Presbyterian Lay Workers
The Presbytery of Christchurch will ask its Life and Mission and Christian Education committees to investigate the possibility of starting a lay workers’ training course next year or the year after At the monthly meeting of the Presbytery it was also agreed to ask the committees that they con I sider starting the course in collaboration with departments of the other negotiating church in Christchurch. The Rev. E. B. Stewart said that the mission of the local church was fourfold. It was a worshipping community, a nurturing community, a mission community and a servant community. The mission side, however, was often left unorganised. “We must train a flexible ministry to cope with new situations, or else I feel the church will die,” he said.
