4 Dr. E. W. Price Jr., pastor of Green Street Baptist Church, took the occasion of his release from High Point Memorial Hospital, where he recently underwent treatment, to express appreciation for his treatment. " could never expect to be treated more kindly and courteously than was by members of your staff," he wrote Administrator W. R. Peters. "The nurses and the aides were all so friendly and helpful and responsive to my every need. Everything was kept clean and neat. had the feeling at every moment was receiving the most competent sort of medical treatment. The meals were superb, well-prepared and tasty. The idea of being able to make selections is first class, indeed. Personally, do not see how you can give such service at the price of the room. You could hardly get a motel room and three meals a day for the price you are charging, not counting all the personal nursing that is involved. You are to be commended on operating such an efficient hospital. Please express to your staff my appreciation for all they did for me personally and for all see they are doing for others day by day as make my rounds of the hospital. Our hospital is a true asset to our community. f you ever need anyone to make a speech for the hospital do not hesitate to call on me."

18 By JEFF JOHNSON Qiterprlse Staff Writer Perhaps no church in High Point has felt the pressure of the charismatic influence more than Green Street BaptistJJ!J.trch. the city's largest. - The 2,868-member church was stunned March 25 with the announcement that the Rev. E.W. "Buddy" Price Jr. and his three associate pastors were resigning. Price, who has been pastor at Green Street for 22 years, may have sought to heal the division caused by charismatic meeting groups at the church two weeks earlier when he delivered a sermon in which he gave his ideas on the role of the charismatic church in today's religion. The sermon. entitled "A Pastoral Epistle.',. called on Ute church board of deacons to "establish some guidelines within which we can all work together in the days to come." The deacons instead adopted a list of 10 guidelines the night of the sermon which some members said restricted Ute right of church members to participate in charismatic services. The final resolution says that any member who cannot live by the guidelines "shall not do anything to hurt and divide his church but quietly seek fellowship elsewhere." Two of the associate pastors, the Rev. James A. Purvis and the Rev. Melvin Anderson, said the guidelines were "too restrictive" in explaining why they resigned. "t would be tragic if our church became divided because of this issue," Price said in his March 11 sermon. "My plea with you and with our church would be for us to build a church fellowship that is broad enough to receive any true brother or sister in the Lord who wants to cooperate with our fellowship." Wilfred R. Eddinger of Thomasville, chairman of the board of deacons, said that Price personally wrote some of the guidelines which were adopted by the deacons. According to Eddinger, those guidelines which Price did not participate in drafting included the final resolution and one which stated that basic differences within a fellowship often lead to "friction and dissension and eventually. in some cases, division of the local church." "We have banded together to adopt a doctrine for our entire church," Eddinger said. "When the individual's conscience does not go along with that, we do not criticize, but if his conscience does not agree with that doctrine. then he ought to go somewhere where his conscience does agree with that doctrine." And Eddinger acknowledged that some people will do exactly that because of the anti-charismatic resolutions and the loss of the four ministers. He admitted that some members have already left the congregation, but is not sure how many. n his sermon, Price said that while many charismatics speak in tongues, the word refers mainly to those who have received "the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He cited passages in the New Testament which discuss such spiritual gifts as speaking in tongues and healing. Price said the modern charismatic movement is composed of those who stress the importance of the Holy Spirit and the use of spiritual gifts. But he asked those in the church who spoke in tongues to do it in private, and not "in the worship services such as we have just now." F.ddinger described those who have participated in charismatic Sunday school and worship groups at Ute church as "not a minute minority or a major majority, but a rather strong following in our church." He said that while the church can provide for the needs of its people, he recognizes that the Green Street doctrine is not for everyone. "Religion within itself is an emotional thing. Some people would not enjoy an emotional meeting, but there are a lot of people who would enjoy a lot of 'Amens' and a lot of shouting," Eddinger said. The final resolutions drafted by the board of deacons make it clear that such practices will not be a part of services at Green Street Baptist. Price said the modern. charismatic movement is composed of those who stress the importance of the Holy Spirit and the use of spiritual gifts. But he asked those in the church who spoke in tongues to do it in private, and not 'in the worship services as we have just now.' Dr. E.W.

19 Price Accepts New Church Pastors hip By JEFF JOHNSON Enterprise Staff Writer The Rev. E.W. "Buddy" Price Jr. said Saturday he has accepted pastorship of the newly formed Grace Be.[>tist Church effective May 1. - l"i'~ s statement to The Enterprise that he has "accepted the call" at the new church comes less than four weeks after he announced his resignation as pastor of Green Street Baptist Church, the city's largest. While many of the members of the new church apparently are persons who left the 2,868-member Green Street Baptist over a list of 10 anticharismatic resolutions, several of the persons who have formed Grace Baptist have said the church will be Southern Baptist, rather than a part of the charisma tic renewal. Wayne Honeycutt, a member of the steering committee established to form Grace Baptist, said the committee is in the process of preparing a statement about the new church and declined to comment on the situation. Dr. E. W. Price Jr. Wilfred Eddinger of Thomasville, chairman of the board of.deacons at Green Street, said a pulpit committee has been formed to fill the vacancy which will be created when Price leaves May l. He said the committee will be seeking an interim pastor at Green Street, and later a permanent pastor. "We're trying to regroup and shuffle our forces and see who is going to be with us, but we're not going to roll over and die," Eddinger said.. One of the persons who says he will definitely not remain at Green Street is long-time member Argie Wood, who says he has decided to join the new church. "'m just one of those they wanted out," Wood said. "They haven't come out and told me that, but they said in that number 10 thing (the 10th resolution adopted by the board of deacons) that those who did not want to go along with them should slip quietly out. That's what 've decided to do." He finds that the new church makes him feel more free in his worship, and said those in attendance at organizational meetings have appeared. to be v~ry happy. He thinks Price's hiring will further serve to inspire the new congregation. "There's going to be a lot of hallelujahs over there. (at Grace Baptist in reaction to Price's decision)," Wood said. Attendance at the most recent organizational meeting for Grace Baptist has been estimated by church spokesmen at between 200 and 300. Some 71 families have reportedly pledged their support to the new church, and it is believed that the membership is already committed to a $106,000 first-year operating budget. Plans have been made for Gr1ace Baptist to hol~ services at Tomlinson School. Church members said the group was interested in meeting at And~ews High School, but that location proved unsuitable because the air conditioning system at the school is not in opera tion during the summer months. Two weeks before resigning as pastor of Green Street Baptist, a position he held for 22 years, Price appealed to the church board of deacons to "establish some guidelines within which we can all worktogether in the days to come." The deacons instead adopted a list of 10 guidelines some members felt was too restrictive. The resignation of Price and three associate pastors widened the split within the congregation, and Eddinger acknowledged that some members would probably. leave the church as a result of the board's action.,

The 90-member board this morning also discussed the possible purchase of two acres of land adjoining the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Final action by the board will be taken in an afternoon session. The property, the old Battle estate, would be used for a Baptist student center. The old family place, still on the property, possibly would be used for rental to international students until the center could be planned and built. The convention presently owns a downtown business section site for a center. f the new property is purchased, the present lot would be sold. Action of the board would be subject to approval of the 1964 convention which will meet in Greensboro.
