Bible-in-Schools League
On the motion of the Rev. L. V. Bibby, the Presbyterian General Assembly, at its session in Christchurch, approved the proposed change in the name of the Bible-in-Schools League to the Educational Department of the National Council of Churches. It also recommended that the new body should adopt a constitution similar to that of the Youth Committee of the National Council of Churches. The Assembly approved of the educational policy of the churches being administered by one agency with its own budget and staff. This agency was empowered to use to the fullest possible extent the facilities available for worship and religious instruction in the educational institutions of the Dominion, and to formulate and submit to the churches new proposals on religious education and allied matters.
