LEADERSHIP OF CHURCH
Need Seen To Help Laity
“Leadership within . our church recognises that lay men and women are finding themselves out in the vanguard of the church,” the Bishop of Christchurch (the Rt. Rev. A. K. Warren) said yesterday, addressing the Synod of the Diocese of Christchurch. “We must devise ways of helping the laity in the offices and the industrial parts. Those who come face to face with the cynical materialism, which is so common; those who have to itve with the apathy which is spiritual, cultural and social in their environment: these are the oeople who have been questioned and who others feel ought to have an answer to the problems of the times.
“This is one of the reasons why we have established, our department of Christian education in the diocese. The programme of religious education in the church must be 1 one continually adapting Itself , to the needs of the laity.” The front-line Christian needs to know that reinforcements are on the way ' The work of our Sunday school organiser, of our youth consultant and of the directdr . of religious education can be pf the utmost importance in this sphere."
