnthe church work in sunday schools young peoples work church worship and outreach in the larger com munity and world it is the same pioneer spirit directed loth new frontiers of society for many years now a great deal of discussion and consider ation has been given by presby tery as to the future of churchill congregation and efforts made to serve itonafulttlmeordelned basis for the last four years the area has been studied by a realignment commission of presbytery the commission met with churchill official board on wednesday january 31 1968 with trinity acton official board pa wednesday april 24 to se cure as much new information as passible about the whole area in question other officii board meetings were he id at the request of the official board the commission gave due con sideration lo the present ar- rsnfjjnents prodmuy pf preaching points lbs number of families number of members attendance growth overlapping of areas interests facilities and the effectiveness of ttw total work in the total area in these changlnc times w it recommended amalgamation o urchlll united church and trinhy united church acton halloo presbytery consisting of an equal number of laymcnand ministers representing all past oral charges both ruralandurban is the court of the church that has immediate jurisdiction over th pastoral charges presbytery took into consider ation the unofficial notes the unauthorised petitions the ex plosive pressuring within a small congregation and the considera tions of the commission as noted above and voted as it has the authority lo do lo amalgamate the two congregations as of june 30 19u continuing lo perpet uate the excellent traditions of both in the one new congregation anyone desiring to transfer to another congregation would be free id do so the decision of presbytery still stands even though at a congregational meeting held for explanation after presbyterys decision the majority present indicated they disagreed with presbyterys action a furthur congregational meet ing will be held on june 26 to decide whether or not the pro perty will be part of the amalgamation ii is unfortunate thai dissen sion has been increased by some who have not been too active in churchill congregation or are not members or evenadherenls it is unfortunate thai sentiment ality and emotion have clouded the issue it wss hoped and still is that the church building will not be come an idol taking the place of greater service to our lord who calls us as a church to new ways of service and witness ii is hoped that the same sac rificial spirit of the pioneers will guide the folk at churchill lo have done with a selfcentred cosiness and dare lo reach out in a new adventure for their lord their children and the whole community and society it is not easy to advance be yond cherished traditions and hallowed places but we trust that all there may rise lo the present day challenge as many of the faithful families of churchill have indicated they in tend to do we pray that the long history of christian worship and witness at churchill will bear the fruits not the bitterness and death but of christian love and sacri ficial living as together the new congregation serves our lord and his
