The Council has been misrepresented by some critics as being a “pro-this” or “against-that” organization and that it claims to speak for the churches. Nothing is further from the truth.

When the National Council of Churches speaks on issues of Christian concern, it is the elected or appointed leaders of the member denominations who together speak to their churches on these issues.

Today, the National Council of Churches, together with over 1,000 county, city and state councils of churches, symbolizes one of the most important developments since the Reformation. It is an expression of the growing unity and cooperation of the Protestant and Eastern Orthodox churches of America.

HUNGARIAN SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION IN COLORADO

In the fall of 1960 the Department of Slavic and Eastern Languages and the Center for Slavic and East European Studies introduced the Hungarian language and literature into the curriculum of the University of Colorado. Hungarian Studies, during their two-year existence, have

shown notable development. The students have become acquainted with the history and culture of Hungary, as well as its literature and language. Many Hungarian-born students also pursue these courses of

study. A greater knowledge of Hungarian culture and history on the part of the coming generation of educated Americans will have a

marked effect upon the future of Hungary itself. The University has provided this opportunity. — To encourage those students who register for Hungarian studies, the Hungarian Scholarship Foundation has been set up. Those individuals who merit aid through their high academic standing and stringent financial situation may apply to the Foundation

for assistance. Your understanding aid is solicited for the realization of this cultural task. Donations, which are deductible for income tax purposes, should be made out and sent to the following address:
