    Higher Education Conference Focuses on Jesus 
 
    The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s annual  "Critical Issues in Higher 
Education" conference will spend a week examining "Our Work in Higher 
Education: Where is Jesus In This?"  The Conference will run from July 17 
through July 23 at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico. 
 
    Participants in the conference will share their personal encounters 
with Jesus and examine how these have influenced their work in higher 
education. 
 
    The conference has been designed for faculty, administrators, 
chaplains, campus ministers and students, as well as middle governing body 
personnel involved in higher education ministries.  Conference planners 
hope that as participants come to understand how these personal encounters 
with Jesus are formative to their work and vocation, there will be an 
increase in the acknowledgment of the authenticity and value of one 
another's service on behalf of the church. 
 
    The "Critical Issues" conference began in the summer of 1994 under the 
leadership of the Rev. Harry Smith, retired president of Austin College, 
and former campus ministers.  The current conference director is the Rev. 
Clyde O. Robinson, Jr., the long time national staff person responsible for 
higher education ministries and students' ministries until his retirement 
in 1997.
