Free Promotional Materials for Parish Education
(Memorial 205)

Wuereas, The educational program of the Church requires
aggressive promotion; and

Wuereas, The production of promotional materials for the
various agencies of Christian education is necessary for such
promotion; and

Wuereas, Congregations are handicapped in their utilization
of such materials when educational tracts and other promotional
materials are available only as sales items; and

Wuereas, The availability of free mission tracts shows the
greater advantage of making such materials available to con-
gregations free of charge; and

Wuereas, Numerous objections have been raised to the previous
practice according to which we are forced to exact a fee for such

Resolved, That we respectfully request Synod to make avail-
able to the Board for Parish Education $35,000 per year for the
next triennium so that they can make available such materials

free to our various congregations. >
