We were delighted at the New York Center lots of Family members from other centers visit us. This month began with the arrival of Carl Rapkins from Toronto. Carl inspired us with his, clear approach to the Principle and his prayers of such strength and boldness. Very soon after, Margie Stahon and Joseph: Sheftick from Los Angeles arrived. Margie backed us a fruit-filled cake from a recipe received from the spirit world.

In the middle of the month, I walked into the living room to find two dignified looking gentlemen, who I found out were Anthony Brooke and Walter Voilker. Anthony Brooke was here to inform us of another New Age group, the Emissaries of Divine Light. This group also goes under another name on campus, the Ontological Society. We contacted the group and sever d are now hearing Principle at our Claremont Center.

Mr. Voilker gave us copies of "Silver Birch" and Mr. Brooke, "Revelation for a New Age", a book with a chapter on our Leader. Travis Jones and High Spurgin from Washington and Wayne Miller from Rochester are staying with us for the weekend. Travis is teaching us many of the songs from the Washington Center which will be included in the new songbook.

With great joy we report that we have two new members in the New York Family: Eleana Reynoso, who is from Peru and comes from a Catholic background, and David Rice, from Florida. David had planned to become a Southern Baptist minister. His testimony, which you will all someday be very interested to hear, is still unfolding.

We have also begun a new program of team teaching in all-day teach-ins. We have divided the members into small groups, which are in the process of perfecting teaching techniques. We advertise the teach-ins in the Village Voice and we pamphlet the campuses once a month; each team takes one Saturday a month and presents the entire Principle with a lunch break and coffee in the morning.

The New York Center went to Washington for four days in response to Allan Wood's 2:30 a.m. phone call. We lobbied at Capitol Hill; and we all broadened our knowledge and perspective on the whole Vietnamese situation. We felt tremendous vitality at really being at Father's front line; I know this gave us great incentive for the future.
