1 .. NEWS SERVICE OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION 127 NINTH AVE., N.. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE AL W. C. Fields, Director Thea Sommerkamp, Assistant Director December 9, 1962 November Statement Shows Ups And Downs NASHVILLE (BP)--November, 1962 Cooperative Program receipts for Southern Baptist Convention agencies showed an increase over the previous month but fell under those of November, SBC Treasurer Porter Routh here said receipts from state Baptist offices amounted to $1,607,777 in November. In October, they were only $1,491,836 but for the same month in 1961 they were $1,637,900. The November figure brought the ll-month 1962 total to $16,980,195. This is an increase of 5.64 per cent over 1961 for the same amount of time. It left $2 million to be received in December to meet the Cooperative Program budget for the year for both operating and capital needs. Beside the Cooperative Program income, the states forwarded $166,150 in designated gifts to Convention agencies. This was $9400 more than in October and $7300 more than the previous November. Designated gifts for the Southern Baptist Convention thus reached $13,567,255 for the year, up per cent over the previous year. Money coming from state Baptist offices to the treasurer of the SBC does not include funds kept by local churches nor the portion of church Cooperative Program contributions used for state missions. The SBC Foreign Mission Board has received $18,277,259 thus far in 1962 by both designations and the Cooperative Program. The Home Mission Board has gotten $5,808,141; Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, $1,150,274, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, each over $800,000. Texas Baptists ':have provided $3,120,416 through the Cooperative Program to SBC work. Florida, Georgia, Nortll Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia each have forwarded more than $1 million. Oklahoma Directors Ask History Printing OKLAHOMA CITY (BP)--Directors of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma voted here a $2400 allocation to be used in writing a history of Oklahoma Baptists. The convention's historical commission has been asked to work out details--including selection of the author and printer. The directors also voted to send J. A. Pennington, Oklahoma City, the convention's secretary of evangelism, to Tokyo next spring to assist in the Japan Baptist Convention's new life crusade.
2 " December 9, Baptist Press Virginia To Restudy 2 Special Offerings RICHMOND (BP)--Should two special missionary offerings taken by Baptists each year be churchwide offerings or should they be sponsored still by Woman's Missionary Union? l. committee of the Virginia Baptist General Doard has been asked to give "careful and deliberate study" to this question. The two offerings are the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for foreign missions, taken prior to Christmas, and the Annie Armstrong Offering for home missions, taken a few months later. Virginia Baptist leaders aaid Virginia is unique in that it is the only state Daptist group which does not promote the special offerings churchwide on a state basis. The projects have long been promoted by Woman's }lissionary Union, auxiliary to the Southern Baptist Convention. Funds raised help to support missionary worl; carried on by the SBC Foreign Mission Board and Home Mission Board. The l2-member committee announced an open meeting here April 17 to give any Baptists in Virginia opportunity to express themselves on the question. The chairman of the general board is also president of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, Charles Ryland, attorney living in Warsaw, Va. Elliott Counts Out ~ansas City Pulpit I~NSAS CITY, Mo. (BP)--Ralph H. Elliott, former professor at a local Baptist seminary, said he is not a candidate for the pulpit of the city's Calvary Baptist Church. Elliott began an interim pastorate at the church while teaching Old Testament and l~brew at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was dismissed later during the controversy over his book, "The Message of Genesis." t~riting in part: a front page personal statement in weekly church bulletin Elliott said, "Serving as interim pastor at Calvary has been a blessed experience. By contribution to the church has been small, and much needed service has gone unfulfilled because of my involvement and responsibility elsewhere. For whatever time may be left in this interim period, I should like to fulfill more of these needs... "From time to time, a number of you have been kind to request my services and to recommend my service here on a permanent basis. IIThus, in order that there may be no misunderstanding, and in order that the pulpit committee may hasten without interruption to its task, I would emphasize that I feel it would be a mistake for the church to consider me or for me to consider the church on a permanent basis. My best service to the Lord and to His Kingdom can, I believe, be rendered in a different environment. In the perspective of a long-range view, I believe the church can better be served by a fresh leadership, unencumbered by such circumstances as have surrounded my ministry... "In short, I am not a pulpit candidate for Calvary Baptist Church." Conrad R. Willard resigned as Calvary pastor in March to accept the pulpit of Central Baptist Church, Miami, Fla., and Elliott has been interim pastor since then. Elliott said he would remain as interim pastor until either the church secured a new pastor or he (Elliott) moved away from Kansas City.
