Medical form THIRTEEN MILLION REFUGEES According to 1978 survey report of the U.S. Committee for Refugees, there are now more than thirteen million refugees, victims of war, intolerance, and social unrest. They are in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Church World Service, the service arm of the Na­tional Council of Churches, is asking cooperating denomina­tions, including the United Church of Christ, to “sponsor” and resettle 8,000 to 10,000 of these refugees as rapidly as possible. More than 2,000 congregations will be needed to help with this enormous effort. Currently, there are about 100,000 Vietnamese, Laotians, and Cambodians in refugee camps in Southeast Asia, with more arriving daily by foot across heavily guarded borders or by sea as the now highly publicized “boat people.” In addition, there is the long awaited but still inadequate Latin America program for resettling 500 persons, and there are other refugees from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in camps in Austria and Italy. If your congregation is interested in exploring the pos­sibility of serving as a refugee sponsor, write to Ms. Alfrida Kohl, Service Division, United Church Board for World Ministries, 475 Riverside Drive, New York, N.Y. 10027. You will receive full information by return mail. Ed’s Clipsheet, Nov. 1978 NEWS ITEMS Hammond, Indiana — The Faith United Church of Christ dedicated a new parsonage on May 27th.

XXXVI, no. 1, marks 100 years of continuous existence of the official quarterly of the WARC. The first issue of the publication ap­peared in January 1879 with the title: Catholic Presbyterian. Throughout the hunderd years the title has changed six times: Quarterly Register (1886- 1936), Presbyterian Register (1937- 1948), The Presbyterian World (1948- 55), Reformed and Presbyterian World (1956-70), Reformed World (1970- ). The special centennial issue about to appear carries an editorial by the WARC President, Dr. James I. McCord, Princeton, USA. Concerning the first publication, the Catholic Presbyterian, President McCord writes, “Two quali­ties appeared then that were to charac­terize the World Alliance of Reformed Churches as an organized family. One was the ecumenical scope of commit­ment and the other was the complete absence of organizational machinery and staff.” For the future he comments, “The Reformed World moves into its second century in the confidence that the church belongs to the future and the future belongs to Christ.” A REFORMED COMMENT ON THE NEW VALAMO CONSULTATION Geneva — The Orthodox Task Force of the World Council of Churches has
