TIVE RESPONSIBILITIES--CONTINUES
A.I.C.F., LEGAL AND FINANCIAL
ADVISOR TO HERBERT W. ARMSTRONG
FEBRUARY 27, 1981
Stanley R. Rader has decided to resign from his executive responsibilities
as Treasurer and Board Member, effective March 1. He had decided to make
this resignation effective early in January, 1979. But the sudden inva­
sion of the Attorney General's Office lawsuit on January 3, 1979, made it
necessary for him to stay on and direct our legal defense until the law­
suit was dropped.
On Wednesday, February 25, a congress of leading ministers and office
managers from all points around the world heard the Pastor General, Mr.
Herbert W. Armstrong, define and reemphasize the spiritual organization
of the Church, and update them on the plunge forward now under way as we
enter the homestretch of the Work of the Living God.
The following was the crux of Mr. Armstrong's address to the congress of
ministers.
Message to Congress of Leading Ministers from all parts of the
world, at Pasadena, February 25, 1981.

f

KINGDOM OF GOD, and to acquaint you with the plans for this intensified
