Report of the Committee on Church Architecture
(Report 1005)

The Committee held its first (organizational) meeting Octo-
ber 29, 1953, in Chicago. Since that time it has met four times.

At the first meeting general committee policy was established,
as well as a program of activities.

Foremost on the list of activities was the preparation of
a guide for congregations in a building program. This book has
been written and we hope will be published and distributed in
1956. This guide covers all phases of a building program and
will be of value to all congregations.

One objective, not yet achieved, is that of lecturing to minis-
terial students on church architecture and building programs.
