A monthly column of names in the news. In Glendale, Calif., Larry Ward has resigned from a key job with Gospel Light Press to go with a new Chris tian organization in Washington D.C. (Ward was formerly managing editor of Christian L ife and the Baptist Bul letin.) The new project was still being listed as hush-hush although enough “ leaks” had long since taken it off the secret list. But most evan gelical publications were withholding the nature of the new venture until official release sometime next month. Also linked with the project are Carl F. H. Henry of Fuller Theological Sem inary and L. Nelson Bell, (father-in- law of Evangelist Billy Graham). Another west-coaster heading East is the Rev. Richard C. Halverson, who resigned as of May 1 as an assistant minister at the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood. Halverson has just been appointed executive director of the International Council of Chris tian Leadership replacing Abraham Vereide. ICCL works primarily among political leaders and numbers Presi dent Eisenhower as a supporter. Hon orary president of ICCL is Princess Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and the president is Senator Price Daniels (D. Tex.). Working in association with ICCL (see above) is the newly-launched Revival Fellowship Team headed by Irish-born Evangelist J. Edwin Orr. Their first series of meetings were started in New Zealand in February and plans call for the meetings to continue there until November. Meet ings in Auckland had to be trans ferred from the largest church in town to the Town Hall where crowds of 1600 nightly attended.
