COMBINED CHURCH YOUTH CAMP
ST. ALBANS VENTURE AT GLENROY SITE The first inter-church youth camp in Canterbury will be held at the Baptist camp site, Glenroy, this weekend. Fifty ministers and young people of the St. Albans Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, and Baptist parishes, the Church of Christ and the Salvation Army will leave this evening in a convoy of 12 cars to attend the camp. The suggestion to hold the camp came from some of the ministers in St. Albans after they had attended a faith and order conference at Sumner in May last year. The camp has been arranged chiefly by the St. Albans Ministers’ Fraternal. The object is to introduce young men and women to the ecumenical movement. The director of the St. Albans Interchurch Youth Camp (the Rev. S. W. R. Heyward) said yesterday that the idea of holding the camp was not entirely new. Similar experiments had been held in Auckland and Dunedin with some success, but the experience would be new to the young people of Christchurch. “For the first time they will be discussing together the trends towards the unity of the church and the common Christian responsibility in this generation,” he said.
