This issue of CHRISTIANITY TODAY comes three instead of two weeks after the last one, to allow for the first of our staff vacation periods.
We report with regret the death of Olive Cameron Murch, the wife for fifty-six years of our former managing editor, James De Forest Murch. Dr. Murch, a leader in the Christian Churches, has long been a bridge-builder between those sometimes called Campbellites and other evangelicals. We rejoice in his testimony of his sustaining faith in the resurrected Lord.
At a recent CHRISTIANITY TODAY board meeting the directors welcomed three new members: Fred R. Esty, chairman of the United States Banknote Company in New York City; Dr. P. Kenneth Gieser, an opthamologist from Wheaton, Illinois, who was a medical-missionary colleague of our own Dr. L. Nelson Bell (executive editor of the magazine and one of its founding fathers, and currently moderator of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S.); and William Mead, president of the Campbell-Taggert Associated Bakeries in Dallas. We expect to publish a list of our board of directors on the masthead soon.
Our Minister’s Workshop column for this and the August 25 issue surveys the vibrant outreach program of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was written by the pastor, James M. Kennedy.
