96174              Advisory Delegates Announced 
 
                      by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--The Office of the General Assembly has announced the 
roster of advisory delegates to the 208th General Assembly (1996) in 
Albuquerque, N.M.  There are four categories of advisory delegates: 
ecumenical advisory delegates (4), overseas advisory delegates (8), 
theological student advisory delegates (30) and youth advisory delegates 
(86). 
 
     Ecumenical advisory delegates are invited to attend the Assembly at 
the recommendation of the General Assembly Council upon nomination by the 
Advisory Committee on Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations. 
 
     Overseas advisory delegates are chosen by the Worldwide Ministries 
Division from among Presbyterians who are serving as missionaries in other 
countries. 
 
     Theological student advisory delegates come from each of the 11 
theological institutions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the 
Evangelical Seminary in Puerto Rico, with which the Presbyterian Church has 
longstanding ties, and three other theological schools that have averaged 
at least 10 Presbyterian students over the past three years.  The process 
for their election is established by the Committee on Theological Education 
and the students' presbyteries of jurisdiction. 
 
     Youth advisory delegates are elected by their presbyteries, with half 
of the presbyteries represented each year. 
 
     The advisory delegates are
