Trinidad Program Files 1964-1973.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48059673

The records were collected by William E. Cox, Arthur Bauer, and Milton J. Olson, Secretaries for South America. Box 1 contains correspondence and ecumenical files. The correspondence is arranged chronologically. The first correspondence file chronicles the process of applying for permission to begin work in Trinidad. The ecumenical files are arranged alphabetically. They contain information on the Caribbean Committee on Joint Christian Action, Christian Action for Development in the Eastern Caribbean, and the Christian Council of Trinidad & Tobago as well as on several ecumenical consultations. Box 2 contains minutes of the advisory group which directed the work of the first attempt to establish a Lutheran congregation in Trinidad. It also contains newsletters and reports. The reports vary from visits of Secretary Cox and Executive Directors Arne Sovik and Earl S. Erb, to reports of missionaries Arthur J. Henne and Wayne A. Holst. Most of Henne's reports deal with the beginnings of Lutheran work, Holst's with the need to change direction to the ecumenical. Henne's pastoral reports are those given to the advisory group but are filed separately under reports rather than with the minutes of the group.
