PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, April 3, 1981
Page 3
In no sense is this Report from week to week for public distribution.
We publish The PLAIN TRUTH for that purpose. Even the GOOD NEWS and the
WORLDWIDE NEWS are restricted publications for communication and instruc
tion to our members.
As always, however, certain things may appear in the Report, such as
inspiring and encouraging news of the Work, my contact with various
churches or my public addresses, letters from ministers having attended
the Refresher Program, or such non-confidential material may be shared
with your local congregations.
