PASTOR'S REPORT POLICY Because of a significa�t number of requests
for the Pastor's Report from ministers who are not pas�ors of churches,
and from non-ordained people, we feel it is necessary to restate and
further clarify the policy regarding who should receive the report.·
The following is our statement of purpose for the Pastor's Report:
The weekly Pastor's Report is designed to provide all church
pastors of the Worldwide Church of God with a medium by which
they can receive late-breaking news of activities within the
Church and its multifaceted worldwide Work. It provides the
pastors and key people in top management positions in the Church
and in Ambassador College with information regarding important
developments quickly, systematically, accurately, and in
advance of other church members, church and college employees
and the general public. The Pastor's Report highlights the
latest news in a succinct fashion which in turn is to be
disseminated to the churches by the church pastors during the
announcement portion of Sabbath services.
It should be clear that the Pastor's Report is not solely for the
personal use of the pastors of churches, but more importantly, for the
purpose of disseminating news of the Work to the entire church. There
fore, the Pastor's Report is not to be construed as a "status symbol.'C
Other ministers who may qualify to receive the Pastor's Report should
meet most of the following criteria: 1) Should be full time on the
payroll of the Worldwide Church of God; 2) Should be taking the
church 1/2 to 3/4 of the time when the assigned pastor is not there;
3) Should not be able to obtain a copy of the Pastor's Report from
the pastor of his area in time to use it in services for the benefit
of the.entire church.
All additional names of those ministers who should receive the
Pastor's Report, based on the above criteria, should be forwarded
through the area co-ordinator to Mr. Ron Dart, or through the
regional director to Mr. Les McCullough.
We hope that the above has cleared up any questions our readers may
have had. If anyone feels that further clarification is needed, then
those in the U.S. ministry may write Mr. Ron Dart and those ministers
in the International Division may contact Mr. Les McCullough.
NEW REFERRAL PROGRAM As a part of the Work's continuing efforts to
expand its outreach, Mr. Ted Armstrong recently approved the creation
of a new "referral" program by Subscriber Development. This new
program provides simple cards or coupons for people to send us names
and addresses of friends and relatives whom they think will be
genuinely interested in the Work's literature. (Records tend to
indicate that quite a number of new members in recent years have
come into the Church through "referral" -- by being introduced to
