Pastors Course Includes Christian Ed Major Pastors Course Includes Christian Education Major New students now have a choice between a Greek and a Chris- tian Education major in the Pastors Course. ‘Two problems prompted this change for 1966-67. First, many students who were unable to cope with Greek were forced to change to an- other course. Second, a definite need exists for pastors to have a better understanding of sound Christian Education princi- ples. This department seeks to train and equip students who are interested in becoming pastors. Mr. Wemp, the director, ex- pressed his deep desire to see men leave this course with a bur- den for lost souls. Also, he longed to see men prepared to win others to Christ and to edify Christians. In addition to pastoral training, this department handled the responsibility of evangelism education. Every Moody fresh- man took a course in this category: Personal Evangelism. A new class with evangelism emphasis, Open-air Campaigning, began in September. Department head, Mr. Sumner Wemp, gives practical suggestions.

Mr. Cook Continues To Update Missions MISSIONS “Our subjects are under constant scrutiny to keep in line with contemporary conditions,’ declared Mr. Cook, chairman of the Missions Department. ‘This department attempted to fam- iliarize students with missionary methods, challenges, and problems by studying the Scriptures and by considering opi- nions and ideas of today’s people. A change, initiated in the fall semester, combined the Foreign and Jewish Mission Departments into one department: Mis- sions. Beginning missionary students selected either a Foreign Missions major or a Jewish Missions major. Plans were made this year for the addition of a Home Missions major. The two majors of the department trained students for specific types of service. For example, the Jewish mission courses aimed to equip men and women with knowledge of Jewish his- tory and culture. This specialized training centered in courses such as the History of Jewish Thought, Jewish Customs, He- brew, and Trends of Modern Jewish Thought. One requirement for every missionary student provided an opportunity to exercise knowledge gained through class study. During the summer prior to graduation, each student spent six weeks in a missionary work. Students chose a field of service from possibilities arranged by the department. ALBERT J.
