Newspaper Page TextLaymen Fill Many Important Church Offices in Nation Br LOUIS CASSELS United Press International What is the layman's job In the church? Recent years have brought sweeping changes in Ameri can views on this subject. And there are signs that further revolution is brewing Before World War II, the average layman felt that he was doing about all that could be expected of him if he at tended worship services and contributed financial support. Virtually all of the work of the church - from evange lism to business management -was left in the hands of the ordained clergy. The vast expansion of church membership after the war made this arrangement untenable. Churches learned mai even wnen tney over worked their ministers, they simply didn t have enough professional manpower to cope with their growing task So the layman was put to work. Gradually he took on many of the administrative responsibilities pievio usly borne by the clergy. Millions of Volunteer Helpers Today there are millions of laymen, in every denomina tion, who are serving their churches on a part-time vol unteer, basis. They are plan ning budgets, conducting fund drives, supervising building and maintenance programs, leading youth organizations, editing church publications. For the most part, they are doing an excellent job. So good, in fact, that some thoughtful religious leaders are beginning to wonder whether churches may not be "using" laymen a little too freely for purely institutional chores, and thereby obscurijig the more fundamental minis try to wnicn laymen are called. That ministry has been de fined in many ways. Perhaps the most meaningful concept to modern minds is that each layman should serve as a point of contact between the church and the world. Thorough his daily work, be he ditchdigger or diplomat, he should do whatever he can to serve humanity in the spirit of Christ. And in his everyday associations with friends, neighbors, fellow workers and casual acquaintances, he should be a "witness" that is, give testimony - for Christ, both by his deeds and on suit able occasion's by words. Laymen Understand Work There have always been laymen who understood this ministry and sought to per form it. The new development is a growing recognition by church leaders that "involv ing" laymen in a frantic round of institutional activity H is not necessarily the best way to prepare them for their most important task. Recent statements by an Episcopal clergyman and a Lutheran layman illustrate this new emphasis. Dean Francis B. Sayre Jr. of Washington Cathedral said it is a sad mistake for clergy Missionary Service At First Assembly A missionary service will be held at First Assembly of God, 1108 West Main st., Sun day at 7:30 p.m. according to the pastor, the Rev. Robert E. Cull. Evangelist and Mrs. Everett James, Costa Mesa Calif., representatives of the Mission ary Gospel Society of the As semblies of God, will have charge of the service during which time the color film, "Suicide Mountain," will be shown. Filmed in Japan, "Sui cide Mountain" depicts the story of a young Japanese girl who accepted the Chris tian faith only to be driven from her home by an irate father. No admission charge will be made but a free-will offer ing will be taken, the pro ceeds of which will be used in printing Christian literature for overseas use. The public is invited to at tend.

The ad visor is Jerry Igo. men to try to "wean laymen away in every moment of their spare time to the often- extraneous activities we call 'church work'." "The role of the church,' he said, "is to act as a chap lain to all of life, discovering for men the meaning of those tasks in which they are al ready engaged." Howard Logan, executive secretary of United Lutheran cnurcn Men, said every church men's organization should concentrate on helping its members understand the full dimensions of Christian service rather than manipu lating them for service to the institutional church exclusive ly."
