The Ohio Independent Baptist, June 1966

(Concluded from page 7) t the present time, we have a staff of worker laboring in our vari– ou offices around the world, which include Amsterdam: Collingswood, ~e,v Jer ey: Chile. outh America: Beirut, Lebanon: Korea~ and For– mo a. In all of the e places our need is to expand the working taff and to ~uppl)' them with ufficient funds to carr)' on their work succe fully. ince our f orn1ation in 1948 five additional Plenary ongre es have been held when representatives from all O\'er the world joined us in the di cu ion of vital n1atters related to our faith. All of our meetings have been held during the month of August thus far, the second meeting being held in Geneva, witzerland; the third in Elkins Park. Pennsylvania just above Philadelphia, in 1954; the Fourth Plenary Congress in Rio, Petropolis. Brazil in 1958 · the Fifth Congress in Amsterdam, The Nether– lands, in 1962; and the last one, the Sixth. in Geneva this }last year. Every congress seems to rise to new heights of spiritual blessing as these faithful warriors from around the world gather together for a time of fellowship and inspiration. Not Mission Agency It must be kept in mind that the International Council of Christian Churches is not a mission agency of the church. but a co-operative agency coordinating our common intere t in the defense of the historic hristian faith.. and related matters. We are 11ot a church and do not attempt to do the \\'Ork of a church or a de- 11omination. We co-operate with our arious mis ion agencies through TAM in helping to keep open the doors of various countries to the preaching of the Gospel , and at time\ representi11g them before Govern- 111ent in property matters and other items which need our as i tance. o r11a ll a11llOLJI1t of our time is spent cou11tering the effort of the World urici1 of }1t1rcl1e to tie t1r> the 11 t i I e hr i t i a 11 \A.' o r Id and 1n i s i o 11 ar~, ndea, 1 or under tl1eir leader hip an(I direction. \ e eek t o 111ake clear t <. tl1e \\'Orld t11at our con titL1e r1c)' reJ)re- en t 13 i l,) -1, Ii j 11 g c t1 ti rc 11 e "" 11 i ch I u to accep>t tllc lefti t line of t 11 "' ' r 1d ou 11 c i I I ader h i p. \Ve, a far a I, i l, I~, 111 re- e ff rt f t 11 , llri ti de- 11 111 i ril at I n t 11:1" i 11 t a i n a I a I l st i- 11 n tl11 t1gl1(>tJl t 11 ,.., 1 Id t t 11 g I l: , 1 t I ~ ~ t r I c ]1 11 t i t 11 a I t I J t I s \.Jll II .. t l 111 c I a It 11 f lJ I I t 1 11 e I J ]1I 51 U[ ,ll1l 11ldCI , 11 ,1 a 11 t t J 11 ct i n 1 1 tJ I 1 I ~ I t I ll \ !1 d \ established a number of different commissions to aid us in coordinatino b the work within their particular field like that of the missionary arm unde; TAM, Commission on Evangelism Radio-Audio, T.V., Christian Educa– tion, Information and Publications ' ocial and Relief and other addition- al commission and committees. If the International Council were not in the field contending again t our common enen1y which is pron1oting the ect1menical church, we would have no active voice in defen e of the hi toric Christian faith. The as ump– tion of government and other group would be that the World Council alone repre ented the Chri tian public. Your prayers and support are vitally needed for the continuation of thi world-wide witne s. Our American of– fice is at 756 Haddon Avenue, Col– lingswood, New Jersey. ORPHANS~ . . . . .
