Subjects of study and dis cussion ranged from Community Welfare to Church History. These organized groups were a signifi cant influence in the development of a general program of adult ed ucation. Then the Bishop of the diocese decided to wage a cam paign in every parish to combat religious ignorance with religious knowledge through religious dis cussion clubs. All Catholic men’s and women’s societies were asked to collaborate. Spiritual forces of the diocese were mobilized, new approaches were tried, non-join ers and inactive parishioners were invited to participate in the pro gram and see how simple, yet how profitable planned discussion could become. Prospective discus sion club members had to be con tacted and registered, meeting places provided. Transportation had to be made available for those who needed it. Existing' societies co-operated and supplied these needs, along with becoming par ticipants in the adult religious ed ucation program. And many so cieties as “One body in Christ, but severally members of one an other,” in a concerted effort en rolled nearly 7,000 . persons in more than 700 small groups, first of all to talk about religion and secondly to work at translating truths into action and principles into practice. There is no reason why a like co-operation in our Diocese can not bring about simi lar results—no reason why like co-operation in our Diocese can not enable us to reach twice the number of Catholic Public school children now receiving religious instruction. If the Church in Georgia and throughout the world is to grow— if Christ is to be carried into the home and the market place, into the factory and the office, into business and politics, then He must be carried there by informed Catholics. He must be carried there by Catholics who have a thorough knowledge of the Teach ings of Christ, and the will and Apostolic Spirit to let their light “Shine before all men, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father Who is in Heaven.” Plan to attend the forth coming Congress.
