from Heppner, attended a
two-day workshop on "Perm

Foster Care." The session was
held October 25 and 26 at
Eastern Oregon State College
in La Grande, Oregon.
The program was the first of
a three-part series for some
100 rural social workers. It
covered the unique problems
associated with permanent
planning in rural settings.
Permanent planning refers to
the process of uniting children
with natural or adoptive
parents on a continuing, stable
basis.
Mr. Victor Pike headlined
the presentations. Pike is the
originator of the national
movement toward permanent
planning for children in foster
care. Currently he works at

the great English moral
theologican and bishop, Ken

Christian purpose and "call"
this way: "Christianity has
come into the world with a
double purpose: To offer men
the vision of God, and to call
them to the pursuit of that
vision." Spofford went on to
say "In an era when men
seem to be turning to rather
shallow faith and personal
security, we as a household
need a clearer apperception of
that vision and a more
consecrated pursuit of it." "I

ageous witness and that wit
ness has to take the form of
service, giving, educated and
universal concern with a love
of God which is reflected in a
true respect for the creation
He has shared with us."
During the course of the
Convention two major resolu-'
tions were discussed and put
to a vote. The first reaffirmed
the Episcopal Church's tradi
tional stance against capital
punishment. As far back as
1958 the church came out with
a statement opposing capital
punishment. Action will be
taken to notify the State
Legislators who represent the
several congregations located
within the Diocese.
In the second issue the
convention voted against pro
posed Indian legislation de
signed to abrogate all existing
Indian treaties and terminate
all existing Indian reserva
tions. That legislation is being
sponsored in Congress by Rep.
Lloyd Meeds, D. and Rep.
Jack Cunningham, R. both of
the State of Washington. The
Convention has been directed
to take action by reporting its
position to the National
Church and to the members of
Congress sponsoring the prop
osed legislation.
