PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, March 6, 1981
FROM MINISTERIAL SERVICES
1981 Festival Map
Reproduced in this Pastor General's Report is a map showing the festival
boundaries for 1981. Hopefully this will clear up any uncertainty you
might have had the last few weeks about where your congregation has been
assigned.
Two portions of the map will probably be hard to make out: the Los
Angeles area and the New York City area. In the L.A. area, the Glendale,
Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Reseda churches are assigned to Squaw Valley;
the others are assigned to Tucson. In the New York City area, all of the
churches--Union, Montvale, Manhattan, Long Island and Brooklyn-Queens--are
assigned to Mt. Pocono.
Please make sure that the Feast Adviser in your congregation(s) plans to
attend where his church is assigned, even if a large proportion of the
congregation desires to transfer. If the current Feast Adviser would
like to transfer, please appoint a new one and let us know as soon as
possible. Send his name, address, telephone number, and computer index
number to the Festival Office as soon as possible.

French Department Activities The French Department in Pasadena has now
completed going over the 1981 edition of Mr. Armstrong's book, THE MISSING
DIMENSION IN SEX. Before printing, every article and booklet must be
carefully examined since our printers don't know a word of French. This
is a huge task that requires team unity. This edition is now ready for
a planned print run of 25,000 copies.
For the last several months, Mr. Armstrong has been writing powerful, hard
hitting ads that have been placed in large-circulation and influential
papers such as the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and especially the
Wall Street Journal. Plans now call for translating these very same ads
into French and placing them in Francophone newspapers published in Canada!
Mr. Rex Morgan, minister from New Zealand who works in the Auckland office,
was here for the Ministerial Refreshing Program. During this time he had
the opportunity to talk to Mr. Apartian about plans for a French advertis
ing campaign in the Pacific islands, including Vanuatu (the new name of
New Hebrides) and Tahiti.
The total incoming mail for January of this year in Pasadena was 3,054
letters. This is an increase of 115% over last year! Requests for THE
MISSING DIMENSION IN SEX continue to come in following Mr. Armstrong's
letter offering the book. To date, the number of requests for the new
book is over 18,000.
Believe it or not, a 1972 advertisement in Reader's Digest is still bear
ing fruit! The small cut-out coupon offering the French booklet, THE
SEVEN LAWS OF SUCCESS, showed up among our mail at the beginning of
February.
