S IMS I should clarify my intentions about changing the scene of my ministry after this Spring when I receive my doctorate. I am ve r y anxious to devote myself to a challenging, creative ministry with a church sufficiently progressive to provide the resources and leadership to implement such a work. I have no preference as to part of the country, size of city, etc. My experience and education sho u ld provide sufficient flexibility to fit a number of situations. My special inter e sts and study have centered upon: the dialogue between science and Christianity; human sexuality; counseling; and congregational educational programs. In addition to pulpit presentations and traditional class teaching I am interested in personal encounter groups, sensitivity training, and other forms of small group interaction. I am confident that my family and spiritual resources are sufficiently supportive for this degree of involvement in a meaningful ministry. Our present relations are pleasant enough, but lack sufficient support for significant service without "moonlighting." Your suggestions and candid observations would be appreciated. The new radio series sounds like it is going to be significant presentation even to our brotherhood. If _available I would like copies ~_lliis series. -/m. /,/21"/4r You should know that our children have recently mentioned you and the Herald of Truth in their home prayers. They are some of your most ardent "fans." May the Lord be with you. Sincerely, ~~ Edward E. Coates P .o. Box 10101 Knoxville, Tn. 37919
