YOUTH NEWS REPORT From the Eastern Area Youth Conference — April 16, 1972 The Eastern Area youth organiza­tions like to gather together from time to time, at least once in every three months. Lately, these conferences, like many other similar programs are not as well attended as they used to be. Due to the fact that each organization goes through the problem of “age-gap”, the older young people either get mar­ried or leave the youth fellowships be­cause they go away to college, so until the new youth groups reorganize, their activities and programs suffer. The theme at this spring conference, which was held in Carteret, N. J., was “Today’s Man and Woman in the Home, at Work, and in the Church”. It was discussed under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Ullersberger. They talked frankly about the many prob­lems people face today in our modern society as parents, children, and mem­bers of the family. They discussed the issues of the “generation gap”, when older men and women find it difficult to understand the children and youth today. The issues of “patriotism”, col­lege “protests”, the problems of “dress code”, “drugs”, etc. were mentioned. They talked about the creation of man and woman, that they were equal, and both should carry the responsibili­ties. Special attention was given to the “women’s lib” movement. There are women who must work, and others who only do so because of boredom. They discussed the many new job opportuni­ties that are open for women today. “Personally, I disagree with the over­all platform of Women’s Lib”, said Mrs. Elsie Ullersberger. “Yes, I work part­­time, but my family or home were never neglected. I enjoy being a wife and a mother first. I also think, that the two sexes have different thresholds of pa­tience and strength. The women win out with patience and men with strength”. Finally, when they touched upon the subject of “man and woman in the Church”, they agreed that “the Bible makes it clear, that Jesus vigorously promoted the dignity and equality of women in the midst of a male domi­nated society.” They showed towards the solution of many questions, that in the future, there will be greater par­ticipation by women in the churches. The future of our country and church depends upon our young people today. They must be active members of the various organizations in their respec­tive churches, “promote Christianity in the family and follow the path of our Master!” GYÜLEKEZETI ÉLET AKRON, OHIO Templom: 2625 Copley Road Telefon: (216) 666-9777 Lelkipásztor: Dömötör Tibor esperes 1657 Centerview Drive, Akron, Ohio 44321 Telefon: (216) 666-9978 Az elmúlt három hónap alatt gyüle­kezetünk tagjai és barátai 16,200 dol­lárt adományoztak a Lórántffy Otthon céljaira.
