Show S.L. Baptist Pastor 2ht Suit akf Sribunr Attends Convention The 126th annual business meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention, recently held in Pittsburg, Pa., gave messengers" (delegates) elected from 36,000 churches an opportunity to review the work members are carrying out through 20 agencies and boards. It also gives messengers an opportunity for fellowship. The Rev. Charles Ray, pastor of Millcreek Baptist Church, 1515 E. 4500 South was his congregations messenger. He said the business meetings are run in a democratic manner, with each messenger having the opportunity to speak and make recommendations on any proposal. But that is the way the entire Southern Baptist Convention is run. "There is no one man who says this must be done, Mr. Ray said, explaining each church is an autonomous body. Individual churchps are not bound by any resolutions adopted by the convention, even those regarding the budget, Mr. Ray said. Each Church Decides Each church decides what percent of their budget will be sent through the cooperative program in support of the convention, Mr. Ray said. And even though there are agencies producing literature for use in Southern Baptist Sunday Schools and for other activities, an individual church has the final decision in the use of these materials, Mr. Ray said. , During the meeting, messengers elect officers and members of various boards as well as approve the budget and approve reports from the agencies operating within the Convention. In budgeting, the current priority for the Southern Baptist Convention is in foreign missions. It is our hope to give every person in the world the opportunity to respond to the Gospel by the year 2,000, Mr. Ray said'and the convention now has missions in 100 countries. Through Holy Spirit' If the goal of reaching every person by the year 2,000 sounds like a lofty one, Mr. Ray said, other impossible things have happened through prayer. Through the Holy 8pirlt, doors will be opened, which previously have been closed, Mr. Ray believes, pointing out Christianity has survived in Communist countries in spite of government suppression, and Christianity has even reached India, where the Southern Baptists have 12 congregations. This past year the Southern Baptists have seen the greatest advance in missionary work in the history of the convention. The Southern Baptist Convention was founded in 184S. Member churches for years were found mainly in the southern United States, but today the convention has no geographical boundries, with work in all 50 states and territories of the United States, in addition to the foreign mission work. Pioneer Missions' Because of that, sites for the annual meeting are chosen on the basis of the impact the meeting will have on the city. Although the meetings have been held in Atlanta Ga., and New Orleans, La., recently sites in other regions of the country have been chosen. The Pittsburg site was chosen because the Southern Baptists have been organized there only since 1958. It could be considered a thrust in the direction of pioneer missions, Mr. Ray believes. And that has been one of the criteria recently in choosing locations. In fact, the 1989 meeting will be held in Las Vegas, Nev., to build up the Christian witness in the city. Southern Baptists tend to have more and smaller congregations than many denominations, although there are exceptions to that, like the 20,000 member First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas. But overall, Southern Baptists tend to be more evan- - Spiritual Music Encore Set By Suzelle Suzelle, will return for a presentation of spiritual music on Sunday at 6.30 p.m. at Southeast Christian Church, 1881 E.

Not a Spectator Sport Mr. Ray believes Christianity was not intended as a spectator and believes Christians sport, Churches should be involved in active witnessing. Mr. Ray, hat lived in Utah for 30 years, pastorlng churches in Rose Park, Holladay, Roosevelt and Draggerton. The Roosevelt church was the first Southern Baptist congregation in Utah, Mr, Ray said. That was begun in 1944. While ministering at the various congregations, Mr. Ray had a part in staring several of the Southern Baptist congregations around the state churches which are still going strong. Besides serving at various churches, Mr. Ray served seven ears on the Home Mission Board in Saturday Morning, June i5 1983 Sectll ' i tail. He began the Millcreek congregation in 1969 and the current building was completed in 1979. i'11, , i - ..j isdnir't i'i'. mi Bishop to Host Media Meet The Most Rev.

The major surprise to the fishing buff was that he didnt know Id be fishing on State Street.

A mid-195- Unitarian Church Professor To Lecture U. Professor E.K. Hunt, chairman of the economics department of the University of Utah will be the guest speaker Sunday at the First Unitarian Church, 569 S. 1300 East, during the Summer Forum Series. Dr. Hunt will speak on Economic Taboos and Economic Heresy, pertaining to the current. distribution pattern of societys resources. During his address, Professor Hunt will attempt to establish a connection between domestic political problems, international issues and our present economic order. He hopes, through the address, people will assess for themselves the interrelationship between our silent economic system that operates every day upon our lives and the serious social problems of inequity, racism, poverty, cold war and the threat of World War III. Dr. Hunt has written four textbooks and has had at least 40 articles published in academic journals. He has been politically active for the last 20 years in the areas of legal issues. rights and anti-wa- r The public is invited to attend the forum, scheduled to begin at 10.30 a.m. A question-answe- r period will follow the presentation.

Mr. Iiams came to Hilltop Church front Crossroads United Methodist Church in Grand Junction, Colo., where he had served as pastor for seven years. He replaces the Rev. Dale McArthur, who left the Sandy congregation to become pastor of a new church in the Denver area. The Crossroads congregation was at about the same point in growth when Mr. Iiams took over the congregation as Hilltop is now. Hilltop church has recently completed the first phase of a church building program and Mr. Iiams is looking forward to participating with the con d, gregation in furthur building of the church. The Hilltop building itself makes a theological statement to Mr. Iiams. He points out the front wall of the church has the shape of a crucifix on it and the shape jof the church itself is a crucifix. Its more obvious from the inside and more obvious at night, he said, adding he be- lieves the architect included Christian symbolism on purpose in the unusual building to say something about the congregation. Exciting Church He has found the Hilltop congregation to be an exciting church. During his first month In Sandy he has found the congregation to be young, 2 Churches Slate Two area churches will hold Vacation Bible Schools beginning Mon- day at the churches.
