UNITED CHURCHMEN’S
LEAGUE TO BE FORMED
BY REFORMED CHURCH
A plan for a permanent men’s organi-
zation in the Reformed Church in the
U. S., which, will muster its laymen
into a more active service for the
Church, is to be presented to the Gen-
eral Synod of the denomination at its
triennial meeting in Indianapolis in
May.
Elder Wm. W. Anspach, Milton, Pa.,
a member of the Executive Committee
of General Synod, is the Chairman of
the Executive Committee of the Lay-
men’s Missionary Movement, and was
presiding officer of the recent Reformed
Churchmen’s Congress.
It is proposed that the organization
shall be known as “The United Church-
men’s League.” Its purpose will be to
develop co-operative effort among the
men of the Church for the work of the
Church, especially in evangelism, ste-
wardship and missions. The aim is to
have in each congregation a local unit
of the League which shall maintain or-
ganic connection with the denominational
organization.
The congregational unit under the
proposed plan will be free to organize
and conduct its work as local conditions
will warrant, but its purpose will at
least embrace the three objectives of the
League.
The first concerted movement to enlist
the men of the Reformed Church in the
work of the Church was made twenty-
one years ago through the ILaymen’s
Missionary Movement. The General
Synod is constituted of an equal number
of ministers and laymen (elders), and
at every meeting of the District Synod
and the Classes, elders are members.
Beyond this the average layman has not
been ‘actively identified with the work
of the Church. The present plan grows
out of the Reformed Churchmen’s Con-
gress, attended by more than 500 men,
which was held last November in the
historic Salem Reformed Church, Har-
risburg, Pa.
