Lewis
Clark college students are taking
their place in community and
chureh activities while they earn
credit in a field work course in re
ligious education.
Moro than 25 students regularly
prov ide leadership for church
youth groups in the Portland
area As many more are assisting
without credit.
Directin' of the field work
course is the Rev. P. Marion
Simms, who joined the staff this
fall, after six year» as staff officer
of the Christian Endeavor society.
His schedule calls for a weekly
«inference with students engaged
, in the (irogram and two visits
each semester to watch student
leaders on the job.
While providing much-needed
leadership in understaffed small
churches, the course has been
planned to give young persons an
opixirtunity to correlate church
situations with the college pro
gram. Projects range from teach
ing Sunday school classes and di
recting radio progi-ams to coach
ing basketball teams.
Demand for student assistance
already exceeds tlx* class enroll
ment. Rev Simms said, but by
next fall the course will lx* ex
panded to meet standards set by
the ITesbyterian general assem
bly to prepare students for posi
tions as assistants in Christian
education. Development of this
work has also been approved by
the Presbyterian Synod of Oregon.
