    NCC Delegates Sought 
 
    by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The ecumenical relations department of the Office of the 
General Assembly is seeking the names of persons to serve as Presbyterian 
delegates to the National Council of Churches.  The delegation will be 
elected at the 1999 General Assembly in Fort Worth, Texas. 
 
    According to the Rev. Theo Gill, "We hope to include a number of youth 
and young adults who have been active in ecumenical affairs." 
 
    Gill said the primary responsibility of delegates is to attend the 
annual three-to-four-day General Assembly of the National Council, normally 
held in November. Each delegate's term is four years.  If a delegate 
volunteers to serve on a committee of the Council, there may be additional 
meetings to attend, he added. 
 
    Names of nominees not elected for service in 1999 will be kept on file 
and considered for other areas of ecumenical service over the next three 
years. 
 
    For more information about how to nominate one's self or another 
person, call (502) 569-5360.  Completed forms must be submitted to the 
Office of the General Assembly by Dec.31, 1998.
