PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MAY 4, 1984
Impressions of God's Church
We heard from a number of people who attended local Worldwide Church of God
services for the first time. They said they were very inspired and moved by
the friendliness and concern of the brethren. One man brought money for an
offering to services and was somewhat surprised that there was no collec
tion.
The PLAIN TRUTH In the Classroom
The high quality and educational value of The PLAIN TRUTH is recognized by
teachers of various grade levels in countries around the world. From the
Filipino teacher who wishes to enhance the moral and spiritual upbringing
of her pupils, to the professor in India who wants to teach his students how
to think, many educators have used The PLAIN TRUTH and our other literature
in classroom situations.
A few students have written to order literature recommended, or in some
cases required by their instructors.
Following are some letters from
teachers who have contacted the Church:
I a� very grateful for your having furnished me several pieces of
literature, including The PLAIN TRUTH magazine. Especially in
this chaotic and sick society, these reading materials are en
lightening and give me a spiritual awakening, as well as an in
depth explanation of the causes of the present worldwide social,
political and economic upheaval.
As a classroom teacher, I am able to utilize effectively the
principles gathered from your precious literature in giving my
students the appropriate discipline and encouraging them to
observe moral, spiritual and social laws to enhance their up
bringing.
H.M. (San Juan, Metro Manila PHILIPPINES)
Please send the PT to me in India. I am a professor at a college
there and would like to use the magazine as a classical reference
for my students. I like it because it is of HIGH QUALITY and
THINKING. I would like to train my students in higher thinking
with it. My doctorate is in the Cultural Arts.
Dr. A.D. (Bardoli, INDIA)
Working with young adults today has become increasingly more dif
ficult for the classroom teacher. There are many areas which the
teachers are either not allowed or haven't the time to talk to
the students about.
To somewhat help this problem in my own
classroom, I am starting an "Information Table." This table will
hopefully contain information on a wide variety of problem areas
of adolescence.
Using the Index to Free Material, I have found the titles of the
following information which I feel would benefit my students. If
still available would you send me 30 copies of the following
material: ALCOHOLISM--A WORLDWIDE CURSE, THE DILEMMA OF DRUGS,
THE SILENT EPIDEMIC, and BUILDING A HAPPY FAMILY. Any help would
be appreciated and well used, I guarantee.
