PASTOR GENERAL'S
REPORT
TO THE MINISTRY OF THE
WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
NEWS FROM THE PASTOR GENERAL'S OFFICE
SEPTEMBER 18, 1981
NEWS! We've got NEWS! Last Friday night at Bible Study Mr. Armstrong an
nounced there will be an International Edition of The GOOD NEWS magazine!
On his recent trip to Europe Mr. Armstrong was told that many non-English
speaking brethren have no access to The GOOD NEWS, The WORLDWIDE NEWS nor
YOUTH 81. Some of our Regional Directors have tried to ·translate signif
icant articles from these publications for the members in their areas. But
the efforts greatly varied and absorbed the already over-strained·rcsources
of the language departments.
Various departments here in Pasadena joined efforts to see how we could
provide each language section with a standard magazine that cornl::-�n'.!s vital
articles from all three publications. They suggested a 24-page
(
blAck and
white edition of The GOOD NEWS entitled The GOOD NEWS OF TOMORROW'S WORLD.
This title works best in the other languages.
The material from Th�� GOOD NEWS in English can be translated vell in
advance. Same for material from YOUTH 81. The deadline for a1ticles from
The WORLDWIDE NEWS will have to be shorter to be certain the copy 1.s still
11
newsy.

Dexter Faulkner, Managing Editor of the English GOOD NEWS, will be respon
sible for putting the new magazine together.
·rhat way each edition
(German, French, Spanish and Dutch) will basically be the same. We want to
11
speak with one voice"--worldwide.
But each Regional Director will have a three-page
11
window
11
in each issue
that could be used for items of local interest. This might take the form of
a one-page article in The WORLDWIDE NEWS section or a two-page article in
The GOOD NEWS section. Or even a three-page article using both. He may
prefer to run the copy prepared for that section as is. The choice is up to
him.
