UPDATE ON MR. RADER'S ACTIVITIES ABROAD
MAY 2
1980
Mr. Rader returned to Pasadena this past weekend of the 24th and 25th
after his extended trip abroad on behalf of Christ's Apostle, Mr. Herbert
w.
Armstrong. After a brief interlude in Pasadena he proceeded directly
to Tucson to confer with Mr. Armstrong.
Mr. Rader will be leaving shortly again for Cairo, Warsaw, and Manila. In
Cairo, he will be speaking to the Institute of Diplomatic Affairs which
is an integral part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and will also
speak at the University of Cairo and the American University of Cairo. In
Warsaw, Mr. Rader will finalize plans for Mr. Armstrong's visit later this
year.
As reported earlier, Mr. Rader will be the keynote speaker at an annual
convention of the Deans, Professors, and Administrators of the 40 law
schools of the Philippines in Cebu on May 22. During his visit to the
Philippines, he will also be speaking elsewhere and making arrangements
for Mr. Armstrong's campaign, which has now been tentatively set for
Manila, immediately following the Feast of Tabernacles this Fall.
FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
Seven Ministers Get the Nod
Mr. Herbert Armstrong has given new direction, a new format and new goals
for the Summer Educational Program. An important part of the new program
will be the use of ministers from the field and employees from the Pasa­
dena campus. Slated to aid at the Orr facility are seven ministers, six­
teen employees (including four of the recently announced ministerial
trainees) and four Ambassador College faculty members making the staff
the most mature ever. Ministers getting the nod this summer will be Dick
Ames, Mel Dahlgren, Randy Dick, Russell Duke, Mike Hanisko, Ron Lohr, and
Bill Pack. The program this summer will be an educational program in all
aspects.
The curtailing of some activities and expanding of other activities at SEP
has been based on ministerial and parental input. Parents haven't wanted
to send their young people if they weren't sure that the policies and
activities reflected the true values and high standards that Mr. Armstrong
has been restoring in Ambassador College. With an outstanding staff that
will focus on training our youth in all aspects of sportsmanship, fair
play, and personal growth--with emphasis on character development and
building an attitude of striving for excellence in their personal lives
based on the seven laws of success--SEP promises to be of tremendous value
to our youth this year.
Also at SEP this summer, Mr. Armstrong has approved many of the evange­
lists and other faculty members going to Orr for a week at a time to speak
to the campers and report the progress of the camp.
