The Seminar, sponsored by the Division of the Local Church General Board of Education, the operation of Highland Park Methodist Church, Dallas, is aimed at better methods of worship and effective church growth.

The visiting district superintendents will attend the churches of their choice today in Atlanta and worship with the local public.

During the week they have visited local colleges and other local points of interest. They have held several workshops and discussion periods.

During these periods, church growth, the minister's job, use of the Bible and youth's part in the church, have been discussed.
