                     Curriculum transfer recommended 
 
    The committee on Christian Education and Theological Institutions is 
recommending that the Assembly transfer the entire curriculum enterprise 
from the Presbyterian Publishing Corporation to the Congregational 
Ministries Division of the General Assembly Council. 
 
    The committee is also recommending the Assembly approve a covenant with 
Auburn Theological Seminary.  Auburn is an independent theological 
institution which operates in partnership with Union Theological Seminary 
in New York.  It was founded by the Synod of Geneva in 1818. 
 
    The committee currently is wrestling with issues related to campus 
ministry.  These include an overture from the Presbytery of Shenandoah to 
adopt a vision statement for campus ministry, and an overture from the 
Presbytery of Detroit asking that the Assembly provide "adequate budget and 
staff support" for campus ministry.
