the amount given to the National
Council of the Episcopal Church,
and funds for adding an assistant
minister to the Episcopal chaplain
cy at the University of Delaware,
an assistant director of Christian
Education, and an administrative
assistant to the Bishop.
According to the Executive
Council, which adopted the propos
ed budget for 1857, the diocese has
gwen the National Council 10000
each year since 1853, despite the
ever-growing needs of the nat ional
church. Ait the same time, the do
cese has more than doubled its 10
cal budget. The 1857 budget would
raies the amount of money given
the National Council to $751; 900.
The 1855 diocesan convention
adopted recommendation to add
an assistant minister to the Epis-
copal chapla:ncy at the University
of Delaware, but the post has not
yet been created because of a lack
of funds and facilities. The COM
/ mittee On college work is now re-
considering this recommendation
and re-evaluating the need of an
established post at the university.
Ii is possible that some new ideas
on the subject will be presented to
the convention.
The proposed administrative as
sistamt 10 the Bishop could be eth
er a laynan or a clergyman. He
would relieve the Bishop of having
to attend personally to a multitude
of minor business items, and also
coordinate and be in charge, as an
executive secretary, diocesan pub
lie relations, property manage
ment, financial care, and other
things.
The assistant director of Christ
ian Education would be needed as
more and more churches in the dio-
cese start using the NEW curricu-
lum." This year we'll over half of
the church schools are using at
least part of the curriculum. Next
year nearly all will, including sew
eral large Wilmington parishes. st.
Andrews Church, Wilmington, is
the only city parish using the COM
plete curriculum at the present
time.
The new curriculum of the
Episcopal Church concerns itself
with bringing Christianity into
everyday life through family wor
ship and a new approach in church
school training.
