At present, income from our cassette tape program is about $80,000
per year. Since the Human Potential Center is under the Church now,
that income co�s directly into the Church to help finance these
seminars sinee most of them are admission free. Of course, all are
0
free to church ancr-A.I.C.F. members. Some of the seminars n�
ctvailable are: Keys to· Family Enrichment; Marital Compatibility;
Talent and Skill Development; Alcohol Awareness; Enriching Your
Career; Finding Your Personal Identity and many _others. If you are
interested in testing the.program in your area and want a list of all
the lectures available, please call Charles Scott on the WATS line or
write to him at th� Human Potential Center.
Looking at it statistically with our present response, if we had fifty
speakers, averaging two hundred at a seminar, that would be 10,000
people attending. If each speaker conducted five lectures a year, that
would bring exposure to 50,000 people. Of that number, 18,500 would
be totally� people. Those added to our mailing list would be
8,695. However, our average seminar size for the lat few have been
400 in attendance instead of 200. If that kind of attendance continues,
it doubles all of our above figures. We would end up contacting
37,000 new people and adding 17,390 new people to our list. This could
lc�ad to many new donors, co-workers and members as God calls!
Please feel free to write in and ask questions or send in suggestions.
We will keep you all updated as more data becomes available.

P.MBASSADOR GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY TO OPEN IN AUGUST The Ambassador
Graduate School of Theology will-begin operation this autumn in
0
Pasadena. The school has been specifically designed to serve the
needs of the Worldwide Church of God ministry on a short-term as well
as long-term basis. This will include much more than just formal degree
programs: a number of educational services for the entire church and
ndnistry are being planned.
At a recent forum for students, faculty, and employees of the college
(Thursday, April 13), Garner Ted Armstrong stated that "Ambassador
Graduate School of Theology has as its purpose to become the intellectual,
spiritual, and sociological heart of the Church around which would
C'.enter a variety of important activities directly enhancing the growth
and development of the Church." To fulfill such a purpose, the graduate
school will need the participation of. ministers near and far.
A number of programs, well into the planning stages, will provide
immediate services to the ministry at large as well as highly concen
trated service to those who are coming to Pasadena on sabbatical. We
are planning intensive two-to three-week workshops to be held on the
Pasadena campus and shorter seminars in centralized field locations.
Presented at these events will be strategies for church growth and
development and in-depth discussions on church doctrine and the Syste
matic Theology Project, as well as new concepts for developing pro
fessional skills. Other subjects will include practical ministerial
functions such as preaching and counseling and lectures designed to
O
give new biblical knowledge.
. An immediate out-growth of the graduate school will be a ministerial
journal. Again, the focus will be on serving the broad need� of today's
