Final plans have been made
for extension classes in pas-
toral counseling to begin Sep-
tember 8 at First Christian
church, NW 36 and Walker.
The classes are a joint proj-
ect of the First Christian
church and Phillips university,
Enid.
The fully accredited school
of pastoral theology will offer
the master of pastoral counsel-
ing degree. It will be the city's
first graduate seminary.
"THE EDUCATION of the
minister, in the seminary, lays
emphasis on his understanding
of the gospel: in the Scriptures,
in the history of the church, in
the theological structure of
Christian thought, and in the
skills employed in the worship,
preaching, and administration,
which are the minister's usual
work," Stephen J. England,
dean of Phillips university,
said.
Dean England believes that
the minister is also becoming
more and more the personal
counselor.
"For this function, the min-
ister vitally needs to supple-
ment his theological study with

"THE PROGRAMS of study
in the course of pastoral coun-
seling are intended to meet
this need,” he added.
The faculty believes that it is
their duty to bring about a
closer relationship between re-
ligion and psychology by a
deeper appreciation and ex-
planation of our mutual roles.
"Perhaps the most important
work that a minister does from
day to day, is that of counsel-
ing," Rev. Bill Alexander, pas-
tor of the First Christian
church, said.
"In this graduate seminary
we are attempting to give the
finest of psychological gradu-
ate training to ministers of all
faiths so that they will be more
effective counselors,” Mr. Al-
exander vadded.

The new organization is to be
known as the Aero Fellowship
of the Assemblies of God. The
fellowship will mean faster
transportation for evangelists,
missionaries, and ministers

Membership is open to mem-
bers of the Assemblies of God
who hold current pilot’s certifi-
cates, and associate member-
ships will be given persons in-
terested in aviation and objec-
tives of the fellowship.

Located halfway between
Yukon and Piedmont, the
branch church school is sup-
ported jointly by the Methodist
congregations in those two
towns.
The seventh extension school
points up one of the greatest
needs in present-day religion,
Dr. Parker feels. It is the need
to take Christian worship priv-
ileges to the rural community,
since emphasis has been
placed for many years on the
city church program.
ARCHIE STOW, a local (not
ordained) preacher, heads a
weekly church school session
in a rural community nine
miles south of Choctaw. It is
sponsored by the Choctaw con-
gregation.
Following the weekly church
school, transportation is ar-
ranged for many to attend Sun-
day morning worship services
at the Choctaw church. Mr.
Stow is the father of Rev. John
Stow, Jet Methodist pastor.
Dr. Parker feels 370 is a con-
servative estimate of the num-
ber benefited by the current
extension school plan. He cur-
rently is lining up lay mem-
bers and personnel of other
churches in the Oklahoma City
district to start more schools.

A Cordial Welcome To All
MRS. EARL Brassfield,
chairman of the commission on
missions at Hillcrest, one of
the city's newest Methodist con-
gregations, heads one of the
most beneficial extension proj-
ects.
With other workers from the
sponsoring church, she regu-
larly visits a small nursing
home, Hilltop Rest home, where
elderly women are given a
great deal of personal at-
tention.
Visitors manicure the resi-
dent’s nails, fix their hair and
make them know that they are
interested.
"We have no organized
plan," Mrs. Brassfield ex-
plained. "Sometimes we just
chat with them and play the
piano. They like that best."
ALWAYS THERE is Bible
reading, prayer, Sunday
school lesson or brief devotion-
al. On special occasions such
as Christmas, Thanksgiving
and during vacation church
school, the women take chil-
dren from the Hillcrest church
to the home for singing.
There are about nine women
patients in the home.
"We purposely picked a
small home,” the church lead-
er said, "because we felt
there might be more need.
Larger ones may not be so
likely to be neglected, we felt."
Dr. Parker is particularly
proud of this venture, now
about a year old.

ting settled this week in Costa
Rica, where for a year they'll
attend a Spanish language
school. This will add one more
to the many years they have
spent preparing for their cho-
sen work.
Dr. and Mrs. James Morse
flew to Costa Rica three days
ago on the first leg of a trip
to northern Colombia, where
they will spend their lives as
medical missionaries.
Mrs. Morse (Esther) has
spent practically all her life
getting ready for the role she
will fill as a registered nurse
and wife of a mission doctor.
She was born in another
South American mission field,
Brazil, where her parents have
been evangelistic missionaries
for 37 years.
THEY ARE two appointees
of the Southern Baptist foreign
missions board, and will work
at a Baptist mission hospital
at Barranquilla, on the Magda-
lena river.
Parents of a 3% year-old
daughter, Martha Ruth, the
Morses eventually will reach
their assignment post by small
river boat.
The physician, a specialist in
Internal medicine, will join the
staff of the mission hospital
and Mrs. Morse will serve on

basis upir Martha Ruth

will be enrolled in an Ameri-
