Memorial 201, page 283, Reports and Memorials

Wuereas, The development of an organized and systematic
program of Christian education is a necessity in every congrega-
tion; and

of a director of Christian education who would assist the pastor
in providing professional leadership for the Sunday school, Satur-

day classes, and other educational activities of the congregation;
therefore be it

Resolved, That congregations be encouraged to analyze their
parish education program and, where needed, to establish the
office of “director of Christian education” in order to provide
additional leadership for the educational program of the con-
gregation.

_Action: This resolution was adopted.
