Laymen Fill Many
Important Church
Offices in Nation
Br LOUIS CASSELS

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

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
